Often times you hear or see your friends bear children and completely lose sight of themselves as people, as a couple and as individuals. Jason and I aim to seek a middle ground between the three. Our belief is that if you cannot be yourself, respect yourself, and/or indulge yourself completely into the lives of your children - then what do you ultimately have to give/teach your child before, during, and after they have moved into and out of your house?
Jason and I closed our Etsy shop, One Square Tree, since my first trimester really put me in a bind since sales continued to skyrocket and I did not want to jeopardize our reputation, the quality of our goods, or upset our clients. In lieu, Jason will be opening an Etsy store in the very near future featuring his original artwork on prints, paper goods, home goods, and clothing.
Owl Souvenirs, our music project, is set to deliver a re-release of our ep, WISH YOU LUCK- GO GO GO, this winter featuring a couple of new songs, new artwork, and your old faves. In the meantime, as I nest, Jason is also working hard on a concept album dedicated to our family - similar to WISH YOU LUCK, which celebrated our relationship and the birth and growth of it; however, this time celebrating our growth of our family tree and the new roles we are about to embrace.
As for myself, I will continue to work with the United Nations after birth and maternity leave. I strive to teach our child not just about current affairs and the power of one and many, but also about self-respect (both emotionally and physically) through a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
As you can see, Jason and I hope to embrace ourselves by setting an example for our child through the things we love; namely, Jason through his arts and music and myself through knowledge (and the importance of continuing to learn throughout life) and personal experiences (past, present, and future).
Well, we'll try our best.
Wish us luck!
xoxo
