Good morning, last Tuesday of April. This morning I feel fascinated over my experience with motherhood, how it came upon me slowly during those first few weeks of gestation, then later, intensely as birth occurred. And now, seven years in, we’ve settled into a family rhythm that continues to fascinate me. Life around here is,… [Read More]

Gift wrap made from Real Simple magazine pages…
As we prepared for Marigold’s 4th birthday celebration, it seemed fitting to gather some back issues of my favorite magazine, Real Simple, to use as gift wrap.

MAKE IT: learn to watercolor with your children!
Perhaps you’re like me and you really enjoy creating with your children, especially when it can be displayed year after year?

The colors of motherhood.
Last week after naps, I gathered my tribe of small people to zip coats and buckle seat belts. While out running errands we shopped for nail polish and birthday party things (my sweet Natalie has turned FIVE). I’ve never bought five bottles of nail polish before, but I suppose that’s what happens when you have two… [Read More]
