Some time back, I was contacted by Annie from A Little Bundle about taking part in a bundle for new mothers curated by Amanda Jane Jones.

Amanda Jane Jones is a name I already knew well; she designed Kinfolk Magazine, for starters, and has also worked in collaboration with Artifact Uprising. She’s a freelance graphic designer and some of her personal work is my favorite; check out this and this. She’s innovative and unique, with an air of elegance that’s perhaps only matched by her gentle and genuine nature. To be recognized by her and chosen in a bundle curated by her, well, it goes without saying that I’m incredibly honored.

So what’s a bundle, you ask? Well, A Little Bundle works with many small businesses to offer unique bundles of items for both mother and baby. Each bundle consists of four or more items that are hand selected with special attention to detail.

A portrait of my family once a week, most weeks, in 2015

Willy: Tied for MVP at the bachelor party he attended in Austin last weekend. The person who returned to me resembled anything but an MVP.

Hooper: Pointed out that ‘P is for penis’; a celebration in sorts for tackling the ol’ alphabet but a defeat when you consider parenting styles, I suppose.

Van: Held up four fingers requesting four Mike & Ikes but when I asked him how many that was he said, “I dunno”. Made me want to go to my employer with my arms stretched out to my side and say, “I want this much of a raise”.

Me: Swallowed a little bit of Listerine during a failed attempt at multitasking; a reminder to self that you cannot sustain a good enough gurgle while attempting to return emails. Filed that under ‘regrets in life’ right behind accidentally using shampoo to clean my face instead of face wash… cuz’ that happened this week, too.

Jimmie: Hangs out with whoever is furthest from the front door. Allow me to translate: has major separation issues, still.
