Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day if you are celebrating it in your corner of the world.
My kids celebrate me on the Swedish date, May 26th; but, I’m thinking of you — and my family abroad.
To Moms, daughters, sisters and friends, “you’ve got this.”
I’ve been thinking a lot about the everyday beauty of parenting — fundamental and foundational
small, passing moments — as I’ve used sprigs of heather from my front lawn to make this mother moment. The
process behind choosing one sprig or another flower; carefully looking for just the right tones —- shaking,
scattering flowers and moving them around, petal by petal — to find “just the right piece. ” This made me
think of parenting and of being a Mother. I’m thinking of you: doing your best with what you have in your own hands
to raise kids creatively every day in you own unique and beautiful ways. You’ve got this, Moms.
.
If there’s
one thing I know about parenting, it’s that there
are no instructions; just raw ingredients for each of us to combine these “petals + stems” creatively.
Wishing you the best today.

- 20+ Nature Projects to make with kids| I had a period of time where I worked painting portraits professionally but, I started creating these floral portraits with my kids. We’d collect and gather and just be creativity together — and sometimes, I just wanted to make them laugh. I think nature crafts are really fun because they usually mean side-by-side time with kids outdoors that then leads to connection through creativity. |HERE
