Hey Reader – Happy Tuesday! I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that we're at the start of the holiday season... but, here we are! Seeing as how it's mid-November already, I'm excited to finally share with you that my 2026 calendars are now available. Yay! This year's calendar is filled with drawings and paintings created inside my sketchbooks, to take you through the darker days of winter, through the fresh energy of spring, the ripeness of summer, the mellowing of the fall, and then back into the magic of the moody dark. Here are a few of my favorite pages: The calendar measures 11x16.5" and has a metal coil-bound hanger. It's printed in vibrant, full-color on 100 lb cover stock and is made with FSC/FESC-certified papers and local production to minimize environmental impact. Each calendar is printed to order and shipped directly from the manufacturer. If you're a paper calendar kind of person, this one will add some lovely color to your wall all year long, with a new illustration to light up your walls each month. Calendars make great gifts, too! If you're starting to think about holiday gifts for the people you love (including your very own self!) like I am, here are some other fun gift-y things that the creative, soulful people in your life might love to receive this year! That's all I've got for today! Short and sweet. LET'S BE FRIENDS ON IG!

Hi hi hi! How is it already July?! We spent some time swimming in a river over the weekend with friends, and I feel like this is just a quintessential summer photo, you know? Sun! Water! Swimming! Happy kids! I also feel like it's a photo that reminds me of how easy it is to see someone else's photo and construct an entire story around it from the little slice of info we've got – just one photo. My kids had a great time at the river, and I did, too... sort-of. What you can't see in this photo...
