it’s been a while since i’ve blogged. i admit…i’ve been BUSY. barely-functioning busy. when i get out of habits, it’s tough to get back into them. i’ll do my best to catch-up but have found that i do most of my daily posting on Instagram (@threesistersjewelry), which i love. i love the simplicity of using my phone to nab a memory. we just returned from a fun camping trip at doheny beach. we went with our huge group of friends and the kids created adventure after adventure. we ate yummy food, hung on the beach and played silly games around the campfire. it’s always fun and of course, always exhausting. but well worth it. the kids cry when we come home and are grumpy for the rest of the night. i guess that’s a sign of lots of fun. right?

i’ve had a lot of projects in the fire – a new website, a new blog, a new line, as well as a new business! lots on my plate but all so exciting. i love bits of change – i don’t like to be stagnant. moving forward gives me some sense of happiness. i’ve been snapping lots of pictures of things that inspire me…here are just a few…anything with history, emotion and depth …

for those that have read my blog before, you know that i love valentine’s day. valentine’s day was my mom’s birthday and it was always a cause for celebration in our house. i am either really happy on valentine’s day or very weepy, because i am missing my mom so much. she would have been 63 this year. so i try and keep myself very busy so i don’t end up crying on the couch all day. so i did just that this year. here are a few snapshots of my day – wearing something peppy, eating A LOT of chocolate, hanging with my family. i hope you had a good one!

i was talking with a dad at the soccer field the other day. like me, he has three daughters. his oldest is getting ready to leave for college. i asked him how he felt about it and this is what he said (very passionately):
“i’m not ready.”
“there is still so much to do together.”
“there is so much i wish i would have done.”
“i’m just not ready.”
stay small little brittsy.

i have small, little things sitting around my house.
to others they may seem insignificant, maybe even unnecessary.
to me, they are memories.
small tokens to remind me of who i am, where i came from and what centers me.
this is my grandfather’s spoon – his spoon while he served in the navy during world war two.
we use it daily, i look at often and reflect on the amazing life my grandfather led.

“i sleep more than the average bear” is one of my mottos. i love sleep. niels likes to say that i can actually “eat sleep.” it might be possible. a person of extremes – i am either going a zillion miles an hour or i am lounging and i just can’t get up. this was a weekend of fun snuggles with britt- two hours on the couch watching dora and max & ruby reruns. and a weekend of sleeping, sleeping and more sleeping. now that’s my kinda weekend!

there were a few things that i wasn’t quite prepared for (emotionally) when i became a parent. one was the extreme sense of timeless-love when i looked into my little daughter’s face. i was overwhelmed at how deeply i was in love with her. how was that even possible?! and then, one of the many others is how my heart would swell BEYOND belief during moments of being a proud mom. jette has been playing soccer since she was three. just a little pee-wee out there chasing the ball – i give niels full-credit for understanding what a significant role athletics play in a child’s life. now, seven years later jette is developing into quite the athlete and i couldn’t be prouder of her. she will try any new sport and her latest is la crosse. when i take a step back, look at my daughter and see what mighty accomplishments she has made for just being ten, i couldn’t be prouder.
