I enjoy hearing the wind in the trees, but the skyline of a big city makes my heart race. Here I write about the contrasting chapters of my life. Design. Marriage. Motherhood. Adoption. Africa. Artwork. Housework. Playing. Stripes. Polka Dots. Simple. Funky. I stay at home with our three kids and do graphic design on the side. I like to paint simple artwork and am inspired by nature, mid-century modern stuff, pinterest.com and Orla Keily's designs.
