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 […]

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! 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 […]

  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 […]

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?

Happy Mother’s Day! Julian has something planned for today and the anticipation was killing me. Luckily, my daughter eased my guessing games:

Are we on week seven of quarantine? I’m losing track. I can tolerate being home pretty well and for the most part I enjoy it. Lately though, I’m finding myself wondering when this will all be over. Our days have somehow felt both long and short. Between breastfeeding discreetly during Zoom calls and helping the kids make pizza virtually with their class while trying to get Brody to fall asleep, it feels like

Happy Sunday and happy birthday to my son, Dylan! How is it possible that he is three-years-old already? I was initially proud of myself for planning his party two months in advance at an art studio because I knew things would get hectic after the baby’s arrival.

Hello! How are you? The past two weeks have been surreal with incredible highs and terrible lows. In case you missed it, our son, Brody, was born almost two weeks ago. When I think of the day we found out we were pregnant last summer, who could have predicted the circumstances in which Brody would […]

Another Sunday Edit for you guys! This weekend, we celebrated my sister-in-law’s birthday on Friday night (with rock climbing) and went axe-throwing (so pregnancy-friendly, I know) for a friend’s birthday on Saturday. I didn’t participate in either of the activities but was happy to play photographer for the night. I’m continuing my home projects and […]

Happy Sunday! This weekend we have minimal plans and I’m very happy about it. Here are some Sunday morning links from around the internet. 

Happy Sunday! This week was full of new content (see below), coffee dates, and getting ahead with work. I’m trying to get more articles scheduled in advance so when the baby comes, I don’t need to stress about deadlines and can truly enjoy the newborn life. Also, going forward new blog posts will be up on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. You can sign up for the newsletter in the footer below for an email update whenever there is a new article. Have a wonderful week!
