the season of celebrating life

---

​once upon
a time

i pushed
a little big soul
out of my body

my life
forever changed
in birthing
my baby
i birthed myself

and here
we are today
i've got a
sweet + strong
tween
on my hands
whose spirit
is thankfully
much the same
as the day
i birthed him
in my bathroom
nearly a decade ago

---

and thus begins
our holiday season
actually it starts
with halloween
and ends
with new years

one big joyous holiday
after another
like today
celebrating
phoenix's 10th bday
with family + friends
{picture above}

it's an expensive 
juggling game
of all our fav things
that i simultaneously
absolutely
love + adore
while also
every year leaves
my questioning
how is it all
going to happen

how am i going
to love the moments
creating simple
FUN + MAGIC
this season
without 
all the madness

how to instill
the values of:
* giving is receiving
* homemade gifts
* quiet introspection
* time in winter nature
* genuine holiness
* the spirit of peace
on earth + goodwill to all

amidst the crazy consumer
madness + pressure of the
holiday season
