Julia is six months old and I still can’t believe it. There is no doubt in my mind that being a mother to this awesome baby girl is the best part about life. I might have rolled my eyes at that notion a few years ago, because I felt entirely fulfilled. Now I think I had barely started charting the land and sea of my life. Julia arrived and suddenly my world became a universe—I looked up and saw the stars for the first time. Dazzling, terrifying, and inspiring all at once. 

Today we celebrated Julia’s first Easter. It was a perfect day. In her basket she found a soft sheep, a knit chick, a small birdie comfort blanket, bubbles, a Dora the Explorer light up toy, and a set of brightly colored socks. We hunted for easter eggs together but the candy is for mom and dad. 

The day could not have been possible without my amazing sister. Hope everyone had a lovely day. 

This dress has been sitting in my closet for years begging to be worn again. So I wore this lilac dream to dinner tonight. You know how you can re-read a book or listen to an old song and they seem different because your perspective has changed? The last time I wore the dress I felt pretty. But when I looked in the mirror this evening, I felt powerful. So even though the dress is old, I am new.
