Crowdsourced Kindergarten Advice + Encouragement
My beautiful, sunshine-filled, energetic, sensitive and brave five-year-old daughter is starting kindergarten next week. WHAT?!?! HOW?!?! You’ve probably heard the (paraphrased) Elizabeth Stone quote, but I feel it so tangibly right now: “[To have a child is to] forever have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I feel like I’m growing up alongside Lucy — the same person I’ve always been, but also a different version of myself now as a mother. The same me, but evolved and refined. continuously learning and growing and adjusting. Gosh – this is a new and very bittersweet season for our family. I know my IG community […]

Lucy and Winnie’s Puppy Party!
I’m so excited to share the details Lucy and Winnie’s joint puppy party with you today!

We haven’t thrown a proper birthday party (outside of our family) since Lucy’s 1st birthday and I was SO excited to go all out for their party! After the overwhelming and weird last couple of years, I was ready […]
Reflections from the other side of COVID
NOTE: I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share this, or to just write it for myself as a way of reflecting. More recently, especially with the new Omicron variant (ugh!), I’ve had more friends test positive and I am just so bummed for them. Hopefully this post in some very small way, shape, or form will be encouraging to those who get a dreaded positive test. Sending love, friends. — As most of you probably know, we got Covid in October, and today, I want to share some reflections and learnings from that experience. 💛 I’m intentionally not going into certain specifics – like […]
Family & Couple Greenhouse Photos
A few months ago, we had some family/couple photos taken in our greenhouse and I wanted to share! I always feel awkward getting professional photos done, but it’s always worth it to have moments like these captured.
