ARTsy wednesday
with both Lilian and i creating so much art lately i decided to start documenting it here again with these ARTsy wednesday posts
here are some of her recent works
happy ARTsy wednesday!
44/52. twenty nineteen
“a portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2019”
Lilian
on halloween dressed up as Mal from the descendants with some of her besties before heading out to go trick or treating
when i first began this 52 project in twenty thirteen (here), i wanted it to be all about Lily (of course) but i also wanted it to be about photography
i made it a point to only post pictures taken with my nikon or canon
Lily was so small then
she wasn’t in school and we would spend the days together going on adventures or just playing at home and in the yard
there was time for photography with the nikon then
at the end of every week i would have so many pictures of Lily to try to choose from (it was always so hard)
throughout the years, as she has grown and has started school and after school activities full time, it has been more challenging to keep this project going with the same photography quality
there are weeks when i go through my phone (shameful) looking for a picture of Lily for this project
like this past week
there were none
life is busy
Lilian is busy
so here she is this week with a group of friends
and this is who she is these days
a busy almost ten year old who is fun, creative, loving, honest, active and who enjoys spending time with her friends
it’s a hard transition for this mama heart but this is who she is and who she will be more and more as time goes on
this is her last week as a nine year old (she turns ten on thursday) and i am trying to figure out how the past decade went as fast as it did
happy monday friends
around here. halloween
this year halloween was celebrated for a week
it started last friday when Lily got dressed up to go to her halloween lock in at her gymnastics
then on saturday we had our neighborhood halloween party
and finally yesterday on the rainiest and coldest day of the season we finally went trick or treating on actual halloween
phew!
all fun but, dare i say that i am a little halloweened out???
happy friday and happy november friends
it is currently thirty degrees
temperatures have really dropped and will continue doing so for the weekend
we are staying in!
all dressed up for her halloween lock in
getting ready for our neighborhood halloween party
some of the neighborhood
with her bestie since first grade all ready to go trick or treating on halloween

Lilian
so close to double digits it’s really freaking me out
how did this past decade go by so fast!!???
around here
and just like that the end of october and halloween are here
this saturday we have our neighborhood halloween party and it feels like it was talked about forever and now here it is
i know i have said this before but i really do feel like this time of year goes by way too fast
there just seems to be one thing after another and before i know it, it’s a whole new year
anyway, we had ourselves a pretty easy week keeping busy with our regular every day routine
William has actually been in nyc since wednesday morning so it’s been just Lilian and i
happy friday friends!
autumn is absolutely glorious this year. outside
and inside
a selfie
all the portuguese memories that sit on our kitchen window sill
and in my phone
our kitchen is by far the most used room in our home
weekends are for sleeping in
weekends are also for finding new delicious places to eat at
i painted eight faces
Katya was already sent to her new home in seattle washington
and Bella was sent to her new home in st. paul minnesota
hat weather
leaf love
rebel girl
ARTsy wednesday
well, i bought a pack of eight small canvases and i said i was going to paint a small collection of acrylic portraits and i did it!
i know it may not seem like a lot but as most of you must know yourselves, time is a luxury these days
i compromised my morning walk/run in order to paint but it was totally worth it!
it felt wonderful to paint every day and to be able to fill a canvas with something
i may buy another pack of eight canvases and keep going….
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!

Lilian
at her first leaf festival on a beautiful autumn day
happy monday friends!
hope you all had a fun weekend
around here
temperatures changed drastically this week
it was in the low forties in the mornings (and almost all day yesterday) and it’s in the thirties right now (it’s a little after six in the morning)
it’s like we went from summer straight to winter (let’s not talk about how it already snowed in west virginia)
but this crazy fast change in weather won’t stay
true autumn weather is in the forecast and i am looking forward to it
hope you guys are enjoying the change of season where you are
happy friday friends!
early morning walks and preferred architecture. clean, modern, brick free
sevilla memories
a playdate
miami dog always looking for the sunshine. i am guilty of the same
autumn light and shadows
saturday morning hammock snuggles
that tiny beauty mark by her eyeball tho
reading trump tweets
my collection of acrylic portraits is growing. as of yesterday there are six
Lily’s amazing elephant
all the green babies will soon need to come inside but i am putting it off as much as i can because this space will look sad and empty without them
looks and moods

having some trampoline time on a beautiful saturday morning
happy monday friends!
ps- only eleven weeks until twenty twenty!!! seriously!????
around here
this week we were all a little off trying to fight whatever little cold was trying to get us
we were all a little slower, a little achy and a little sniffly
but, we pushed on through and kept going with our regular routine
looking forward to the weekend so we can just take it easy and get some extra sleep
happy friday friends!
last friday’s happy hour with my favorite girl
our hibiscus keep on blooming and it always makes me so happy
obsessed with being a contortionist
we took Lily to the circus and not only did she dress the part but she found her second family
i took my things to the sunday market and sold a bunch of stuff
i also brought home a new pitcher (it was free)
orange season
panama city beach memories. so good!
miami dog who always finds the sunny spots
i started painting with acrylics this week. felt so freeing!
new stamp and blockprint by Lily. she’s slowly getting ready for the big crafty fair in december
