One year come and gone. I had great intentions of writing some grand post about this but all I can muster up is this: a link to a wiki article about birthday cake. Interesting, no? Perhaps someday I will gather... Continue reading

Thank you for your support, MK! I am so excited for you and your family and your pursuits. I definitely believe that growing families need the work that you do. Did I tell you about my sister's doula? Super inspiring story I'll share more privately some time. Here's to hoping our work pays off!

a post on "why"

As some of you know, I've been working on this project since January. I can honestly say, it's been more work than any other project I've done (apart from raising a child, of course). Recruiting artists, sponsors, finding venues, figuring... Continue reading

little lessons

Since Asa's birth I've learned more about myself and other people than I did during the previous 29 years. I learned about friendship and fear, about my shortcomings and strengths, about expectation and the power of thought. I learned that... Continue reading

If you follow my instagram, you may notice I stole these images from there. I hope to be back to sharing real photos soon, but these shall suffice. Life lately is full of projects. Our CSA box comes stuffed full... Continue reading

Seven years. This May marked my seventh "blogging anniversary". It came and went, no fanfare, no celebration. Does it matter? Should it matter? And once again the question, why am I blogging? Over the past seven years we built a... Continue reading

progress

Having a child made me realize that I need to start recognizing progress in a different way. Little victories become large ones, daily tasks are celebrated. Finishing chores is the sign of a good day, indeed. Hopes of resurrecting this... Continue reading

thirty before thirty one

Yesterday was my 30th birthday. It felt special but not, big and little, insignificant and significant. I'm a believer in recognizing the power of each day-not just focusing on milestones...but I couldn't help but be reflective. It was all in... Continue reading

Asa is only seven months (well, in a few days he'll be seven months) but since he's been crawling for the past month, I've been thinking about walker wagons. Now, in no way shape or form do I want to rush my baby into walking (gah, it's crazy how fast... Continue reading

purl babies

I am endlessly inspired by the purl bee blog. Their babies category is filled with stunning, modern craft projects. I find their patterns to be fairly simple and straightforward (I made this blanket for Asa). Maybe next year I'll create my own version of this easter basket? Have you ever... Continue reading

five things
Image
So, it's not exactly a secret that the first six months of motherhood kicked my booty. In all seriousness, I was pretty consumed with postpartum anxiety (and pre existing depression). There were weeks where I rarely left the house with Asa for fear that x,y, or z would happen. Looking... Continue reading

Asa's first dishes
Image
So we've started Asa on solid food. Of course, it's once a day-in very tiny amounts and it's a process but yes-the process has begun! At this point, we're not really in need of dishes for Asa. I have a tiny little Japanese saucer (a little present given to me... Continue reading
