Meet That Mama | Kate from Nesting Elm

i am a wife to ryan and mama to our daughter eden. we moved from texas to pennsylvania in the last year and just celebrated our daughters first birthday!

i am newer to the blogging world, but love the outlet it gives me to share about our adventures and the things that way heavily on my heart.

i love sharing about our life and tackling the hard stuff.

i am a natural birth mama who cloth diapers, extended breastfeeds, co-sleeps/bed-share, baby-wears, and a non-vaxing mama.

i pray that i encourage and inspire those around me to be confident in who they are and in their abilities!

Favorite words … courage, inspire, and delight

One goal you hope to complete in the next year … i would love to finally finish just ONE photo album! ha!

A recent favorite mama moment … a couple nights ago, our daughter Eden would NOT go to bed. she was up and down, talking up a storm and just when i was at the end of my rope she leans down and kisses me. full on, arms around me, slobber, and then looks me in the eyes says, “abbah, dada mamaamama, ooooh, abbbaaaaa!” and then proceeds to turn back around to start talking again. it reminded me of how she probably sees me during the day, running around like a crazy person and then spontaneously just grabbing her and kissing her all over. it warmed me heart so much and reminded me that what i do everyday with her is so important! these are the photos i got of that night.

New favorite blogs … casey wiegand (i have loved her from the moment i started reading her blogs. so heartfelt!) and jacquelyn over at little owl crunchy momma (her adventures in elimination communication are so inspiring to me!)
  
Guilty pleasure … books. comedy/mystery/drama romantic novels are the best! they get me to relax!! 

Your perfect day … waking up with my daughter and hubs and laying in bed, letting her crawl all over us. then a warm fall day. the leaves changing and a walk to a park or the zoo. we love the giraffes! a warm drink in hand and lots of cuddles and hand-holding. then bath time with eden. putting her to bed and hubby and i cuddling together to watch a movie and end up talking all night, like we used too when we first got married… i have to admit, we have had a couple perfect days so far this year!

Favorite baby product … i LOVE my ring sling! it is a must have! as well as our boba!!! i can nurse in it. cook in it. walk around the store in it. and to see eden’s face light up when she sees her sling come out… priceless!

Favorite Bible verse … right now these are the verses that speak to my heart and remind me of truth. “she is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future”-proverbs 31:25 “her mouth speaks from that which fills her heart” luke 6:45

 Three things on your to-do list … 

• start posting regularly 
• start ec-ing. (elimination communication)
• re-paint my fingernails… they are AWFUL! ;)

… Oh so many ways to follow along …
