finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Happy Fall, friends! We’re totally relishing in the season right now. I love the rain. Jem loves the leaves and cooler weather accessorizing opportunities. Max hates having to put on real clothes, naturally. Jem is thriving at Pre-K, Max has zero interest in potty training and is only somewhat entertaining us with transitioning to his bunk […]
I’ve been keeping a little secret for quite some while now and today is the day to fill you all in on the details! In celebration of my sweet little baby who’s currently baking away third trimester style I’ve partnered with 10 amazing shops and companies to give one of you a bevy of amazing products and […]
If you hate Fall. Please, just go away. Fall is the most magical kind of year and I just love and adore it! As Jemma says, “You’re just a Fall girl, Mama!” And it’s true :) Above, we’ve got my latest pumpkin love, Pumpkin Smash from Jamba Juice. And below, just a little this + […]
Back when I decided to read 12 books this year I thought I was hitting the ball outta the park when it comes to making realistic goals. I mean, I was a mom of two when midnight struck on December 31, 2014, I had hopes of getting pregnant in the coming year and my freelance […]

We made it to Friday, friends! Such a victory for me these days. This Friday is extra special though because after my daily nap I’m heading out to coffee with a friend and then dinner with another! It’s sunny and an iced decaf followed by potato pizza drizzled with truffle oil seems massively in order. […]
I’ve got lots of love for these mamas. But even more love for the products that have been born out of their creativity! Cross my heart, you’ll love them all too! MADRE BEADS I was lucky enough to join Lacy and her venture at Madre Beads as an ambassador. It’s been so fun to get […]
We’re all on the young adult fiction train, correct? It’s one train I don’t plan to ever get off of anytime soon. I’m pretty sure I’ll be 80 years old and traipsing my way into the bookstore to find the latest and greatest teen novels :) It started with Twilight, then Hunger Games and Divergent […]
Spring Break has arrived and with that new porch plants, room swaps (my nemesis and constant companion) and a busy, busy, super busy week! My calendar looked at me and rolled its eyes. I told it to suck it up. What does it expect? For me to be on a beach somewhere? That was so […]
Folks. My days, I’m guessing like yours, are really quite boring. There are many, many special little bits that make them awesome, but for the most part … they’re just normal. And I’m learning, normal is grand. Weeks, when I look at my calendar and see nothing. I smile. That has been this week. […]
