{brilliant beats} california soul by marlena shaw

June 30, 2011

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nnA9x4VNiY] I'm back in Cali for a week and I'm feeling gooooood. Marlena Shaw, thank you for this groovy tune.

This time two years ago at NYNow. The first Trade Show for the both of us, four months before @portofraleigh opened. I remember feeling so nervous and excited to be there - a total newbie. I also remember meeting up with Joe about every two hours to nurse Hazel, either at the lounge or back at the hotel. He traveled with us just so I could actually get work done AND feed Hazel (I couldn't pump enough to leave milk at home for three days). The shop has been a family effort since day one and it's such a trip to have moments like today with Hazel riding her bike inside of it (slide to see next pic). #growingtogether 💗💗💗

My mom brought me these flowers last night when she came to be with Hazel. Her actions constantly remind me of the powerful role we have as parents to show and nurture love and kindness with our littles. Not just within the family but with everyone in our community, local and global. Hope your Friday and weekend includes the people, places, and things that fill your heart and lift you up.

Got the vintage tropical print kicks ... now I just need a short sleeve button-up with this bird textile design by @ericagimsondesign. Fun day shooting @portofraleigh
