Inspired by the lovely @whitneylperdue and added a little bit more to our Halloween decor this year (which is literally the two ceramic pumpkins on a table 😂🙈). Hazel loves pointing the butterflies out with a “bzzz” sound and I love the more delicate yet still creepy look they give rather than bats.

T minus 9 days away from meeting this little buddy

T minus 9 days away from meeting this little buddy and I couldn’t be more excited! Being pregnant for the majority of 2020 has made this pregnancy go dreadfully slow yet at the same time I can’t believe it is actually here. I remember feeling the same at the pinnacle of my pregnancy with Hazel: “Will I ever feel normal again and not utterly exhausted, achy, and useless for what feels like forever?” I did indeed get my energy back and although I may stay exhausted, at least my pelvis won’t feel like it’s split into three parts soon. 😵 So grateful for my body and the miraculous things it can do to bring us this precious child!

It’s October! That means baby month! And #inktob

It’s October! That means baby month! And #inktober! I have always loved watching artists explore and participate in Inktober and I thought the easiest way to make this month go by (since my due date is at the end) is to finally participate myself! I have very low expectations and may not post every single one but I did love dusting off my sketchbook after a very long time. It has been too long! There are daily themes and today’s is fish. My first thought was the Arabian fish on Fantasia. I was one of those weird kids who LOVED Fantasia, I would even say it was where my love of art began. Thanks for sticking around on this random account with no niche or rule. Happy October!

Another site launched! I would post a super cute photo of my client’s work or a pretty graphic but instead here’s a glimpse of how things get done behind the scenes — toddler sitting on an ever-shrinking lap while distracting her with food/phone/toy so she doesn’t touch the keyboard. She doesn’t love people being in her space but she does love intruding on mom’s when she feels like it 🙄. I’ll take all her cuddles when I can get them though!

I’ll post more once they announce the new site! Have a wonderful weekend!

Balancing motherhood and work has been exhausting

Balancing motherhood and work has been exhausting these past few weeks. Bouncing back and forth multiple times a day has my brain fried and full-on burn out, but I do enjoy the times I’m out and away and can fully be “present” with her in her element: nature. I’m pretty sure she would have been fine if we stayed there all day, even though she was soaked head to toe! Trying to enjoy these last few weeks of just the two of us left! Thanks so much for the amazing shots @anneemcmaster aka Hazel’s second mom. 😉 I literally would not know what I would do without her and the many many times she watches Hazel for me while I be fully “present” at work. Find yourself an Annee!

Our humble little garden gave us three tomatoes to

Our humble little garden gave us three tomatoes today! As a first-time gardener, I am happy with whatever I can get. I was going to hide the split and worm-hole parts but that wouldn’t show the reality of growing your own food, would it? (Can I say “growing your own food” if it’s only a handful of tomatoes/cucumbers a week? 🤷🏼‍♀️😅) I hope you can find the smallest of things to be grateful for on this Monday morning! 😊
