Here’s David, trying to make Nathaniel smile. He loves watching the baby smile and I love watching him bond with the baby. I am so blessed to have such a sweet, kind boy (even if he tests my patience sometimes.)
And here’s a funny face from Nathaniel. Uneventful day today. Mostly rested. I am feeling really tired lately. I think almost three months of bad sleep is finally catching up with me.

I hadn’t taken a good photo of David in a while. Look at those piercing eyes. I know it’s been a lot of photos lately but I can’t help myself. I’ll stop soon, I promise. I have a lot of Nathaniel from today.
I love them both so much.

This question was: “What are your favourite days of summer/winter filled with?”
My days lately have been filled with dreaming about the life I want for myself and for my family. About making my dreams come true. So I decided to dedicate this card to that.
I painted the card green because I decided I didn’t have enough green cards so far. I then used clear embossing powder to stamp dream over and over again. I highlighted one and embellished around it and ta-da!

I know this photo is blurry but I just can’t get over how old he looks already. My little baby is no longer a baby. Time passes so quickly.
I can’t seem to get the feet photo right but I am going to keep trying. and I can never get enough sleeping photos. He looks so peaceful and I love how he hugs himself. His hands are still in fists most of the time.
I hope for this to be an uneventful day. I am tired and it’s already almost noon. Nothing done yet. Maybe the second half of the day will be better. I have my friend Sandra coming tonight and I am looking forward to seeing her.
Here’s to a productive day.

How do you not fall in love with this little boy?
And here’s David, eating, watching a movie, and playing all at the same time. At his little table.
His eyes are still sort of blue. This week has been relatively unproductive, but I am hoping next week will be better. Nathaniel isn’t sleeping well at night. I can’t tell if it’s something I am doing wrong or just cause he’s still so little.
We had the pleasure of our friends Manu and Hana’s visit today, it was great. Especially since they had such wonderful news. I am glad that we’re starting to see friends again. I miss seeing people.

David spends so much time trying to get Nathaniel to laugh that I wanted to capture a few of the photos of Nathaniel looking at him and smiling.
And here’s David:
An uneventful day here, feeling tired and unmotivated. Trying to cut myself some slack and let myself rest. Hope your Monday is well.
And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUKI!

This question was: “What have you found lately?”
This one took a long time. In the end I decided to make it about freedom. I feel freer and happier than I have in a long long time. So here’s to my newfound freedom.
I cut a transparency in a tag shape and used a collection of alcohol inks on it and some copper mixative. I then stamped it with a music stamp and put some butterflies and a few letter stickers. I don’t really like how it turned out but honestly I can’t ever get the alcohol inks right no matter how much I try. These tags are for experimenting after all so I am letting this one stay.

This question was: “On my walls i would write… ”
I can never remind myself this enough. Before David was born, I literally put this on my wall “Give up that there’s something wrong.” I need to live life happier and less worried.
Fabric, some leaves, a frame, buttons and a little baker’s twine with some pretty trim and some small letters.

This question was: “Have you had a hug today?”
I am lucky that I get and give hugs all day long. My husband and kids are very generous with that.
I stamped with the clock and used clear embossing powder. I then inked over it and added two clock faces and spinners.

This question was: “Name something you don’t understand, but you want to…”
I thought of math and science. I am good at math but I wish I were excellent.
I put chipboard numbers and painted over the whole thing.

A productive weekend here and a relaxing one. I finished Nathaniel’s book and caught up on almost all the tags. Still have some catalysts to do but making progress.
I hope this week is just as productive.
