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.
What Mayci Neeley’s Book Reminded Me About Humanity, Womanhood, Motherhood, Courage, and Truth — and What Women Have in Common, Wherever They Come From
I finally finished Mayci Neeley’s book — one I had preordered months before it even came out. What began as a tough read, filled with pain and uncomfortable truths, slowly unfolded into something deeply meaningful.
Womanhood, Motherhood — in all its forms — is a universal language. No matter where we come from, we share the same fears, hopes, and strength to grow through life’s hardest moments.
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.
