finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
It’s Labor Day Weekend annnnnnnd, guess who is NOT in labor? ^^^ This girl ^^^ I’m “celebrating” … I think. One, because I’m not due until Friday. So, it’s not like I actually expected to be in labor. In fact, I’ve gone a few days late with every baby so I’m fully expecting a 41 […]
When we moved during my first trimester I gave up hopes of having a nursery for this new baby. Maybe I was being dramatic and emotional (I was). Maybe I was lamenting the fact that we have been on the move for the entirety of my birthing years (We have). Maybe I just really want […]
We think we have found property to build on! A quaint little acre with trees and a peek at the port. Everything is so “maybe” with it all … until it’s not, I guess. Which is exactly why Dominic is begging me to be just hesitantly excited. But I can’t help it. I’M EXCITED! We’ve been […]
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 […]
I’ve got our summer bucket list on my mind! Is yours brewing yet? I do realize we’re only a few weeks into spring and I should really focus on embracing this season. And not rush. Especially because once summer arrives … it’s baby season around here! But, since the sun has peeked out here and there, I […]
If I tried to recount all the lesson my Mom has taught me in the last 30 years I’d have to write a book. Or a volume of books. Maybe I’d roll it into a mini series. She’s that full of wisdom and the greatest asset to my motherhood journey. For starters, she taught me […]
You know how some families have really specific traditions? Yeah, we’re not one of them. We’re more random. There is no Friday night pizza here or donuts before church every Sunday. In fact, we’re about to get real crazy and switch things up with Saturday night church. I don’t even bathe the kids on a […]

For History Jemma and I have been working through The Story of the World. I can’t recommend this series enough, especially the adjoining Activity Book that is full of supplemental ideas and book recommendations. We’ve alternated a week of reading with a week of activities which has led us up to studying the Jewish People […]
Twice a year my heart starts to beat a little faster and my wish list (on behalf of my kids) grows a bit longer. Can you guess why? It’s because the Just Between Friends Consignment Sale is comin’ to town! And I say “comin’ to town” because JBF is practically a version of Santa! Just Between Friends […]
