Happy Sunday! I wanted to share a program I’ve been volunteering the past few years called Brushes with Cancer. This program matches artists with individuals touched by cancer (inspirations) and over a six month period, the artists and inspirations work together to create a unique work of art that is reflective of the inspiration’s journey with […]

I had such a fun weekend with the family. We went to Mood’s Farm Market again, which is our recently discovered pandemic activity that we just can’t quit. We picked our own fruit (blackberries, nectarines, plums), saw some of the largest sunflowers I have ever seen in my life, and just enjoyed being outside in […]

We had a pretty uneventful weekend and I was loving it. Other than play dates, pool time and rediscovering Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, by Judy Blume, the weekend was spent relaxing with the family. Just how I like it. Have a great week! Links around the web below. The Sunday Edit Articles // […]

Happy Independence Day! I feel so grateful to be in this country and often think about how different life would be in my birth country, Ukraine, if my parents never immigrated to the United States. I consider it their greatest gift to my brother and me. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend celebrating the […]

Hello! We spent the weekend picking blueberries and raspberries at a local farm and playing outside. This is my new favorite photo of the kids.

Hello! How are you? Happy Memorial Day weekend! I’m very much late to the game on this but i’ve been staying up late every day this week watching Arrested Development. I can’t believe I never watched it when it was originally on. Have you seen it? I almost wish I didn’t discover it […]

Good morning! This has been a heavy week. I’ve spent too much time watching reports of antisemitic hate crimes and it’s heartbreaking. Remember when we learned about the Holocaust in middle school history class and it all felt unbelievable that humanity would stoop so low? I remember feeling how something so horrific could never happen […]

Happy Sunday! The highlight of my week had to be the CDC announcement. How are you feeling about it? I’ve gone out without a mask twice now and to me, it was a combination of the feeling I have when I realize I left my house and forgot to put a bra on and simultaneously […]

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m writing this a day late because we spent Sunday with family and it was lovely and although I did try to sneak away to finish this post a few times, I didn’t get more than a line or two done before hearing one my babies yell out “mama” without the patience […]

I’m writing this post from my parent’s house and it is glorious. They’re currently watching Brody while I get in some uninterrupted blog time. We’ve been hanging out here all day and I can’t help but think about all the times I played in this same room with my little brother when he was […]

A week ago, I picked up the kids from school and we walked home together instead of our usual car commute. It was a beautiful, unexpectedly warm day in the high 60s, enveloped by cold status quo days. As we came closer to our house, some of the kids in the neighborhood were riding scooters […]

The Sunday Edit How are you? How are you feeling? My kids have been on Spring Break this week and we’ve been loving the downtime together. Brody turned one a few weeks ago so we had a mini celebration at home. J and I decided that once things feel safe again, we’re having a big […]

How are you? How are you feeling? This feels like such a loaded question with everything going on in the world. I have good days and days when it feels like everything is crashing down around me but I’ve been focusing on the good and keeping everyone around me as safe and healthy as […]

There’s something about this photo that makes me smile – Brody’s inquisitive look, my happiness, our togetherness. I can just imagine myself looking back on this photo twenty years from now and remembering this moment in the park, taking a break from everything. Just sitting together enjoying the sunshine while Perry and Dylan run around […]

It feels like these two are always up to something. 🙂 Since having Brody, it seems like their bond has gotten deeper. Whenever I need to feed or change the baby, they are happy to play together. It’s been really incredible seeing them mature in subtle ways – singing to Brody, throwing away a dirty […]

Happy Sunday! This week we spent more time outside, even when it was raining. The kids put on their rain boots and rain jackets and we spent some time splashing around in puddles and seeing who could jump the highest. It was a really sweet moment. Truthfully, I had to pause a few times […]

This is an old photo but I love this Reformation dress and can’t wait to wear it this Spring with some sandals. For now, I’ll settle for the barefoot quarantine look. Happy Sunday, friends. How are you?

Is it strange that i’ve been enjoying the simple life recently? I go back and forth between feeling restless and needing to be as productive as possible to feeling quite the opposite. This morning, I nursed Brody in my bed and read my Kindle while drinking a warm mug of coffee as everyone […]
