artist — mother — create — love — laugh — pray

This is to be a quiet place for me. A well deserved 10 minutes for a mommy to gain clarity & perspective, perhaps discover how to manage this balancing act of mine? I've also decided this to be my creative voice so you will likely see art (& artists) I admire, recipes, inspirational quotes. Or even a nod to the latest gadget/child must-have? My joys & frustrations with parenthood, work & most anything else that goes on in my oh-so-glamorous life! I'm a stay at home mommy by day. At night I read bedtime stories. When I'm not busy cutting food into small pieces, I design.

prague five short years ago...


Tonight my mind wanders back to where I was this exact moment just five short years ago. One of the last big trips my beloved (and well-traveled!) mother, Karen, made before she got too sick. I definately have her travel bug and sense of adventure and was lucky enough to join her and one of her closest friends on a whirlwind trip to Eastern Europe April 2003. Prague, Warsaw & Krakow to be exact. To say we had fun is an extreme understatement and memories I will no doubt treasure the rest of my life. Especially since we had plans to travel so many more places together. I must say I was sad to leave Prague, it was so beautiful and full of historical, artistic and spiritual significance. Honestly, if it weren't for my friends and family, I could have easily lived "happily ever after" the rest of my life in Prague ... I will return someday.

Ok, can I go with you?? Sounds like such a fun trip, and what a wonderful person you got to experience it all with! I absolutely love Europe, I went to London for a semester in college, and got to go to a few countries, but I would love to see more :-) I have a bad travel bug too, i think its so fun to experience other cultures... its hard with little ones though....hope Gabrielle is feeling better today!
