Bouldering, Broken Records, Parenting, and Balance
A week of Rocky, college drop-offs, candle wax, and remembering to care for myself!

I quit ! ok ! keep calm and make chocolate !
Life has a way of repeating the same lesson until we finally slow down and listen. ✨
These past weeks reminded me: even in a world full of heaviness, we can’t let darkness steal our light. Let go of what’s non-essential, give yourself grace, and hold on to the joy that keeps us moving forward.
With love,

What is Normal, What is Happy
These past weeks flew by—ten precious days gliding with my family before September’s whirlwind begins. Between kids leaving for college, Rocky turning 12, and me learning to balance stillness with a tornado-paced life, I’ve been reorganizing, reading, and finding small anchors of joy. One of them: I’ve just restocked my Etsy shop 🌿 My tote bag “Regain Pleasure” has traveled everywhere with me for over a year and a half—I love it 🥰 Order yours, or explore made to bring a touch of inspiration into everyday life.
Eighteen and Everything in Between — Happy Birthday, My Jaimie
Happy 18th, ma fille.
As women, we must carve out space for our dreams, ambitions, and goals — while still giving our all to those we love.
This year, I had to learn to let go… while also showing you that I would drop anything to be there. Choices were made, sometimes hard ones — but always with love.
Happy birthday — I can’t wait to celebrate you in person. Je t’aime always 🪬

Couch potato to Dance Floor: From 4th of July to My Pre-Bastille Day Whirlwind
After a month away, I returned to Miami on July 1st—and went from jet-lagged couch potato on the 4th of July to dancing queen by Bastille Day. Between battling exhaustion, missing my kids, catching up on art, and celebrating French culture, this summer has been a true whirlwind. Here’s how I’m finding my balance (and my rhythm!) all over again.
Between Sirens and Super Dad Cake
Being in Israel these past 11 days has stirred something deep in me. Between the sirens and the strength of the people by day and night, we are witnessing a reality that is both hard and inspiring. Family meals, Shabbat tables, birthday cakes, and homemade wine remind us that even under threat, life insists on beauty and connection. We hold onto each moment, grateful to be together, praying for peace, and doing our best to stay grounded—one step at a time
Embracing Resilience and Courage & Call to action
Amidst the vibe of Ultra Miami, standing with Joep from Breda, we absorbed Armin van Buuren’s uplifting message: “We need more love. We are one.” Joep’s voice echoed: “Think about the solution, not the problem.” In that moment, I felt a surge of resilience and courage, dedicated to bringing back the hostages of the Nova Festival. Let’s carry their spirit forward with love and light.

Walking into the Week
To find balance in a constantly evolving world is equilibrist act that needs constant readjustments.
