11211 Love

New York, 2013

I was a little nervous about dipping back into the freelance life after nearly a year spent mainly in offices. It's not that I didn't want to be at home, it's more that I had just figured out what it felt like to be a working parent in a traditional sense, and I was worried that going back to a hodge podge arrangement at home would feel like limbo.

But after a couple of weeks, I can say that I'm thrilled. I've gotten some really fun assignments and have felt busy, but I've also gotten to spend more time with Axel, to explore the neighborhood, make the most of the gorgeous fall weather, and to do things for myself, like get back into prenatal yoga.

Yesterday I discovered this lovely little garden in the back of a new patisserie called Caprices by Sophie. It's one of those serene, unexpected spots that makes me love this city and our little corner of it so much.

Speaking of, I read this article, on leaving New York, and was glad that I hadn't.
