Life as a Doodle

Cuddling in bed each morning


Holding new babies


Reading lots of books


Doing art projects with friends


What have you been up to?

Potted Potter

This weekend Michael and I went to a special theatre performance called Potted Potter. In this parody two actors played all the parts as they told/acted out all 7 Harry Potter books in 70 minutes. So much fun!

Visiting Clifford

Toy Zoo hosted a special guest this weekend!

Birthday Wishes

Today is November 1, which is my darling husband Michael's birthday. He is one-of-a-kind, for I have never met anyone like him and I know I never will. I remember after first meeting him many moons ago I thought to myself, "I need this guy in my life, for he is so unique!"

He is ridiculously creative, sincerely dedicated, shamelessly energetic, genuinely funny, humorously opinionated, classically stylish, and holistically Michael. 

He loves me so perfectly, supports me in my passions, thinks of me constantly, and fills my life with joy,

He is a natural-born teacher, a gifted vocalist, an imaginative writer, an accomplished doodler, a superb event-planner, and most of all, he is the BEST daddy to Westly.

He has taken me on many adventures, has wooed me with many dates, has spoiled me with many presents, has enriched me with laughter, has challenged me in positive ways, and has provided for me immeasurably. 

I cannot imagine this world without Michael Shaw, and I cannot fathom my life without him. 

Happy Birthday, to my bosom friend and the love of my life!
