One week until moving day! I’m so glad we’re getting to enjoy these lilacs one last time. Over the ten years we’ve lived in our house, they’ve marked the time of year we throw open the windows and doors and breathe in spring. They’ve marked birthdays and celebrations of spring. They are my Mother’s Day flowers. When Theo was a baby, I have many memories of going out to the garden to cut lilacs. Taking time to arrange them was a small meditation in the day. I’ll miss these flowers when we move. 🤍

I am so, so happy to be back home with my sweet family. I love this house, and it will only be home for a few more weeks. There’s so much love and joy woven into the fabric of this home. So many milestones and firsts, celebrations and small moments. Soon, we’ll pass this house to another family to love. In the meantime, I’m reminiscing. 🤍

Currently en route to the Rome airport, starting the journey home to Elie and Theo.

I loved, loved spending time with dear friends this week and making new ones. But a week away from my sweet family is too long.

Belize highlight reel! Since we got home, everyon

Belize highlight reel!

Since we got home, everyone’s been asking me if we would recommend visiting Belize. I don’t feel like I can give a fair evaluation of the whole country, since we only stayed in one place, on the beach. @itzanabelize is stunning, and I loved waking up every morning watching the sunrise over the water. That resort also seemed to attract really wonderful people. Once of the highlights of the trip was the friends we made.

Placencia is charming in a very Belize way, and there’s more there than first meets the eye. Getting around by golf cart is the way to go, and made exploring so fun. The highlight of the trip was definitely our day on the water, fishing and snorkeling. Our guide @keem.cabelize was awesome, and took such good care of Theo. Theo was thrilled to catch two fish—one we grilled for lunch and one we took back to Itz’ana, where the chef prepared it for dinner.

If we return to Belize, I think we’d cruise on a catamaran, so we could do more snorkeling and visit more cayes (islands). It’s incredibly beautiful out there.
