The saguaros have started to bloom, and you’d better believe I’m watching that tiny arm at the end every day to see when it opens. It may be the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. 🌵🌼
I’m planning on spending the summer right here—in my dream backyard, the heat soaking into my bones. 🌵🌞 As we’ve been renovating our adobe home over the past year and a half, I’ve been dreaming of slow hot days that embrace a pause in time.

For a year and a half, Rich and I have been pouring our hearts into breathing new life into our adobe dream home. Here’s a magical little sanctuary we’ve created for our girls—their own mermaid bath cave.🚿✨
In this home, where every brick was shaped by hand from earth itself, it only felt appropriate to include our own handcrafted touches into its restoration. There’s a special kind of magic in creating alongside Rich and his dad as our designs and dreams transform into reality. (Swipe through to the end to see where we started)
It’s been just about ten years since we traded sirens for coyote howls—for wide open horizons that have held and continue to hold endless evolving dreams, for land that’s dotted with stones in the colors that have always felt like home.
The @hobotheoriginal maggie bag feels right at home here too with leather dotted with its own turquoise colored stones, ready for whatever adventure is next.

This adobe renovation has been slow as we use our hands to transform this space that will hold our girls with warmth and tradition. Someday I hope they say “mom and dad tiled this counter together, grampy made this table, and our sink is made with the sand and stone from around our home”. Natural materials and attention to design… but with purpose. We’re creating this home for the long haul.
A couple of months back I was invited to be a part of @hobotheoriginal ’s spring photoshoot and came away inspired by the strong female team and founder and their quality over quantity mindset; a mindset that I hope to instill with our girls. I was able to keep their tooled Sheila bag as a memento—a bag that I immediately fell in love with for its vintage quality. A beautiful and functional heritage piece intertwined with memory and tradition like an old family photo. Timeless warmth. ✨

(We know these types of announcements can be hard to see. After trying for several years for our first we felt the same. Please know you are not alone if you are feeling this way. Sending love to those in all stages of parenthood).
