📝 Blog Updates & Thoughts

The past month has been full in the best way. Our oldest daughter, our son‑in‑law, and two of our grandkids stayed with us for two weeks, dogs and all. The house felt alive, loud, busy, and overflowing with little footsteps, conversations, and the kind of everyday chaos you don’t realize you’ve missed until it’s right in front of you. Sleepy puppy We packed a lot into their visit. On the Fourth of July, we had a big get‑together with all of our children and grandchildren. It

Lately, I have been deep in the research phase of something that feels incredibly meaningful to me. I am exploring sensory and comfort items for Root and Rising, taking my time to learn, experiment, and understand what truly supports people on their inner work journeys. Nothing is rushed.

There’s been a lot unfolding, a lot growing, and a lot I’m still tending to quietly. I’m not quite ready to share all of it just yet, but I promise, when the time feels r

A little sneak peak of what I have been working on. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything here. Life has been chaotic, to say the least. 2025 was one hell of a rollercoaster, and somehow 2026 came in with a full-force slap to the fucking face. I haven’t been feeling great since New Year’s Eve.

There’s magic in creating with intention — and hearing what makes your heart light up helps me keep Root & Rising growing in all the right ways. ✨ Lately, my hands (and heart) have been busy — crafting new things for my shop, sketching ideas for what’s next, and daydreaming about all the possibilities still waiting to bloom. ✨ There’s something so magical about that creative spark, isn’t there? I’ve recently added a few new pieces that I’m really proud of — some soft marble-s
