This year allowed us to travel a little less than normal, spending more time at home and in our second home (in Ireland!).
We highly recommend starting off the new year and ending the old year with an amazing birthday bash! I had so much fun celebrating (despite in the end, having pneumonia and strep almost concurrently) my 40th with friends and family; I was so shocked at all of the faces, friendships and energy put into an event for me. What a memorable moment that will be so hard to top!
This Christmas we are looking forward to spending time with Natalie's family after we spent Thanksgiving with Mark's sister, family his parents and B!

2025 has been a nonstop series of "life with kids", leaving minimal time for project completion, but I have managed to tackle a few items off of my to-do list! In hopes of launching a business in 2026 (est. 2024), I've created an online children's consignment store called: Handpicked Children's Consignment. I truly enjoyed developing my logo (through a meaningful collab with a beautiful friend/graphic designer, Carmina). There is so much depth to it, but on the surface, I hope you connect with and enjoy it as much as we did working on it.
I must take the time to thank EVERYONE who has given me their thoughts, time, energy, latent inventory and support in order to get this far - really would not have happened without you! To get my launch updates on HCC and to be one of my first supporters (TYIA 🤗), you can connect with me here or just text me to be informed as the rollout takes place, see how you can offload some of your kids's inventory (accepting sizes 0 months -18 years old, maternity, toys and gear) in exchange for cash or how to purchase gently loved items for the littles in your life!
