classic first and last day of school pictures. . . .today I wrote a letter to Tate: To my son, the day before senior kindergarten. I want to remember these little moments and to share them with him.❤️ . . .link to letter in profile (on blog). . .I like the idea of writing these letters to the kids each year. . . . .#backtoschool #parenting #mama #momofthree #writetoyourkids #keepsakes #family #love #milestones

it started with a handful of old photos found inside a vintage chocolate box. . . .my mother-in-law had brought them over. I was looking for family photos to include in a book I was writing for our kids. . .as I flipped through, I was immediately drawn to the ones with women together. Later I found out they were my husband’s grandmother, her sisters, and some friends (his gram was a spitfire - even in her 80s). . . .These pictures were mixed in with other photos that felt more formal and conservative. these felt carefree, fun, and somewhat rebellious. young women in the 1940s, before kids, having innocent fun together. I had to do something with them. . . .I designed them into postcards and created 5 Postcards, 5 Days. . .For 5 days in September (16th - 20th), join in as we write five postcards to five important women in our lives. buy your own set of 5 postcards for $12. and surprise a partner, spouse, mom, aunt, sister, friend, colleague, mentor... with some thoughtful mail 💌 . . .DM @verylainie for your set! . . . . .#5postcards5days #postcards #lovepaper #paperlover #paper #postcard #writing #writer #writersofinstagram #stationary #mail #lovemail #womenempoweringwomen #mama #momlife #toronto #diy #upcycle #maker #makersgonnamake #art #design

finished the quilted wall hanging for our house 😍 . . . .made with pieces to represent love and family. favourite baby onesies we tucked away because they had meaning to us. pieces of my Gram’s wool long underwear. copies of cards signed by loved ones now gone. photos from my family and Eric’s. drawings and paintings made by the kids. . . . .#quilt #quilter #sewing #sewingproject #art #design #maker #upcycle #reuse #makewithmeaning #mama #momlife #momofthree
