How Do You Make a Split Without Screaming?
This summer reminded me that as our children grow, parenting changes too. Teenagers and young adults bring a new balance to find, and I’m still figuring it out.

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. ❤️

Trust the Flow
Learning to trust the flow of life means letting go of the need to control every detail and staying connected to what truly matters: our values, purpose, our people and the bigger picture. Often, the unexpected becomes part of the journey.
5 July 2026 – A Little Space
As our children grow, parenting quietly changes too. This week I reflect on family, summer, finding a little space to breathe after years of raising children, and the joy of watching them become more independent as they discover their own paths. Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America. 🇺🇸🌿

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.
A gift materially for sure, but also a gift to my heart and soul 🤍
A very unfiltered week 😅
Family, motherhood, exhaustion, admin overload, cooking for 14, missing Paris and my daughter, artist life, Glow!, New Mexico dreams, unexpected gifts from another artist… and somehow making the Top 15 of The People’s Artist competition 🤍
A little journal entry!
Wow! You are Amazing
This week: life in motion, and a moment that matters—
“Wow! You Are Amazing!” was acquired at The Bass Museum of Art by a collector it truly resonated with.
Exactly where it was meant to be.

Summary
Complaining.
Comparing.
Feeling.
And ultimately — trusting.
Because in a single week, life can hold everything —
what breaks the heart, what limits us, what lifts us, what finally comes through.
Life holds a portrait —
sometimes visible to all,
sometimes only to oneself.
And somewhere between what is seen, what is felt, and what is understood,
we are simply learning… to trust that things unfold as they should —
and that it is also in our hands to choose to trust,
and to make it for the better.

These Past Days — On Mothers, Exhaustion, and Crossroads
We all carry full plates.
Between motherhood, work, creation, responsibilities, and the world around us, the list never really ends.
But sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply pause… and make space to create again.
