finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
It may be in the 80s this week, but I’ve got my mind on Fall. So much so that before the day warms up I’ve been sipping cozy beverages. But not just plain ol’ coffee, something much, much better. Think on this for a minute … SILK SOY. LAVENDER. MOCHA. Yes, oh yes. I promise […]
Jemma is almost 4 and sometimes I fear that she believes her food comes from the refrigerator. And it does. But a lot leads up to the fridge. Amiright? So, with our recent beef purchase and preschool appropriate conversation of how it came to be in our freezer, I decided it was high time we […]
Oh VIVA and Walmart, a high five and big thank you for my few moment’s of peace. By sponsoring this post (and having such a fab product) it may just become tradition for me to sip my morning coffee in peace! I’ve got homeschooling on the brain – majorly. It’s all I pin, it’s all […]

So, your little one is having a birthday! Are you excited? Stressed? Reminiscent? I’m usually all of the above – excited for a celebration in honor of one of my most favorite people, stressed about the planning and execution of a party, and reminiscent about their actual birth day. Yeah, that last one always gets […]
I had no idea what to name this post … “How to Butcher a Quarter Cow”, “Ground Beef and Everything Else”, “Fill Your Freezer With a Happy Cow” … well, you see what I landed on. Either way, this post is all about beef cuts and what to expect if you ever purchase a quarter […]
This post and the play date I attended were both sponsored by Tree Top. It was an honor to join in the fun and I’m excited to share with you about the details! #TreeTopPlayDate On Tuesday, Heather invited the munchkins and I to a super fun playdate with the Tree Top gang. We met up […]
If you’re anything like me, sometimes it is so freakin’ overwhelming to wake up in the morning with 64,000 chores calling your name. Lately, I’ve been breaking things into more manageable bites and have seen a wee bit more success and organization ’round these parts. Wee, as in a little. But in order to encourage […]
When the internet hands you lemons, you say “Yes! Please! This mama loves her some lemons!” and thank the sweet sponsor who sent those lemons your way :) I’m 5 runs into my 5K training. This is big you guys, really big. Because I hate to sweat and I hate to run, and yet, it’s […]
