My Boy is Two

Two years (and 9 months) of being a mom and it’s true what they say, the time flies. But beyond the inconceivably fast passage of time is the unmeasurable micro-doses of joy in between the relentless work that is parenthood.

This year my boy’s birthday coincided with the unprecedented Los Angeles County wildfires. My little family, like thousands of others, were displaced (fortunately temporarily) and the anxiety of that experience is one I can’t quite describe. Despite that chaos we found time to celebrate in our own small, balloon filled way.
