Teething like crazy. I wish you could slow down baby Lara. Even though you cried all day today, I’m blessed to be your mama. You bring light to our days. My little “boneca”. Flipped the calendar, it’s March… it’s March. My favorite Brazilian bossa is called “Águas de Março”, it means waters of March. It talks about the end of… Read More
Hello New Year!

Our house isn’t as old as most of the homes in our area, but it’s old enough to be sweet and full of character. I didn’t love the archways at first, but now I am so… Read More
