My Nana is in the hospital and people are taking care of her. The quality of her care is a matter of life and death. Her moments seem more important now that she’s here. I am mother. Now I know what it means to take care of someone twenty-four hours a day, seven days of [...]
Perhaps you think it’s been quiet around here because I’ve been blinded by the cuteness that is six month old Nila Bindu. And while we do spend countless moments adoring her and the infinite supply of joy she brings our family, we’ve actually been very busy doing something else. Something serious. Seriously amazing. We’ve been [...]
We start celebrating Christmas a full day early so we can share time with both sides of the family. This was “Meme’s Christmas Eve” and I’m living my life with my heart wide open. Everything seems that much more special and alive and this morning I realized why. For the first time our family feels [...]
It’s the darkest day of the year and the moon promises to eclipse for the first time on Solstice in 372 years. This matches what feels like a very special holiday season for us.

This shot perfectly sums up our present moment: transition. In the background you can see our bags, still not unpacked from our Thanksgiving road trip and yet [...]
We’ve been busy and more importantly, we’ve been happy. One of the reasons we bought this house is because it has this sweet little one bedroom apartment on the first floor. We saw lots of potential good use for this space (more on that later) and this past August, after our long term tenant moved [...]
I was cleaning up my desktop and found this little piece I wrote a few weeks after Ninu was born and wanted to share. Also, while I was away on my blogging sabbatical I was honored to be featured in the Fall issue of Rhythm of the Home. Enjoy. *** *** *** I Love You [...]
