We are family. We are tight. We stand for things. I was inspired recently by the notion of a family crest. Although the history of crests or the coat of arms is deep and sometimes conflicting, the idea that I take away is a family trademark or seal – a custom stamp displaying symbols of […]

The playhouse. Oh, how I love this cozy little house out back. I remember securing this treasure like it was yesterday. I grew up with an adorable little custom playhouse in the backyard of my childhood home. Mom & Dad moved it in and built and created all the fixings for the inside. We entered […]

I love you because… {Love Jars}
April 22, 2013
I feel I’ve always had an appreciation on some root level for my mother – who she is, the way that I felt in her presence – safe, secure, and important, for the adventures and experiences she provided us with, and for the strength she has demonstrated through adversity.
