When you’re finally reunited with a soulmate you haven’t seen for awhile, sometimes a boat ride is just the thing to do. 💙 #toddlerlife #mamawitchandbabywitch #hehashereyes (at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk)

I never dreamed a #nobake cookie without sugar, without wheat, without dairy, could be so completely delicious and fulfilling. Thank you so much @minimalistbaker for this divine inspiration. 🧡 #plantwitch #plantbased #paleodessert (at Vallejo, California)

Brie goes to #pirateschool. Made her own unique pirate flag, swabbed the deck, walked the plank. Not pictured: swinging in a rope and playing with mermaids. A super sweet father’s day at the #piratefaire. 🏴 #vallejopiratefestival #northerncaliforniapiratefestival #mamawitchandbabywitch #toddlerlife #happyday (at Northern California Pirate Festival)

Harvesting the last of the June elder flower. According to the old wisdom ways, elderflower had to be picked before summer solstice for the full medicinal and magical potency, and to stay on the good side of the witches and the faeries. 💚 #localwitch #plantwitch #elderflower #wildplantbabe #plantlore #omgitsjunewitches (at Crockett, California)

In the throes of medicine making with my beloved #plantwitch community. Comfrey, borage, nettles, hawthorn, yarrow... this is the season in our bioregion for powerful plant medicine. 💚 #plantallies #witchesofinstagram #witchythings #herbalism 📸 : @seraphinacapranos (at Richmond, California)

It’s so tempting, so deceptive and enticing to want to go back to when she was just a tiny bundle of love, to dream of doing it all again with another baby, especially in moments like this when one of my close friends is about to feel the dear tender newness of a newborn, and the tiny rosebud mouth on her breast, and the overwhelming joy and intensity that comes with the smallness. But we cannot ever go back, and the truth is so much more complicated and challenging than our bittersweet memories of when they were so itty bitty. For me, the question of a second one is a question where time is of the essence, and yet, I know the answer has to come from some other place than looking back, reminiscing, romanticizing. And so even with the days and months and viable eggs ticking by, I sit in the question of it and treasure the opportunity to snuggle other mama’s teeny babes, as well as allowing in the full blazing sunshine of who Brie is now in her sassy, outspoken, creative toddlerhood. 🧡 #mamalife #mamawitchandbabywitch #doulalove (at Kentfield, California)
