The Bad Art Retreat is almost here. 🎨✨
I’ve been wandering the streets of Antigua, getting my bearrings for a new place, soaking in the colors, the cobblestones, the incredible old architecture, and, of course… completely falling in love with these giant, beautiful doors. 🚪😍
There’s something so inspiring about this city. It invites you to slow down, notice the details, create freely, and let your imagination wander.
In just a few days, our beautiful group of women will be here, and we’ll spend our time making art, sharing stories, finding inspiration around every corner, and creating memories together in one of the most magical places I know.
As we prepare to welcome our little girl into the world, these doorways have taken on a whole new meaning for me. They feel like portals—a beautiful reminder that pregnancy is its own sacred doorway, opening into motherhood, family, and an entirely new season of life. Every doorway seems to whisper, “Something beautiful is waiting on the other side.” 🤰🚪✨
We are so incredibly grateful for all of your love, encouragement, generosity, and support as we prepare for this next chapter. Every kind message, every gift, every contribution, and every bit of love you’ve sent our way has helped carry us here. Thank you for walking this journey with us. It truly means more than words can express. 💛
We can’t wait to share this adventure with you—the beautiful art we create, the laughter, the meaningful moments, our wonderful retreat ladies, and all of the little bits of magic that unfold along the way.
Now I need to know… should “Baby Bump & Beautiful Doors” become an official photo series? 🤰🚪✨ I can’t help but see these doorways as symbols of the incredible portal that brings new life into the world.
Let me know what you think in the comments! And stay tuned for lots more photos, artwork, live videos, behind-the-scenes moments, and plenty of magic from the retreat over the next few days.
Sending you all many blessings.
Love,
Erica, baby Theya, and me. 💛✨
