Smile!

What a happy Valentine's Day this was, filled with people I love and much gratitude.  
The morning was highlighted by a photo shoot with a great friend and her sweet baby, Andrew.  This little guy is truly the happiest baby I've ever known - his adorable giggle is positively contagious!

New Beige

It's been a day of indulgence in my home-sweet-hometown: my favorite linguica and mushroom pizza from Pa Raffa's, visits to TWO portuguese bakeries, a nostalgic drive through Acushnet and Fairhaven, and cribbage-playing and movie-watching with Mom and Dad.  This is the way to spend a Sunday.

Home

A visit to the ocean is like going home. I release all worry to her crisp sea air and roaring waves and my soul is soothed.

Belly Love

I love my job.

Sanctuary

It was a gorgeous day for a drive to Lincoln and a visit with one of my dearest doula sisters.  I always love the opportunity to escape the city and spend time with Maria in her cozy home with its happy orange door. I am so grateful for this beautiful friend, her generous heart, and her kind wisdom. 

Tug

We're having major breakthroughs on the "little sister/big sister play" front.  Fergie is PSYCHED!

Rice and Beans

Kerry and Mary are the kind of friends who venture out on a 7° Tuesday evening to bring yummy Dominican comfort food and the absolute best hugs.
