Drinking all the cups of coffee. Sharing all the drops of bliss. Creator of a cozy home & mama village.
First of all, I should very clearly define this upcoming road trip + week-long fishing experience as MY version of camping. David continues to correct me: "We are GLAMPING, Honey. We have a cabin and a few basic amenities like electricity, a limited indoor kitchen, and some indoor plumbing conveniences." From my perspective, though, there... Continue Reading →
Somehow, 2020 is closer to its halfway point than to its origin, and most of us have spent the springtime months staying home as the pandemic has swept across the United States. March and April feel like a blur in my memory. And while I can only share my own perspective as a doula and... Continue Reading →
It's Mental Health Awareness month. And I wish I could sing over so many of my fellow #mentalhealth sufferers the song of Keala Settle "This is Me" with the same bold bravery: When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out I am brave, I am bruised...

I've had the best intentions to keep a "Friday Favorites" blog trend going, but alas... By Friday afternoon the week has usually won and my creativity is at an all-time weekly low. And while Mondays are there own kind of crazy, I stand a better chance this morning of writing than later this week when... Continue Reading →
Those first 10 months of my experience of motherhood...you know when Abby was still inside my growing belly and contained...were rather idyllic.

However, the pros list stretched on and on, including the fact that my child didn't talk back or... Continue Reading →
My voice has modulated all the way from gentle and magical tones to loud, harsh and intense today with my children. I realize this is a mom's life, but I also strive to always maintain a safe space for my children in and around my person. It's a struggle on days that involve errands and... Continue Reading →
It's been dreary and cold and completely uninspiring outside our windows lately. Naturally, all I want to do (and am doing quite a lot of) is to eat expensive cheese, drink coffee, and burrow into couches and beds with my babies. I don't particularly want to run (not to mention, I've given up regular running... Continue Reading →
I was once told by a college English professor that my writing "soared on the heights of fancy." I treasured that as a compliment and had no way of knowing how fiercely the next decade or so would attempt to steal the joy of whimsy. My girlish heart then longed for fairy-tale endings complete with... Continue Reading →
As I dip my toes back into regularly blogging, I have promised myself to bring you a mix of motherhood, wellness, spiritual journey, home decor, eco-friendly living and whatever else happens to be stirring my soul. So I wanted to touch on today an interesting topic that I get questions about on a regular basis:... Continue Reading →
I get it. I get it. If you know me in person or through social media, then you know that lattes (despite drinking lots of decaf) and lavender (plus ALL the oils) are my jam. But, I thought I would share a few other things inspiring me these days. First on my inspiration list is... Continue Reading →
