Hi there, another week down! Summer is in full swing, and while I thought it would be pretty calm around here, it’s been the opposite. Between Naomi’s activities, my business, and everything else, I’m pretty sure I’m going to need a MAJOR vacation after this crazy Summer we’re having. In any case, so far, it’s […]

Being a part of the handmade and #shopsmall community is kind of like living in a small-ish town. If you don’t know everyone, you’ve at least probably heard of everyone. Once you’ve been doing this long enough and get to a certain size, people start to know your name, which is a cool feeling. And […]

Summer is exactly 88 days long, and in that time, there are a lot of things I want to do. I’ve always wanted to make a Summer bucket list; sometimes just writing down your goals make them much more achievable. With two kids, it can get stressful around here. But I want to make this […]

Let’s talk about meditation for beginners. A couple of years ago, after I had my first daughter, I was struggling with post-partum depression. I could usually somehow struggle through my day, and then I’d crawl into bed and my anxiety would skyrocket. I had so many things on my mind: my health, work, my new […]

Hi, and happy Tuesday! I typically try to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but this was a special occasion: a long weekend with the family at our family house in Galveston. And I decided I needed to take a break. So you’re getting a post on Tuesday. We all need a break every now […]

When it comes to our kids, it’s really the tiny moments that mean everything, isn’t it? Between the screaming and the temper tantrums and the middle-of-the-night feedings, sometimes it’s hard to even catch a breath throughout the day, let alone stop to appreciate things. I know I’m not at my most grateful when I’m exhausted […]

Happy M O N D A Y! I hope your weekend is starting off on the right foot. Our weekend was INSANE. Like, one of the busiest in recent memory, and I’m actually excited to see Monday so things can slow down a little bit. Does that even make sense? I’m extra excited, because we […]

Hi friends! Another busy and productive week on the books. I’ve been enjoying some time with my 2 year old, making an effort to spend one on one time with her, which was been a lot of fun for both of us. I’ve also been enjoying Tova’s new smiley stage; there’s really nothing better than […]

I remember in high school my friends and I would all go to an area of Houston known as Harwin, where you could get the biggest, chunkiest, gaudiest beaded jewelry in history for nothing. That was the style, right? Big, bold statement necklaces with big, fake stones… looking back, it was a sad, sad time […]

When I agreed to appear on an episode of Great Day Houston for a segment about how to mix prints, my first thought was, “what have I gotten myself into?” I knew I wouldn’t be picking the outfit myself — that was for the pros — but I was a little apprehensive to appear on TV […]
