finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m popping in today with a very friendly (and unsponsored, but affiliate) public service announcement. It’s about both saving and earning money and is plain ol’ awesome in my opinion. You with me? It’s really fabulous! Meet Ebates … Here’s the deal … I’ve been using Ebates for online shopping for about 2 years now. […]
“This post was sponsored by Starbucks as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received compensation and complimentary products to facilitate my review.” One of the hardest parts about welcoming a new baby into our family has been how torn I feel with my time. My heart didn’t have any trouble growing with […]
As soon as I found out I’d be having a little one towards the end of 2015 … or, as it turned out, the very beginning of 2016, I knew I wanted to skip Christmas cards. Actually, every year I want to skip them because 1) It’s a lot of work to gather and update […]
It’s not a secret that my Max struggles with food. Well, not all food, just healthy food. He loves chocolate and carbs. I guess he is like me … but with less self-control. Breakfasts are especially a struggle. He does like scrambled eggs, but honestly, we don’t always have time for a hot breakfast around […]
Early this Fall I was honored to jump on board with a really fun nursery design project inspired by classic nursery rhymes! I spilled my heart and shared my vision for Reid’s little nursery corner in our guest room/office and my designer for the project came up with the sweetest nursery inspiration! Don’t you just […]

There are words to describe it, but, well, my vocabulary isn’t really up to par these days. Pregnancy and postpartum have taken all the grown up words from me. I know, cry me […]
Once upon a time, I read that coconut water was good for you. I think it was in the context of birth fuel. Like, forget Gatorade and all its not great ingredients and opt for something more natural. Usually I’m a water girl. It’s my beverage of choice, the one healthy trait I seem to […]
Forever and always I’ve been a lover of Jamba Juice’s steel cut oats. Topped with brown sugar and banana slices, of course. When I was pregnant with Jemma I made Jamba a routine stop most mornings. And it added up. But, whatevs, I was a working lady … who was quite hungry! This pregnancy I found […]
Christmas Eve is tomorrow which means you must which up this recipe stat! It’s seriously the coziest breakfast to have ready to go (I recommend prepping the night before) for family gatherings and holidays. Honestly, just looking at it is making my mouth water while I check the pantry for ingredients! I first met French […]
Today is a day for memory lane. Walk with me … Back in our college days, Dominic and I were living in a school-sponsored apartment complex. Read, we used our student loans to pay rent; so convenient, so dumb. My front door faced his back porch in neighboring buildings and thanks to our interaction in a number […]
This summer our pastor spoke quite a bit about building community and being proactive in our lives beyond church. I’ll admit, I often find myself overwhelmed with my day to day duties as a mom and the idea of “building” and being “proactive” sounds like too big of a commitment for my schedule. Just the same, […]
