first thanksgiving

November 25, 2010 in Baby, Family, NaBloPoMo, Pictures by Tristina | 1 comment

I will put up so much more later, but I wanted to post because today is my baby girl’s very first Thanksgiving [ever].

And there were 857 million people at my in-laws’ house.

She was unphased…

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all.

I hope you had a special one.

inspiration

November 18, 2010 in Family, NaBloPoMo, Pictures by Tristina | 2 comments

i find inspiration in the small things

the happy things

the simple things

like how any fabric will make a fine pillow

or a happy, swirly dress

how art supplies from the fine to the childish make me smile

or how my cookbooks send my mind racing of ways i can “modify” and “experiment”

like how soulful brown eyes inspire me to be the mom he thinks i am

or how pictures of memories inspire me to continue fighting for the life i’ve always envisioned

a simple etched glass window adds a bit of flair

a daddy who’s fiercely protective of something so small

and a something so small growing into something so unique right before my eyes

this is my inspiration

my reminders

my smiles

my heart

pat pat pat

[pat pat pat] on my face

little hands

i open my eyes

[briefly]

and see a little face, pushed up from her belly, lips split in a wide grin when she sees my eyes open

[she smiles like her daddy ... eyes crinkling so much they disappear]

i close my eyes again, content to drift back to sleep

and feel a shuffle

and a flump

and warmth

[pat pat pat]

her face is closer

rolling over to be

[right here]

i can smell her little baby breath

and feel her little baby hands on my face

wake up, mama

one day, she’ll crawl to me

one day, she’ll run to me

one day, she’ll actually say

[wake up, mama]

until then

baby hands

baby rolls

shufflings

and flump

[pat pat pat]
