Are you having a bad day? I just dare you to keep on being grumpy after seeing how Aveline feels about Mondays!

Yesterday, Aveline received a great little package in the mail from her great-great uncle and aunt back in Michigan. (Thank you!) I think it’s safe to say she’s smitten!

Gina (Oaxacaborn blog) and daughter Aveline

these are the best kind of evenings ever. josiah working on art. aveline and i just hanging out on the floor, happy as can be.

i love my life.

I'm Gina Munsey, a Jesus-lover and a sojourner; a weaver of words, anchored in hope. I am Mexico-born, Eastern Europe-raised missionary kid who ended up being a Californian by way of Florida outside of Nashville, Tennessee -- but we landed here before The Great Migration. I live my days full of coffee and adventures while my 12-year-old learns Mandarin Chinese and Greek, my 3-year-old uses all the markers, and my artist-husband creates worlds from pixels and light. I'm an editor, a magazine contributor, and a writer who has only completed four chapters of my languishing manuscript. On any given day, you can find me in the middle of [home]school surrounded by stacks and stacks of books. Oh, and the name of this blog? Oaxaca -- wuh-HA-kuh -- is in Southern Mexico, where I was born! (See full bio).
