Woke up to a little Christmas magic — our family photo preview! These beauties are getting printed and framed. Thank you, , for capturing our growing family so beautifully. Mia just turned 6 months, and unfortunately for Dad… it’s becoming very clear she got my personality. 🤭✨

In true new-mom fashion, I steamed, organized, and packed two outfits for everyone… but managed to forget my own shoes. These truly are my Cinderella years and I’m embracing them. I want to remember every bit of it. 🫶

And yes, I know — one post a year from this account is on brand at this point. 😂
But I’ll be back in the new year to share the design project I’ve been quietly working on during this so-called “mat-leave.” Because let’s be honest… when you’re a business owner, are you ever really off?

I’ve been reflecting on how to stay connected with this design community while my babies are tiny and my business is in slow mode. Parenthood changed my priorities and I’m learning to grow with it. More on that soon.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous New Year! 🎄✨

Two weeks ago I gave birth to my baby girl! 🫶🤍✨

She came 4 days before her due date and caught me STILL working. 🤭

I really thought I could keep going until the last minute (the swollen ankles in these photos taken a couple of weeks before should have been a warning sign 🥹😆)

I had to cancel my last design meeting, but thankfully my clients and trades have been very graceful and we will restart in the fall.

On the meantime, we are getting ready for our first family photoshoot this weekend at with the talented who also captured these photos of me in the latest setups.

Quick birth summary: it was on a Sunday night. Contractions started at midnight and I laboured overnight alone in my living room until about 6am. At 7am I got into a warm bath seeking relief and my water broke. By the time we got to the hospital at 9am I was at 4.5cm dilated. An hour later I was at 8cm! They encouraged me to do all natural because I was progressing so quickly but I got scared and took the epidural which only half took, since it was so late in the process. However not being completely numbed helped me push soo much, we started at 12:55pm and after 9 mins of pushing she was born at 1:04pm on May 25 2025! 🫶✨🤍 it was fast and magical and I was able to bond with her immediately and walked on my own an hour later. We went home that same day since everything went so smoothly! Adjusting to life with 2 under 2 has been harder than my 2nd labour 😂🤭 wouldn’t change a thing!
