Blogger Social in NYC with Rebecca from A Daily Something.

Blogger Social in NYC with Rebecca from A Daily Something.

I attended my first blogger’s social last weekend! It was hosted by the lovely Rebecca of A Daily Something, and designer/stylist Michelle Edgemont, at the breezy M. Wild Studio. There was food, drinks, door prizes, goody bags…and lots of creative, talented people to meet. I talked with the guest of honor, lifestyle blogger Victoria Hudgins of A Subtle Revelry, who was very sweet and excited about her weekend in the city. She is my new idol, as she has made quite a nice business of blogging (in two short years). And she has 3-yr old twins!

I took some photos with my iPhone 4S (somehow missing a photo-op with Victoria). Here’s what I experienced:

The beautiful studio filled with equally beautiful people / Rebecca’s enticing name tag station / Yummy bites by Kumquat Cupcakery / Invitation by Laura at Red Table Stationery / Waiting for the train on Track 3 / Grapefruit Basil Lemonade by The Stand in Brooklyn (so delicious!) / Momtrepreneur Erin and her sweet baby from Knot & Bow / Rebecca’s birthday serenade / Making new cards for Art Bar / A mini craft kit by Rebecca, found in the goody bag / Wendy and her son from Doodads & Noodles do exquisite work / Vintage openers from Patina Vintage Rentals

This was such a fun event! I feel inspired and energized and ready for Fall. I hope I can see some of these cool ladies again soon!

I have been thinking lately about so many big idea I have been thinking lately about so many big ideas. They seem to be stuck, though, in the cogs of my brain. I need to articulate and connect these ideas together, but I can’t find the right words, or medium. It feels like trudging through thick mud, and then making the choice to set up camp in the muddy place. Maybe this is always what motherhood + living a creative life will be. And I am ok with that, too. Life is mucky, and even though I crave clarity, I am also acutely aware that this is why I also crave art. Music, books, museums, film, gardens… these are the mediums humans turn to when they need to find connection and, if we are lucky, clarity. But I feel more protective of my human-centered ideas these days and less willing to share them in spaces like this where they are open source. I don’t even know what is real sometimes. And how am I contributing to this landscape of creative and intellectual robbery. I think I am headed in a different direction but I don’t know what that is yet. Meanwhile, I am camping in the mud and looking for beauty where I am. 

Some moments new and old, lately…

1. Painting at my easel, age 4 when we lived in England before moving to the US. 
2. I tried making a video of motherhood on mother’s day inspired by this song 🌙 but never finished. 
3. Planting dahlias 🌸
4. Year 2 of my veggie garden. It is not going well. 
5. We diagnosed our garden problem as not enough sun so cut down a tree to give the sun a little path but then the sun moved. Also failing at science 😳
6. When you see your habits in your children ❤️ 
7. My mom’s caretaker gave me a cake and now I am a whole year younger 🙏🏼
8. Thank you James for the treats, mom dreams of traveling to visit your bakery but this was the next best thing 🥐
9. Finding 50 bucks in jeans from 20 years ago 👏🏼 Always check the pockets!
10. The newly graduated makeup artist with her kit off to a job 💋 
11. When the birthday kid isn’t home it’s too sad. must make art. 
12. When I am so dumb and share it on the internet 🙃
13. My heart, my clarity ❤️
14. Another round of silkscreening! Things are happening. 
15. MUA by Ava, and hanging out with the help 😍
16. Reminder.
