I want to dedicate this drawing to Martin, and his fortunate brother and sister who now have another sibling to share their lives with, and …0ne more playmate!
The Pool (La poza)
For kids, summer is a time full of possibilities, a time to reunite with friends, to return to the known places, to try out what you didn’t have the courage to do the summer before. To walk alone in unknown streets for the first time, or jump into deep waters without knowing what’s below you…
Witch for a day
One day last week Olivia got to choose between dressing up as a super hero or a villain to go to school. She chose Kiki, the young witch apprentice from Kiki’s Delivery Service by the wonderful Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. When Tess saw she was taking an old broom with her, she could not have been more amazed at her older sister, she was going to fly!

This was inspired by a wonderful find in my phone’s photo gallery.
Me hide…
Chasing your kids in the morning when you want to get to school on time can be stressing …or very funny!
If they had super powers…
The other day we were talking about having super powers, Oli would choose to be a mermaid that can give life to anything she draws. We agreed that Tess’s power would be to win over any sea creature with her laugh.
Truth is hard to get sometimes… or not
Our dog Leo died a few days ago. His death has lead to many questions in our home, but for our happy little 3-year-old, something so sad is impossible to grasp. This drawing was inspired by some of these exchanges. For her, it’s just great that he’s gone out on his own.
3 year old’s Valentine
After signing 17 cards for her classmates…
Do you know why they make donuts this size?
A while ago when having donuts for breakfast, a rare treat for our girls, Olivia asked if she could have another one. “Do you know why they make donuts this size?” I answered, getting ready to give her a lecture on healthy portion sizes and so on, but her quick response left me laughing and with this image in my head…
– So they can fit in your mouth. – Said Olivia.
