on a nature walk around our neighborhood during her first week of homeschooling
today we start week two
around here/social distancing
spring!
it is finally spring
despite everything that is going on in the world right now, yesterday was the first day of spring and it was a glorious one
i have been waiting for spring for so long….
i am happy she is finally here
this was Lily’s first week of homeschooling and we were mostly home with the exception of some walks in the neighborhood
she has math/reading packets to work on as well as planned lessons by her teacher online along with daily independent reading and journaling
once school work is done we occupy ourselves with artsy/crafty projects, cleaning, organizing, short dog walks….
so far we are ok
the social distancing comes somewhat naturally and is not the scary part
but let’s just stay indoors and take it one day at a time shall we?
with the windows open
because it’s finally spring!
hope you are all well friends
a dress day
she finally had her audition but because everything has been canceled we are not sure of the outcome
still a favorite family game
there have been a lot of dog walks
homeschooling day one
homeschooling day two
homeschooling day three
homeschooling day four
there have been lots of artsy projects

with everything that is going on with the coronavirus, as of today, Lilian will be out of school until the end of the month
homeschooling, neighborhood walks and ice cream it is then
hope you and all of your loved ones are safe and practicing social distancing
around here
so… the coronavirus…
although there have been no reported cases in our area, the board of commissioners declared a state of emergency in our county
these are testing times
anxious times
and to think we almost went to rome for spring break
hope you and all your loved ones are well
all is good on our side
happy friday friends
i’ve been going on my long morning walks again and to be honest, the biggest motivation is getting to see all the tiny signs of spring on her way
when my mom sends me pictures of herself
a constant work in progress. emotionally. mentally. physically
saturday morning
a family night out at the ballet
a sunday morning with beignets and friends
a sunday afternoon
this week’s warm and sunny weather felt like true hope that spring really is around the corner
after school walks with ice cream
closer than an ocean, where i go sometimes to soothe my mind
hanging in there
when it’s seventy degrees and your bestie comes over after school
practicing her arabesque for ballet auditions tomorrow in order to make it to pre pro
ARTsy wednesday
i have not drawn or painted many men
that said, when marc jacobs posted this picture of himself on instagram, i knew i had to paint it
marc has been a fashion inspiration to me since he designed that iconic grunge collection for perry ellis
i am quite pleased with how he turned out (he too “liked” it on insta after i tagged him on it)
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!

happy monday friends
around here
change is coming
sometimes you make change happen
sometimes change happens to you
this time, change is happening and i will just have to hold on, be strong and hope for the best
winter out of our bathroom window
the last of february out of our bedroom window
the beginning of march out of our kitchen window
a two hour delay kind of look
a snowy saturday
when i wake up starving
a bright kitchen corner on a gloomy rainy day. it’s been that kind of winter
but every now and again the sun comes out
wednesdays with her bestie. post school, pre gymnastics
the always inspiring marc jacobs
west palm beach memories
carolina beach memories
ARTsy wednesday
lucky stitched 13 was packed up and shipped off to miami yesterday
a dear friend purchased her
it will give me great joy to see her again when we go for spring break
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!

pink always makes everything better
valentine’s day seems like forever ago already
we drove one hour to greenville to see cirque du soleil’s axel. it was amazing!
