which brings me to beautiful emily. an amazing mom, talented artist, and warm-hearted soul, this incredible human was one of my very first instagram friends. i have loved following her life's journey over the past couple of years - a courageous move from florida to new york, perfect images of her beautiful family (and their many amazing adventures), and watching her sweet daughter lily growing up right before our eyes. all captured in pretty little square photographs. emily has also introduced me to a gaggle of other beautiful souls and like-minded mamas through her real life friends- slowly this web-community grows and grows. its pretty incredibly!

something that makes your heart happy
The obvious answers would be my daughter, my partner, and making art. But, let's be honest, those things don't come without the occasional frustrations. Give me a day with crisp air and a cloudless blue sky and my heart will sing, every time, without fail.
your all time favourite recipe
Um. Come back to me? I hardly ever cook meals that require recipes and when I do, I'm likely to toss the instructions aside and just wing it. But, Drea's spin on this classic dish (The BEST Vegan Mac + Cheese) gets me every time. It's to die for. http://ohdeardrea.blogspot.com/2010/12/food-post.html
your all time favourite photograph
your all time favourite photograph
Oy. It's forever changing. But, at the moment, it's this photo of my little family. Those two are everything.
something in your home that you adore
My couch. It first belonged to my grandmother, then my mother, and now it's mine.
something on your wish list
A studio. Working from home has allowed me invaluable time with my daughter during these first years of her life. But, it's time to branch out, for both of us.
(editors note: emily is SUCH an incredibly talented painter and illustrator. i adore (ADORE!!) her custom family portraits and can't wait to one day commission her to do a piece for me. have a peek here)

something totally random about yourself
I love solo road trips, in total silence. I really value alone/quiet time (something I very rarely get living in New York City with a toddler.)
