Emile is seven today. Seven! A lucky number. A lucky boy. A lucky family.
It seems like every moment of every day I am praying to become a better parent. More than anything in my life, I want to do right by my [...]
We were lying in the hammock, my two littles and myself, trying not to fall off. I said, “look at that big tree. It’s so tall and proud. It loves being a tree. It doesn’t need to be anything but a tree.”
Emile said, “but it can be someone’s home! Or something to play [...]
If we waited for the rain to slow, we’d miss out on a lot. And if we waited for the sun to shine, we’d miss out on even more. Staying inside only feeds the grudge against the flatness of the gray sky. I’ve found there’s no better [...]
I recently posted on Facebook:
Being a work at home parent might mean late nights and early mornings, but it also means afternoon baths.
Who doesn’t love a bath? Luxurious and lovely, widely available in Western homes, yet so easily replaced with showers. Certainly we can’t find time in [...]

In my datebook this week: Yoga, Seattle [...]
There’s so much about this photo that explains Giovanna that I had to share it. The flower girl dress, the snow boots and the nursing baby doll. And perhaps the mirror, too. It’s impossible to be bored with this girl at my side.

Giovanna said, immediately, “it’s so sunny outside, mama!”
This was not a form of two year old sarcasm, this was sincere delight in the light [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I have a hard time finding balance. Balancing the needs of my soul (writing, socializing, yoga), my body (exercising, juicing, eating well), my family (my husband & two children) and my business (Herbal Philosophy Teas). Which is why I don’t get around to this blog very [...]
(The weird hanging things are cheese-cloth spider webs that looked better in real life. Thank you, Martha.)
When I remember that this is only the beginning of my [...]
My name is Lucy Miller Robinson and my blog is a love letter to the bohemian spirit. I am a mother, a writer and a creator. I love books, nature, art, music, yoga, slow food and maybe you.
