Welcome to The Edit—a collection of personal essays, observations, and photography about life as it is: beautiful, complicated, funny, occasionally messy, and always changing.
Each entry is an Edit, a closer look at something worth noticing. Friendship and family. Travel and home. Growing older and knowing ourselves better. The things we carry, the things we let go, and the small pleasures that make an ordinary day feel like something more.
Some Edits ask questions. Some tell stories. Others simply stop long enough to notice something I don't want to forget.
These stories may begin with me, but so much of what we feel, question, carry, and celebrate is shared. I hope you'll find something here that speaks to you, too.
THE EDIT
Edit 42: The Graduate
There are seasons of motherhood you recognize immediately while they are happening. And then there are the ones that only reveal themselves in tender, indelible fragments.
Edit 28: Roots and Reach
Two cities. Two seasons. One family shaped by both. A reflection on the places that don't just hold memories—they hold you.
Edit 22: When I’m Home
Returning home to New Orleans during Carnival season means familiar streets, family and friends around the table, and joy that lingers like beads at the bottom of your bag.
Edit 12: Twelfth Night
A New Orleanians reflection on Twelfth Night, Carnival’s beginning, and a season of color, celebration, and coming home.
