OUT TO SCHOOL: 30

True's got one week left of school. She's homeschooled, but takes enrichment classes one day a week. I can't believe how fast the school year has flown by.

I like drawing. If I had the time, I could doodle all day. My dream job was to be animator and illustrate characters. Somehow that got lost in the shuffle somewhere and I became a teacher. I loved being a teacher too. I would also love to be a graphic designer and I randomly like to make little poems. When I lived in London with the BFF, I was making rhymes for everything and BFF would call me Toula Seuss. Toula because I had crazy hair (and glasses) like the girl from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Seuss because I made rhymes all the time.  There are too many things I like to do. Ben says I have way too many hobbies.

on true: dress, vintage. socks, target. shoes, salt-waters c/o tea collection.

  3. Aloha To You and Your Little Red,

    I love the... well, everything about this post. I took our sweet boys to an ancient Hawaiian fishpond and watched the light filter through the trees, and now reading your post I'm wondering if there might be a Little Red or a Big Bad something lurking in the brush-- what great adventures await off the beaten path.

    xoxo,
    Nicole

  10. :) I just read through this list of posts... trying to get caught up! Lots of good things happening there and True looks beautiful as usual. I want that dress!! Your floors look gorgeous. I love white and whenever I need the affirmation that it's a good choice, I just look at your home. I'm also suffering shoe envy now! My sister and I will be a thousand miles apart and still pick out the same shoes or purse... gotta love sisters!

  12. I wanted to be an animator too :) the entire time growing up, i wanted to draw for disney! i guess my art path took a slight turn and lead me towards digital design instead haha.

  13. How cute! I was always the same way, drawing and designing and then kind of got distracted :) Are you planning on homeschooling next year too? We also homeschooled this year and have just decided we will continue for next year.
