This was just one of those wonderful-for-no-special-reason weekends. We just did and were if that makes any sense. Doing the things that currently make us us, and living in the moment enjoying the togetherness that is our family. It started with the new camera lens the Mr. got on Friday…pictures were plenty and so far we’re...
My name is Michele OBrien and I have three incredible children: Ruby, 12; Penelope, 7 & Lincoln 3. Two of my lovely babies have a genetic disorder called Fragile X Syndrome. Fragile X affects about 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 6,000 females born each year; these numbers are approximate since it’s assumed that...
This Art-a-Thon wasn’t as smooth and as flow-y as past art-a-thon’s have been. I didn’t prepare mentally as well for this one and I struggled through it. Part of the issue is that 2 of these paintings are from a previous project that I started and never finished (any of my friends who I emailed...
When you hear about San Antonio, you hear about the River Walk. I’ve read that it’s Texas’ most popular attraction. See it’s a River, and you can walk along either side of it. Thus, River Walk. Until recently I thought the River Walk only encompassed this small, hustle-y bustle-y part of downtown that was flanked...
It’s here. The heat is here. It’s been in the 90’s this past week and it looks like it’s only going to get hotter from here on out. You know what I say? Bring it, San Antonio. Bring it. OK, I’m kinda scared. I can’t believe summer is almost upon us. I think we’re going...

A couple weeks ago I asked you guys for new music recommendations. As usual I picked a starting point and went from there…only I didn’t get very far. I decided to start with the Alabama Shakes and I have not moved on past this band. They are the real deal. And it seems like these...

Let's be friends!
yeah, being a mother is pretty amazing.
my oldest is going into first grade this fall- so all day, too. i had a hard time anticipating kindergarten, but now i'm worried about the all day, so i feel you. but for all my worry, it was an easier transition than i expected. it helps for you to be busy with sibling(s), and she'll love it!
You managed to capture all the feelings in my own heart and put them into words… every word resonated. We should catch up again soon- this made me miss you and long for a good conversation.
I have been meaning to write about Bloom! how neat that you were featured on her blog.
what a lovely weekend!
Your family is adorable! That last picture is just beautiful. The love and happiness shines through. And I LOVE what you said about the teeny tiny parts we leave out when building the excitement around starting Kindergarten! So true!
i read kelle and came here from her. i also celebrate mothers day by making it a day that we do what the kids want, and i give them breakfast in bed and cards and flowers and stuff. my mother did it for me, my grandmother did it for her. it makes for a perfect day for me as well!
