A lighthearted quick drawing while I poke around the new iPad. This is my baby girl imagined as a little lady. She’s so proper and always picks her pinky up when eating or drinking, but she still makes a mess of her sweet potoatoes! ~Despina

My baby was gifted so many blankets, mostly handmade lovingly by special friends and family. All of them are different from each other in color and style.

I had the pleasure of hosting guests this past weekend—family I don’t get to see often, but always welcome the opportunity when it arises. We tend to get past what’s going on in our lives rather fluidly and start pondering broader subjects. Nothing topical—we never discussed the state of insanity that is the world at […]

June begins the summer season when kids go out and have magical times in the sunshine. Don’t forget to remind your kids about basic safety rules! Be safe and have fun everyone!!~Despina
