finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
When my chunky little man was still in utero I ran across the perfect birth announcement for him. It was from Minted, of course, and the moment I saw it, I just knew. Seriously, as I hovered over the preview, I could imagine my little squish’s photo and I 100% fell in love. The gold foil, […]
Spring is on its way. Can you feel it? It’s still raining often in the Pacific Northwest, and when the nice weather comes, I miss it desperately. I’m a rain loving girl through and through. The pitter patter brings calm; the rhythm, peace. But these biting cold days are drawing to an end and that’s […]
One — Being a boy mom. I was borderline scared to have a son, let alone SONS, and somedays it still catches me off guard. At the end of the day though, when I hold these little wild ones, my heart brims with adoration. I cherish our constant time together now and anticipate the many […]
January was such a blur for me this year … newborns will do that to you, I suppose! I’m just now getting around to many of my annual traditions … ahem … and am happy to finally report that I’ve landed on a word of the year for 2016. Today. It’s my reminder to focus on the present. To be […]
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 […]
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 […]
Today, a tale of my attempt to leave the house for the second time with 3 young children. The first attempt, two weeks ago, landed us with a totaled car. The poor, unfortunate day, all I wanted to do was return a library book and buy a smoothie. Then we got rear ended. Boo. Such […]
Forever January will be a month of new beginnings for me. Everyone gets that vibe at the start of the year, I suppose, but it especially rings true for me since Reid arrived on January 1st. It’s just all so new and although I feel like I’m perpetually behind, it’s refreshing to turn the calendar […]

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 […]
One /// My iPhone 6 is totally my bestie. Easy peasy baby “portraits” in a flash! Two /// Reid was 11 days old when I took these photos, now he is 19 days old … WHAT?!? Three /// I just adore this boy. Our little line up of Jemma, Max, and Reid feels so perfect. […]
I scarcely remember what it was like to wake up with no real agenda. These days, before my eyes peel open I’m swimming in things to clean, clutter to attend to, work projects to accomplish, and meals to prepare. It is a joy and a burden, to feel that weight. To push my dreams aside […]
