And I went for a fairy night in San Francisco

How it all started: I love listening to, Alex, my son (4) talking about his dreams, his likes and dislikes, and what he wants to become when he grows up. I would love to record our conversations, to remember all the details, to freeze his sweetness in time so that I can go back to it every time I want. He is growing and changing too fast.

To keep these memories I have decided to create a special illustration for him every year showing his favorite dream at that age.

​

It took me some time to come out with the right story for this special duo from San Francisco, Matan loves superheros and firefighters while Orel loves French-Spanish songs.
It has been so hot here these last few days that I thought the green mouse of Sourir Verte and cow Lola would have not said no to a cool shower!

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Matan & Orel.

I am so looking forward to the weekend!
Planning to keep my laptop shut and hopefully we'll enjoy some rain on Sunday. Around 40 C here today, way too hot for the San Francisco girl in me.

Ari, let me love you a little more.

Ari's mom wrote me asking to draw a special moment she shared with her daughter. When in Hawai, one morning they woke up early and they went down to the beach. They held hands, cuddled, looked for patterns in the sky and they were absolutely in awe of how much they loved each other. 

Ari's mom asked to include also a mermaid (Ari's favorite!) 

Here is what I drew for them .

Ari, let me love you a little more.

Wishing this new parents all the best and sending ton of love to the four of them.

Alessandro and I can't wait to meet the new additions .💕

If you dream it you can do it! the vulcanoligist.

This is Jasper, a 4 years old from San Francisco, California .
I was fascinated by what his mom wrote in her submission message and I knew I had to draw Jasper dream! I hope he will enjoy my interpretation of him :)

" When you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he responds by saying "I am going to be a famous volcanologist who will help save people's lives!"
I can't remember exactly how/when this interest started, but he is obsessed, and surprisingly quite knowledgeable. Most conversations we have go back to volcanoes. He'll start by talking about lava and magma and tephra, and then continue by talking about the ring of fire and tectonic plates, and if you really get him going, he will talk about the calibrian arc, all the different types of volcanoes (e.g.stratovolcanoes, mud volcanoes, ice volcanoes, etc), the structure of volcanoes (e.g. craters, calderas, side vents, etc) and chemosynthesis and photosynthesis. I have learned so much from him! The other day at Karate, the instructor mentioned something about saving your energy for class, and Jasper responds "Ok, let's talk about kinetic and potential energy!"

Home is where the heart is.

Home is where heart is!

We are celebrating my baby (the big baby!) birthday today but we are also celebrating 10 years together. Since we met in London exactly ten years ago, just before his 30th birthday !

Baby, you are my love, my man, and my home :)

Home is where ever we are together. And just while we are packing the home where we became a family I am so excited to create our new home in our next adventure.

 Happy birthday to you!

Home is where the heart is.

If you dream it, you can do it! Thomas meet Baby shark!

This is Ezra’s dream. Ezra is 2 years old and he has just been promoted to Big Brother. He loves playing with trains, especially Thomas the Tank Engine. His mom says that he plays with imaginary trains wherever he goes. His favorite song is Baby shark and he loves dancing! He would like to become an engineer, like his dad. Ezra, his baby sister, and his parents live in Orlando, Florida. If you dream it, you can do it.

How it all started.I love listening to, Alex, my son (who will turn 4 soon) talking about his dreams, his likes and dislikes, and what he wants to become when he grows up. I would love to record our conversations, to remember all the details, to freeze his sweetness in time so that I can go back to it every time I want. He is growing and changing too fast. To keep those memories, I have decided to create a special illustration of Alex every year. The theme for these illustrations is his favorite dream at that age. Research shows that surrounding kids with illustrations, colors, and artwork that is accessible boosts their creativity. Our thoughts attract people, things and events to our lives. Illustrating our kids wildest dream will make them work harder to make those dreams come true. This is a great encouragement for children to chase their dreams.  THE PROJECT:  I have asked my friends and community to share your children's dreams. I have been blown away by how many people took the time to write to me. Choosing the one to draw has been very difficult with so many sweet and unique stories! I would like to show the diversity of our community and the creativity of the kids. I am excited to hear new ideas. TO PARTICIPATE:  1. Subscribe to my website  https://www.lauradallagata.com 2. Drop me a message if you would like to be part of this initiative. write me here  And please share my website with your friends who might like the idea behind the project, or who could be interested in my work.  My Etsy shop will  be closed for the summer!
