the second child

January 26, 2012 Family

What is it about that second child? I’ve talked to many women about their seconds and there is something so drastically different from their firsts; a free-spirited soul who marches to the beat of their own drum.

new spaces / new year: kitchen

January 11, 2012 Create

Good morning.  I’d like you to meet my favorite new hues of my otherwise unexciting kitchen. These colorful jars have a place on my kitchen window sill, a place where glasses usually sit (Bobby’s glass forgets about its place at the water station often), random buttons and other tiny objects, my herbs, and the likes.
