some good stuff around here

 

* this is my gorgeous girl  these days...very self assured, independent and brimming with life. She loves anything pink, sparkly and girlie (can you tell???) and wants to do everything herself, thank you very much!

Just trying to really savor every moment of her adorable self because, quite frankly, it's all going by waaaaay too fast for my liking. 

We've set up her little corner of my studio (pics soon!) and we both love it!!! Everything is arranged so Tara can be creative anytime she feels like it...and she has full access to crayons, markers, watercolors, pencil crayons, oil pastels, papers etc. She just started her very first sketchbook and is busy drawing + writing away...this is her most recent self portrait with glasses...I can't get over how detailed and emotive her drawings are. Also...did I mention we have been overtaken by glitter???? it's impossible to get this stuff out!

 This past week has been so sunny and warm that, except for the fallen leaves, is more like summer! We have been going on our photowalks...and it's refreshing, meditative and calming. Really been incorporating this into our everyday lives.

This is my breakfast most days...smoothies chock full of goodness...keeps me full until way past lunchtime. Also sticking with my morning workouts...some days it's such a struggle...I really only want to go back to sleep once the alarm goes off... but I just made pact with myself to practice self care...it's non-negotiable ...and that's that!

So happy to be featured in the Women in Art 278 November Issue that showcases female artists from all over the world! I am honored to have my work with so many talented women...my heart is full of gratitude these days. P.S. If you are interested, you can order the printed or digital version.
