It’s not everyday this happens. My anticipation of this moment, the “unveiling” so-to-speak, has been long and drawn out. So I feel I could say so many things. Let’s just say it has been a long process, this new BLOG thing! (Did you notice???)
We’ve been through a few logos, stalled by life, stalled by the crazy “i literally have 2 minutes to return emails before I cook dinner for 5, tidy up, put littles to bed, brush teeth, so – no, I probably won’t get to organizing and editing those galleries today, or tomorrow, or seemingly ever”…only to be awoken at 2 am thinking of all the things I need to do, and will be doing in 2 hours, when I awake at 4am to make quick pops in and out of vendor booths, collecting flowers, harvesting materials, filling up my treasure trove for a wedding.
We have been busy little bees over here and I feel triumphant about a season that was undoubtedly our best ever, full of challenges and innovative, inspiring people. Some of those people starting their lives together as family. We were a part of that, in some small, wonderful way.
So this blog had to wait….and wait.
and finally we have arrived!!!
And this is what’s on my mind…
My days are full lately – of some softer, smaller moments where I have patience and can be connected to my life with more tenderness.
I spent a full 20 minutes with Alice in the parking lot of the market, making silly faces at each other through the windows; while she carefully and diligently worked to button up her own sweater. Maybe 8 buttons…
I loved watching her little 5 year old fingers work on this project. I loved her ability to be focused, be playful, and all the while never getting frustrated when the buttons didn’t cooperate, or when they slipped and she had to start again. A week ago my head might have exploded while I waited for her to work through one button, and then I may have just grabbed her up, rushing, pushing through the day’s chores. Not having the time, not willing to be patient.
But not this time.
So I’m trying to be present. Take my time. It feels so good and the act itself, is it’s own sweet reward.
welcome to the new blog. I hope you like it.

It’s so worth the wait, both the blog and the site are exquisite and inspiring. I’ve been struggling to stay in the moment this fall wedding season too, reading your post helped. Hope you get to spend some down-time with your family this holiday season!
