Walking through Central Park

Recently took a short but lovely trip to Connecticut and NYC. It was soooo inspiring. Nice to have a change a scenery every now and then.

I miss all the walking and didn't mind using the trains and subways. It was great not having to drive (or sit in traffic I should say). It was such a nice visit, and I'm already wanting to go back again!

hello baby!

Meet our little bundle of joy, Emily! She was born January 23rd of this year at the coolest hospital ever! (See photos below)

So here's the scoop on what I've been up to these past months...

My husband and I purchased our first home in November. We moved into our new home in December. And in January I gave birth to our first baby. Oh yeah, I illustrated a children's book during this time as well. More details on that later when it becomes available.

So for the past couple of months my time has been devoted to our little one. For anyone who has taken care of a newborn, you can understand why my blog is missing posts!

It's been a great year so far, and I'm totally enjoying my new role as a mom. I've taken a bit of a break but I look forward to posting again. This has been a very exciting and inspiring time in my life, and I anticipate more great things to come.
