MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE 2024

As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is filled with gratitude for the beautiful roles I cherish: a mother to my wonderful son and a devoted dog mom to the family's loyal companion. Each day with them fills my life with love and joy, teaching me patience, compassion, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Reflecting on Mother Earth and Mother Nature, I'm reminded of their endless beauty and the invaluable lessons of strength and flexibility. Thank you for the lessons passed down from my own mother, my grandmother’s, and the lessons I learn from my son; I am so grateful and appreciate the wisdom and resilience that motherhood has taught me.

Luca & Buster - One of the best days ever!!

One thing is for sure: being a mother doesn’t come with a handbook. I am grateful for my continued growth, patience, and understanding, which never stops. Happy Mother’s Day, friends. Luca and Buster, I’m so grateful to be your mom.

May we celebrate this day with gratitude and grace.

stroll down memory lane - London, 2010

This is one of my all-time favorite photos of Luca and me (who is now 20) from one of our vacations in London after leaving the park, and London has the best parks; Derek took this photo on our way back to the hotel. Luca was and still is an excellent traveler, probably the best traveler ever… Looking back at photos literally melts my heart; I am thankful to be Luca’s mom. It’s been a joy I could have never imagined.
