finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Let me start off by saying that my house does not always looks like this. Actually, quite rarely. Most days Rody is galloping in the middle of the living room and Noah’s Ark and the accompanying animals are waiting to trip you. Most mornings Max is busy building a tower in front of the slide […]
Pop, pop, popchips! The’yre the fab sponsor of today’s post and I’m super happy to have partnered with them! In a roundabout way, popchips gave me a fence! Read on, my friends, you’ll see what I mean. Becoming a homeowner whilst living on a single income means one thing – delayed gratification. It’s a good […]
Hey friends, today’s post is of the sponsored variety … featuring the one and only BLACK+DECKER and their fab Pivot Vac. I think it’s pretty neat-o and I hope you do too! And, as I’ve chatted before, it makes me smile and is super helpful when you engage in these posts – plusalso, there’s a giveaway to be […]
Would you look at this? The school room reveal I’ve been alluding too! Ever since we decided to begin homeschool preschool in January I’ve been eager to have a designated place for our craft and workbook time. We flip flopped our former upstairs office and downstairs play room and now, the traditional bonus/media room is […]
It was a Monday morning and I glanced at my to do list … start painting … I read. Uh, I’m always one for planning DIYs and never quite getting around to them, but today, today was going to be my day. Especially since we’d lived with this Goodwill find for a year now. Plusalso, […]

I truly believe it is essential that a mama take care of herself in order to effectively and meaningfully care for her family. Can […]
Honored. That’s how I felt when Ashley asked me to contribute to the Overcome the Lie blog tour this month. Mostly because it’s not something I truly feel worthy of, because it’s a daily battle to overcome these little lies. But that’s why I’m sharing, because overcoming lies is an ongoing journey and one […]
Last year I just wanted to feel settled. We had moved twice and Max was still a newbie. I was tired and worn and needed the year to be calm; restorative. Thankfully, it was. Here’s the best of 2013. I’m extremely hopeful for this upcoming year. I love making lists and organizing my thought; planning […]
I’m sure I’ll say this every year, but this Christmas season has been magical. Jemma’s excitement has warmed all of our hearts and we can’t wait for this evening when we bake Jesus’ birthday cake and exchange gifts. I wish I could mail you all a Christmas card, because truly, you’re all friends and […]
You thought I was done with my back to school posts, huh? Well, It’s only week two and like I chronicled the other day, this is my first year actually experiencing back to school season as a mama, so I’m a bit excited about it all :) Well, excited and overwhelmed. Our daily schedule […]

It stores all our cloth napkins, tablecloths, candles and Jemma’s playdough – you know, all the important stuff in life. Pop over and check it out! And if it […]
