A late but perfectly chaotic Halloween camera roll dump recap with two of our all time fav humans. @natspencer 👻🔮🏴‍☠️🩰☕️🦁 (how epic is the pirate costume Ellia put together from my closet with a hat from our costume bin?! And Aunty Natty came to the rescue, making Luna‘s ballerina cappuccino costume!!!) Also…I hope my sister doesn’t kill me for that last clip.😆

Lu’s first time being a guest at a baby shower was lovely once she realized there would not be actual babies joyfully falling from the sky🫠. ⁣We baked and decorated some cute cookies in celebration of her soon to be new bestie!
⁣
@jillian_vinge We ran out of time to make a card, but Luna wanted to say “dear Jill, call me when the baby comes out, Thanks. From Luna.” 😆

I’m thrilled to be teaming up again with @westcoastseeds to celebrate the season of abundance! 🍂 In my new article, I share a peek at how I hosted this harvest feast here on Pender Island - a thrifted table piled with sunflowers, dahlias and freshly harvested veg, a potluck of seasonal dishes, and of course - dessert (aka the most scrumptious zucchini cake recipe of all time). 🌿 Read the full story on West Coast Seeds, and follow along here @mercedespapalia for more of the island enchantment behind Evermore House. 🌻

Autism isn’t a political debate, It’s my most tender reality. ⁣ I wrote this song in response to Dr. Steve - Who diagnosed Luna with autism as if it were a terminal illness, despite me clearly communicating my joy and acceptance of being gifted a child on the spectrum. ⁣ ⁣ I thought I wrote it for myself, but after witnessing the most horrific and cruel comments since the misinformed “announcement” currently being used to distract and further divide humans - I see that it’s so much more.⁣ ⁣ It’s for the guy who responded “sorry your family is ret*rded” in response to me sharing my experience of learning I’m autistic after six years of autism education inspired by the many similarities between me and my daughter.⁣ ⁣ It’s for the mothers who are being made to believe we did something wrong, causing our children to be born wrong.⁣ ⁣ It’s for the families pressured to “cure” the very thing that makes us who we are.⁣ ⁣ Maybe it’s even for the endlessly misrepresented, devalued, and silenced autism community.⁣ ⁣ I don’t want a cure. I want support. I want a nap. I want a world that understands what it means to share space with autistic people - with love, patience, and humanity.⁣ ⁣ If you need a moment to exhale into tenderness, the full song, Glass Figurines, is linked in my bio.⁣
