"My husband tragically lost his mother in the Champlain Towers last summer. The picture I chose is of my husband as a teen with his mom. She loved to walk and in more recent years had trained for and hiked El Camino de Santiago in Spain. In her honor, my husband takes many walks with a weighted backpack. It has helped him process and grieve his loss. I want to gift him this lapel so he can ca…
Last week my family and I, along with some of our dearest friends, camped in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) for four nights. It's wild there.

People do this often, actually. And the reasons vary from, "I'm pregnant with my third and will want to add…
Something new, something square and small but not tiny. Something of a namesake legend, after my mother, the woman who mothered me, birthed me, connected beyond it all, transcendent of this form, of differences in spirit and belief, style and design.
