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. 🇺🇸🌿
where the Sunday blog doubles as a philosophical reckoning and you finish it before the to-do list wakes up.
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 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!
I used to feel like I had no control over my time or life.
Learning to say yes to others… and also to myself changed everything.
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.
Last Sunday of the year.
While my IG reached almost half a million views in the past 90 days, it’s here, on the blog, that I slow down and say what doesn’t fit in a caption. This space asks a bit more effort — and I believe effort deserves something extra. So if you’re here, this one is for you 🥰
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.
A week of Rocky, college drop-offs, candle wax, and remembering to care for myself!
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,
Jess 🌸
