Thank you ladies...
Last week, the lovely Alcira from The Nero Chronicles dubbed me a stylish blogger. And this week, the equally lovely Brandi from Flights Of Whimsy did the same. Ladies, thank you so much. We all like to be thought of as stylish and "up-and-coming" and your kind words and thoughtfulness mean so much to me.
The conditions for accepting this award are as follows: share seven things about yourself. Seven is a great number, don't you think? Here goes...
1) I love being a mom and a wife. Its pretty much the most awesome thing that has ever happened to me. I've got two great boys and a spectacular husband and they all rock.
2) I'm a birth doula, which means that I help women in labor. Most of my clients are trying to have a natural, intervention free birth and I am their support person. I have lots of training and am a certified massage therapist, which comes in handy when you're trying to keep a laboring mother as comfortable as possible. And I know this might seem a bit crazy, but to see a short slide show of my son, Charlie's awesome home birth, click HERE. Then click on the photography logo to start the photos Don't worry, its just a lovely tame water birth - no gore. It was photographed by Elizabeth Boyce. Turn on your volume for music by Ingrid Michaelson.
3) I really love mint chip ice cream.
4) I'm an actor.
5) I'm also a playwright. My most notable play is called Leni and its about the German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. Leni has had productions in Oakland CA, Portland OR, Seattle WA and New York City. Next up is a reading at Southern Methodist University in April. You can read past reviews about Leni in the Seattle Post Intelligencer and Seattle Weekly.
6) Cayucos, CA is one of my most favorite places on earth. I grew up near this magical place and spent all my summers on her shores. My husband proposed to me here. We also got married in Cayucos and had our first son's blessing in Cayucos. I'm headed there again at the end of February for Charlie's blessing.
7) I think interior design is a beautiful way of expressing who you are. The state of my home, on any given day, usually reflects the state of my mind, the state of my life and the state of my world. My home is always in flux and I have had more fun creating a space for me and my family than I ever thought possible. This blog is my daily meditation and continues to serve as my idea playground. Thank you so much for reading and commenting here at La Maison Boheme. And thank you to all of the amazing people who comprise the blogroll to the right. You are a constant source of inspiration and joy in my life.
Most of the bloggers whom I would pass this lovely award to have already received it from someone else. So, again I defer to the blogroll on the right. Go visit, explore and get excited about all of the possibilities that lie before you!
