A rose is a rose is a rose. I think I am only on #day17 of my #40pages40days challenge. I probably only draw every three days so it will be more like #40pages120days, but it's better than nothin', right? Right?! Also, this drawing happens to be a #darling

A reason to celebrate: 69 cents at Trader Joes for the prettiest pumpkin I ever did see. Nature is amazing. Also: it isn't 100 degrees outside anymore! #40pages40days #day16

Lately, when I am feeling off...or awful...I tell myself, "I've been here before. I've felt these feelings. I thought they would never end. But they did." Recognizing the feelings and remembering that I've come out on the other side of them is pretty com

I am beyond thrilled with my first order of prints from @artifactuprising. The quality is superb and the packaging is perfection. (What took me so long?!) Today is the last day to score 25 free prints of your own. #notanad #justafan #5minutecrush

Maira has been coloring daily--sometimes first thing in the morning--for 30, 40 minutes at a time. Her dedication inspires me.

Thank you guys so much for the amazing response to my first #40pagesin40days sketch yesterday! I swear, I could almost hear you cheering me on. Today's page is brought to you by a severe lack of sleep due to 4-year-old nightmares (poor little thing) and

One of my biggest challenges as a mom is making time for making. I used to fill sketchbooks with drawings, paintings & collages. I used to have weekly crafternoons with girl friends. I always had my hand in something—and often, a lot of things. I miss tha

You guys, I'm obsessed with this chocolate that Ez introduced me to. The rocky road bar is what my Willy Wonka dreams are made of. And the pretzel toffee bar (not pictured) is sweet and salty heaven. Regram 📷 @creaturecomforts #5minutecrush

I filled my cup this weekend, spending time away from home and work and all the things in between that I pour myself into. I am so grateful for the conversations, the laughs, the food, the sleep(!), the friendship.

This week's #theartonmywalls is in a corner of our bedroom. Hanging near our beds is a portrait of me sleeping. It was a wedding present, and it's one of my favorites. Below is a Matisse print of Rama's that coincidentally echoes the piece above. And then

Our last week at home with this little girl before she (finally) starts pre-k. Her pops bought her the new @spacedumplins book and she loved it so much she started reading it in the car.

Topped with Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce, and dinner is served! Both recipes were totally manageable and super yummy. I just need to perfect the salt and pepper amount for the pasta dough. #whatidowhenihaveathreedayweekend #homemadehughes #seriouseats

I've been collecting children's books since I was a child myself. So has Rama. We had amassed quite the collection before we had kids of our own, and now our library continues to grow. Inspired by @petitcollage, I am gonna share some of our favorites here

This week's #5minutecrush is totally this boss lady @hedleyandbennett. Her friendly spirit, sense of humor, business savvy, and smile completely inspire me. Tonight she celebrated her apron empire's 3rd anniversary. I am awestruck by what she has built in

Lately I've been feeling the pull toward what I keep thinking of as the anti-hustle. I just want to lie under more trees and look up at more stars. I want picnics and dinner parties. I want lingering moments with the people in my life who get me.
