My mom left yesterday after a weeklong visit which was so wonderful. My kids adore her but for health reasons she’s not able to get here very often so when she does, it’s extra special. She spent hours reading books to and playing games with both of my kids and they loved all the extra attention from their May May. I got a few meals out with her to meaningfully catch up too. My sister and her family came up last weekend so we had a very full house with all of the cousins and I loved every second of it!
When we bought our house 3 years ago, that kind of weekend was exactly what I had envisioned.
Yesterday I finally announced one of the big projects I’ve been working on which is a small spring collection with one of my very favorite brands, Ophelia and Indigo! I had bought one of their dresses in early 2020 when they first launched the brand and organically connected with the two female founders. I love everything they stand for from ethically and sustainably made clothing (their dedication goes beyond anything I’ve ever seen) to their partnership with Pajama Program and of course, their beautifully crafted dresses and shirts.
This collection has been in the works for almost a year and I finally saw all of the final pieces together in person yesterday for the first time. I teared up because it is perfect and so me and exactly what I want to wear all spring and summer! It will be launching in April but I’ll be sure to share peeks of it before then.
