Healthy Fats

avocado illustration

I’ve been reading a lot about food. Not only for my personal health and well-being but I’ve been exploring the system in which our food becomes available to us, the sustainability, the types of diets and the morality of eating. Here’s an avocado. It’s the first food I’ve given to my infant. No, rice is […]

Goodbye Orange

Black Friday for me is when my fall decorations and my Christmas decorations can mingle for a couple of hours. Ha. I’m always excited to go from orange-centric to red and green-centric color scheme. ~Despina

Baby Blankets

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. Here she’s swaddled in a floral and laying on a blanket with cross stitched hearts. I like to think she’s surrounded by love at all times. ~Despina
