C & C

Christian and Cristina... I love them dearly.  This is my twin and his wife.  Bill and I got to spend a lot of time with them while we were in Maryland and it was great to sit and talk and be the adults we are growing into.  Hearing about Christian's new job and being around for Cristina's promotion made me wish I could be there for more of the big moments in their lives.  


Cristina has become such a good friend of mine.  She makes me laugh and gets excited about hilarious things - like funnel cake and puppies and babies and more than anything, weddings!  She has a contagious energy, and when she is in a good mood everyone around her knows and feels it.  She really tries to meet me where I am with no judgement. I love spending time with her and I wish I could do so more often.  She makes me laugh and cries with me and is such a wonderful addition to the Wecker clan.  

I love you Cristina!


Christian's wisdom is undeniable.  His span of knowledge amazes people on a consistent basis.  His listening skills amaze me and he always really hears what I am trying to say and responds with great advice.  I love that he is genuine.  His sense of humor is phenomenal.  He cares so much and wants people to feel comfortable.  We do share a twin bond that is hard to explain, but I sincerely love just being around him.  I am so proud to not just call him my brother, but to also be able to call him my womb-ie.

I miss you all the time Christian.  You inspire me.


Thank you guys for letting us stay with on our trip and for opening your home to us.  Thanks for making an effort to get to know Bill better and for being patient with our crazy schedule.  

Love you both :)

In the Nursery: Whole Hearted Parenting Manifesto

I recently finished a book by Brene Brown titled, DaringGreatly .  It really moved me, and I am definitely still processing it. At the beginning of the book I wasn’t resonating deeply with the topic of vulnerability, as most people will tell you I am an “open book”.  I will answer most questions without holding back and love to deep dive into good conversation.  However, what I came to realize through her many examples is that we all wrestle with vulnerability, guilt and shame throughout this book even if is more momentary than constant.  I gleaned SO MUCH from this book that I did not anticipate, and I thought I would share this Parenting Manifesto that she put right at the end of the book.  I am printing it and framing it for our nursery, as I think it communicates some deep parts of my heart cry for parenting my kiddos well. I hope this resonates with someone else as much as it did with me.   I needed these words to remind me that parenting is not a checklist,

A Penny For Your Thoughts - Looking Back & Missing Italy

 I took this my first day in Italy, and will always remember my town just like this... I realized something about my writing the other day, and that is that I am much more present in my writing than I am in my brain.   I am constantly thinking back, but I never write about my past.   Sure, I write a story here or there reminiscing on my African travel, but rarely do you hear about my life pre-California unless it is in reference to my family.   Lately, I have found myself pining for Italy.   Did you know I lived there?   Probably not, because I rarely mention it! I knew I was going to love it there, but it has stuck with me since the moment I left.   I have wanted to go back every   minute of every day since then.   The simplicity of life, the emphasis on slowing down, the architecture, the food, the flowers, the people, the color, the trains, the bikes, the gelato, the smiles and laughter, the wine, and the cities are only scratching the surface of things I love from the bea

At the Library - May through September 2019 Reading

We had another baby in May (SO much more on that later) and blogging has obviously taken a back seat, but I am still reading for pleasure and have managed, in my sons first four months of life, to complete these 8 books!  Y'all, I remember a time when even completing 2 books a year would have sincerely sounded daunting, much less with a newborn.  If you want to read more, you can find the time!  Take stock of your days and see where you are wasting hours.  For some of these, I listened to the audio book while I was pumping or watering the garden.   Rather than give you an individual breakdown of each of these books, I just want to report I found them all incredibly enjoyable.  A total cross section of a food memoir to a psychology deep dive to nature centric novels, I would recommend them all in different capacities.   We have fallen a bit behind on our Bible reading, but we WILL finish by the end of the year. You do not make it to September
