Our next door neighbors Craig and Vivienne (also sweet friends of ours) had a beautiful baby girl this week named Valentina. When I got home yesterday I laughed to find they had left a pink nylon bag hanging from the door filled with earplugs.

Hi, I’m Andrea

On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.

As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.

    hehe, that’s funny. i’ve heard of people giving something like that to the new parents, but that is so funny for the parents to give. fun.
    i also like the name a lot. pretty in an unusual way.

    Very clever gift!
    Friends of mine had a baby girl recently and after the first night when she basically cried the whole time their neighbours gave them a baby tshirt that read:”When I’m awake nobody is allowed to sleep”.
    I’ve read your blog for such a long time now and love your pictures. What I discovered: All your friends (and neighbours) are scaringly goodlooking! Maybe it’s your talent that makes them so attractive. I hope it is. 😉
