Home

Grateful to live in beautiful Marin, and not in the Central Valley.

wonderful birthday

Grateful for flowers and brekkie in bed, a beautiful painting gifted by my honey, a run to the beach, beach play with the girls, gorgeous day, lunch with a & m @ pelican inn, massage in afternoon, and a quiet evening at home. Perfect day, so blessed.

Mamma Day

Grateful for a morning with my girls, happy and free.

Sunny SF

When it's bright and sunny in San Fran, it's a grand place to be. Grateful for a run with the girls and Angus around Crissy Field + beach play this morning, and Park Chalet/ocean beach excursion this arvo. The city was alive and humming!

Spontaneous Evening

Grateful for a spur of the moment invite to join friends for dinner on the Sausalito waterfront this evening. Brilliant sunny evening, kids running around, delish fish tacos, and relaxed, cheerful company. Feeling blessed by my community - of people, of place.

Brother + Bachelor

Grateful for my kind brother who came to my house after the girls were asleep for a little while so I could go grocery shopping. So generous. 

And also for the season finale of the Bachelor, which gave me the perfect dose of escapism for the evening.

Thankfully, two very different men.

Mammas-in-Arms

So grateful to have a good mamma friend who was also happened to be without her husband this weekend. What might have been a long, lonely Sunday was instead filled with a great hike, joyful kids, communal lunch, and dinner out to boot. I was tired and probably not the most cheerful company, but at a certain point friendship goes beyond entertainment value. Feeling blessed to have familial friends, especially in the absence of family.

Water, Sun, Air

Grateful for a brilliant morning by the Bay, just taking it all in. Angus too.

My Husband

Grateful for his camaraderie + partnership; grateful that he prioritizes and is present with his family as much as he is; grateful that we support each other's careers + well-being; grateful how much he cares for me and the girls; and grateful for what we are building together. Ay, it's going to be a long week with him away in NZ!

New Playmates

Grateful for a the company of a lovely, comfortable friend on our trip to Muir Beach this afternoon, and an amazing first connection between our littlests. Henny + Carro hand in hand, into the sunset...oh, magic.

Happy Girls

Today I am most grateful for a quiet, uneventful afternoon with two happy girls: happy to read books with their tired mamma in bed, happy to eat my less-than-gourmet dinner, happy and snuggly at bedtime, and happy to say good night.

Mountain Run

Grateful for a misty cloudy quiet hour on the mountain this morning with Angus. Opportunities have been much less frequent in recent months and all the much more appreciated.
