This piece was born from a quiet, golden moment: a midday pause with my two-year-old son, sharing a nectarine in the sun. He chattered beside me—his words mostly a mystery—but his joy, his presence, the warmth of that small act spoke volumes.
We were simply together.
 
And I found myself wishing I could hold that instant forever.
 
"Tell Me All Your Sweet Nothings" captures the fleeting sweetness of early motherhood—the tenderness of being present, of listening, of witnessing a child’s wonder unfold. The soft light, Mediterranean color palette, and gentle textures aim to preserve the kind of moment we too often let slip away.
 
Sitting here, eating this orange with you
I want to freeze this moment
The mist of the first peel
Listening to you chatter about your day
Telling me all about the sweet nothings
 
Watching you peel the orange
Into little bitty pieces 
Split it in half
Some for you
Some for me 
 
Such a little thing
But how sweet this little moment is
Because one day you’ll be too busy to tell me 
About your sweet nothings 
 
And I will just have my orange for company
