finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I know Mother’s Day was a good month or so ago, but I totally forgot about posting our annual interview. And, what’s a month late in the long run? Nothin’ absolutely nothin’! For Mother’s Day we went to the Pacific Science Center, but shortly after Mother’s Day I took the kids to the zoo. That was our just […]
Why is it that pregnancy cravings are always unattainable? I knew I was in trouble when I felt a hankering for Chuy’s Tres Leches Cake. Because Chuy’s is no where close to me. Like, when I searched, to see if a road trip was feasible, I discovered that the closest Chuy’s was almost 2,000 miles […]
Petunia dress c/o Paisley Raye, shop more Paisley Raye pretties here! Helloooooo third trimester! I can’t believe you’re back … again. I’m totally tired, feel GINORMOUS, and am oh so thankful that it rained again today. One more day I haven’t had to survive the sweltering summer heat — hallelujah! I keep thinking that […]
I spent all day yesterday thinking today was going to be Friday. Like, “Yay! Only one more day until the weekend!” And then, *boom* wake up and it’s only Thursday. Hmmmm. So now I have a whole extra day to fill and I think that’s going to include a Starbucks run, a post office drop, […]
Today’s post is sponsored by Baby Cubby. Cross my heart, I don’t mean to sound uppity, but when it comes to strollers … you get what you pay for. This, I know from experience. This, I have schooled Dominic on. And that says a lot seeing that he is Mr. Budget. Here’s the deal … invest in a […]
May was beautiful. In so many ways. It was the prime of my pregnancy – love that second trimester boost of energy. Had spurts of gorgeous weather – even if it wasn’t sunny, it was often clear. And, we’re all feeling settled as we acclimate to our new town. I mean, how could we not, with […]
I don’t read a ton, but I read a fair amount. These days half the books I read are holding a paperback and turning pages and the other half is hitting play and listening. That’s right … I’m an audiobook mama! I listen on the regular. Sometimes as I fall asleep. Often in the car (with this […]
Today’s post and giveaway is sponsored by Puro Sound Labs. I’ll be honest, until I connected with Puro Sound Labs, I didn’t know there were headphones with noise limiting capabilities. Had I, you can bet Max would have had a pair. Because this little music lover only believes in one volume — LOUD! Often enough you […]
Today’s fabulous mama fashion is sponsored by Pink Blush. The perfect place to shop whether you’re expecting or just on the prowl for summer pretties! Happy last day of May! Once June arrives it’s crazy town here, because I say hello to my third trimester! And that’s kind of surreal, because the third trimester leads […]
As a SAHM it’s super easy to get stuck in my own little world. For the most part, I’m healthy, my kids are healthy, and we’re living a pretty charmed life. But not everyone is. And God forbid, that might not always be our story. That’s one reason why I love social media. It really […]
Couldn’t have managed this organization project without our sponsor, Diono! Thank you for gifting our family with everything we needed to freshen things up in my mom mobile! Whether you’ve got a summer road trip on your mind or your car has been overrun by all things children, it’s probably time to empty everything out and start fresh. […]
