Happy Mother's Day! It's also Confirmation Day for Alex, so first to church, and then a celebratory brunch with my parents. Hoping your day is filled with family togetherness, too. 💗

While the kid's at her dance, date night, at a place where chandeliers hang on trees. It's good to be home.

Have been having so much fun at @mom2summit, I've forgotten to share photos! It's been amazing - reconnected with good friends (including a surprise dinner my bestie from Boston, who just happened to be in town!). @lauramayes, honey, you did it again - th

Sneak peek of a vision page in progress (vision page = a cross between a vision board and an art journal page). We'll be making one of these in GLOW, my upcoming ecourse - stay tuned! #makelight #artjournal #visionboard #journal

I've been thinking a lot about mindful style: what it means to consider what you stand for, and how you want to express that through the clothing you wear, and the jewelry you adorn yourself with. Naturally, as part of this, my thoughts turned to @stashco

For the last week, Alex has been working with the quadratic formula (remember? X equals minus b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac, all over 2a?). She understands it, but sometimes in her rush to get homework over with, she'll make silly

Have you heard of the #100daysproject? It's an online community that keeps each other accountable for making something small every day for 100 days. The word "make" is defined loosely, though - it could be make something you can hold, but also make music,

Starting my first week back working 100% for myself at an old favourite haunt. No time off: I'm deep in the throes of creating a new online course (which I hope to have finished this week), and then I launch headlong into creating a new podcast- a first f

Decided to walk around the block with my camera, and invited Alex to come with me; she decided to bring her camera too. So I decided to give her a little impromptu about how important light is. This dandelion modeled. #lookforthelight #dandelight

Perfect.

Today, I did something I haven't done in ages: I was mentally stuck, so instead of fighting through it, I grabbed my camera and took a walk in my neighbourhood. Sort of a little photography meditation. After living here for 10 years, my neighbours are so

Eventide. The days are getting longer, the humidity is low, so we grab candles and patio time while we can. Wishing you all a peaceful evening, friends. 🍺✨

Marcus and I went to the @alleytheatre tonight to witness the incredible @martharedbone perform her autobiography. She's a powerful singer, and combined with her storytelling, it's a history lesson of African-American, Native American and southern Americ

Soca. When she came home to us 2 years ago this month, she was an exceedingly cute almighty terror. She chewed everything. She'd run away. She'd climb up on our kitchen counters and steal fruit from the fruit bowl, for heaven's sake. Two years on, even t

I have spent literally all day overhauling chookooloonks.com, to the point I'm practically cross-eyed. But I've got it down to the tweaking stage - so time for a glass of wine, and watch the sun go down. Happy Saturday, friends.
