Thank you so much to those of you who sent encouraging messages, left kind voice-mails, and gave much-needed hugs after last week’s post. My mom’s words rung true shortly after the post went live: an opportunity, much more than what we had hoped for, presented itself. And we couldn’t be more thrilled about it. Again, thank you so much for the kindness […]

Last week we received not-so-good news. Nothing life threatening or earth shattering. It wasn’t anyone’s fault nor was it something we could’ve known six months ago. It was disappointing news. It was frustrating. It was something we hoped wouldn’t come our way. It was the type of news, a decision, that comes with its own ripple effect. I knew immediately certain plans would have to be put on hold for the unforeseeable […]

Father’s Day Weekend is upon us. And I’m a big fan. The Misters in our lives deserve a huge round of applause. Whether married or partnered, as a single-parent, sibling, or friend, they are always there for us whether we realize it or not. More and more, we see Dads being there for each other, which is awesome […]

I love getting personal mail. Not bills. But actual pen-to-paper, sealed and stamped mail. Postcards are totally groovy too (if you’re ever on a trip, snail mail me a postcard!). Needless to say I love getting invites via snail mail too. I completely realize e-invites have their place in the world (they make life easier) and an email dishing a party’s details is perfectly […]

It was a short week filled with a lot of goodness. That’s the kind of week I like. I’m also in denial May is over. Our Older is about to take up skateboarding lessons (he’s always been fascinated by skateboarders) and this past week, he graduated from preschool. I’m preparing myself mentally for the Younger to head off […]

I realize it’s not officially summer until June 21, but I’m calling it. It’s time to enjoy early summer evenings on the patio with a favorite sangria in hand. It also means it’s time to grab a few books, toss ’em in your bag for easy access while eating lunch at the park, laying at […]

With deepest gratitude… Come hang out with this lil’ bird! like sparrow | tweet with sparrow | sparrow’s pins | sparrow’s snaps  

As promised, a little catch-up from my month-long hiatus. Admittedly I’ve been sitting on this post for the last few weeks, constantly editing it. It was tough to write. While I feel a little guilty about how long this blog sat quiet, it ended up being a much-needed quiet time (so I’m sorry I’m not sorry?). The […]

Recently I was part of a motherhood interview series by Little Light Design Collective. A group of moms, who also are bloggers, participated by answering a set of questions. Answering some of the questions was a little harder than I expected. It was tough to be so honest about my motherhood experiences and remove certain walls to […]

Over the last few weekends, I’ve been deep into spring cleaning. In the process of working on rooms and closets throughout the house – and slightly by surprise – one morning, unplanned, I ended up cleaning out my office and moved a lot of things around, all in effort to pump fresh inspiration into it. My office sits in the back of […]
