There is a life-sized me in my little art studio staring at another me propped up against the wall. There is yet another me chilling out on the living room table. Feeling a little schizophrenic. At the end of four intense weeks of “immersion painting and drawing” I have : A newly multicolored desk Streaked … Continue reading
This week marks the one year anniversary of Funky France – wow ! And it also happens to be my last few days in Ibiza, which I can hardly believe. Six weeks have flown by already; six weeks of exploring, struggling, cooking, laughing, reflecting, bonding and changing. I’ll be honest, at the beginning of my … Continue reading
I love it when I get to cook dinner for “my” kids. Last Friday was a special night, a.k.a. no-parents-night with Dash and Bella.

The apartment has been topsy-turvy this all week as the renovations continued. It blows my mind how fast Clem and his friends have gotten this place transformed! They have been working tirelessly … Continue reading

We have to get through another 5 days before another lazy morning in bed, cocooned in cozy comforters and fighting over who gets to be little spoon. Needless to say, yesterday wasn’t the … Continue reading
