Thanks park.

We live in an old factory - which has amazing advantages like the sound of the rain on the roof, and lots of space with high ceilings and exposed beams, and the openess of not too many walls, and that... Continue reading

My little muffin.

The overripe bananas on the kitchen counter and a-bit-too-tart-to-eat-straight-up blueberries in the fridge were calling my name today, so I found a recipe online for blueberry banana muffins to give them some justice. (Thanks for the inspiration, Jess!) Gabrielle was... Continue reading

I'm a little bummed to be leaving summer camp (Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizon) today. It has been such an amazing, inspiring, spiritually re-energizing visit. A chance to learn and reflect. I drank a TON of water. And ate healthy,... Continue reading

Wing Haven Gardens.

I LOVE when my mom and dad travel to Charlotte to visit us. And their recent visit was an extra special one because there were several must-visit places I wanted to take them. The places were special because they remind... Continue reading

Dailys.

In my efforts to refine my getting ready and going to bed routine (after achieving simplification with makeup), I've narrowed my favorite products/necessary prescriptions down to this: Clindamycin pledgets. Love these medicated wipes as a quick step after washing my... Continue reading

Highlight.

Added a little highlight to my current haircolor today. This color combination is actually about as close to my natural haircolor as I've been in many, many years. I think over the course of the next couple visits, I'll work... Continue reading

Witnessing early language development is one of my most favorite parts about being a mama. Here's the photographic evidence of how Gabrielle's statements come to fruition. The statements Gabrielle told me tonight were "Have fun. Love Belen." Which, after some... Continue reading
