Amsterdam empowering faith inspiration tranche de vie travel traveling with kids Week-end trip Where should I go in:
Sunday, 26 July 2026!
Time in Amsterdam became much more than a family visit. It was a journey through history, resilience, community, and hope—reminding me that while we cannot change the past, we can choose how we carry it forward, rebuild, and bring more light into the world. 🤍
In two days, our second daughter turns 19. ❤️ on the Jewish calendar it’s already tonight and we spent it together 😘
As our daughter is about to turn 19, I’m reminded that young adulthood is also a season when parents learn to let go a little more—to trust, to hope for the best, and to keep loving while giving their children the space to become who they are meant to be, while allowing ourselves the space to become who we are meant to be, too. ❤️
Hup hup horray Hup
Almost July already! This week was about firsts, laughter, and slowing down: my first live football match after 22 years of marriage, the incredible energy of the Dutch Orange Army, a much-needed break, and rediscovering the world through my artist’s eyes… plus one unexpected victory—a pair of pants! 🤣

Progress Over Perfection, Trust Over Fear, and Finding Balance
As May comes to a close, I reflect on two lessons that kept returning: don’t wait for perfection, and don’t be afraid to tell your story. Between being a mom of three, an artist, observing Shabbat, navigating family spread across continents, and building new projects, this month reminded me that progress, rest, courage, gratitude, and letting go all have their place.
Have You Ever Hunted Pythons in the Dark of the Everglades?
Sometimes life gives you beautiful milestones and emotional exhaustion at the exact same time.
This past season has been filled with difficult realizations, family transitions, moments of pride, moments of doubt, motherhood, fatigue, growth, letting go… and also deep gratitude.
A reflection on what happens when we keep showing up because we must, even while emotionally and physically depleted — and on learning that balance is not only needed after the storm, but before and during it too.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 🤍
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 🤍
As many of you know, making the invisible contributions of women and mothers more visible has always been at the heart of both my art and Unchained Mothering.
Today, if you’d like to support me and my artistic journey, you can also help make my mother’s contribution more visible ✨
I’m currently in 1st place in my group in The People’s Artist presented by Johnny Depp, but the race is incredibly tight and every single vote truly counts.
Voting is free and can be renewed every 24 hours 🙏
Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting art, mothering, women, and visibility.
