Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I write about life as an expat mother in Lisbon, Portugal.  Happy reading!

Little/Big Loves

I'd love for this blog to start with a bang, to wow and inspire immediately.  But it's after midnight and I'm still completely in the dark about how to even get content up, and I'm getting sleepy.  So I'll start with a beautiful image, thanks to Krysta Metcalf, a beautiful mom of two who we met in the park one Sunday evening.  We were the last two families left, and our kids instantly became friends.  Kyrsta and I struck up conversation, and after telling her were would be moving to Portugal in a matter of weeks, she offered to take family photos of us before leaving Milwaukee.  She offered up her talent as a pay-it-forward gesture, and we had a beautiful evening in her presence, moving throughout our house and yard to capture our last moments in the space where we started married life, brought home a dog, welcomed two babies, and ultimately decided we were ready for something different.  So this first post goes to Krysta and all of her brilliance and beauty.
