finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Last week we told the kids about our upcoming Disneyland trip! I planned a quick scavenger hunt with clues that led them these “You Are Going To Disneyland” certificates. It was a hit! Jemma freaked. Like rolling on the ground screaming. We even saw some happy tears! And, in true Max form, he rolled his […]
Nine times out of ten I dress in a form of leisurewear – flowy tops or tanks, leggings, zip ups, vests, sweaters, joggers – the sort of thing that can be easily layered. I think the fashion mags are calling it “athleisure”, a mix of leisure and athletics. Whether it’s a trend or not, rest assured that […]
I’M THIRTY!!! The big 3-0! Today was a normal, hum-drum day. That’s what happens when you’re a mama and your birthday falls on a weekday :) The kids and I ate maple glazed old fashioned donuts as a treat for breakfast and Jem and I shared one of the new Pumpkin Spice bottled Frappuccino. When […]
Did you see the live video of my thredUP unboxing? Jemma stayed true to her word and wore the gold Cherokee dress for her birthday yesterday. It was too darling! And, the fact that it was just $8.99 (64 % off retail) made it all the more perfect! I wouldn’t be surprised if it pops […]
Wait, you thought that just because Jemma and I are homeschooling that we’d be lounging in our pajamas everyday? Nope! Not even close! This mom teacher and brand new Kindergartener are ready to start the year in style! Well, maybe we won’t be THIS fancy everyday … I’m sure on our true home days we’ll be […]
Feast your eyes on the final four. So similar, and yet, so very unique. I cannot for the life me decide. And my indecision is *almost* leading me to scrap my heart’s decision for a pair of fashion meets function cutout booties for this fall. GASP! But, I’m not giving up yet. I’m bringing it […]
It’s no secret that I love Lily Jade. These bags are truly the most versatile of any mom purse out there and recently my best friend, Leah, humored me with a photo shoot to show you just how versatile Lily Jade bags can be. You see, Leah is a teacher who is also a mom. So, her […]
During early access I both ordered online (because, hello, 6% cash back thanks to eBates!) and popped into the store. My oh my, Nordstrom has delivered. Once again. Of course. I’ve seen a few favorites round ups from fellow bloggers and decided that my blog has been lacking in the style category lately and thus, a […]
It stinks having one of your sisters live far away. It’s like part of your heart, part of your history, is absent. Thank goodness unlimited texting came into the world, because I would have a crazy high phone bill every month if not for that upgrade! I don’t my girl, Hannah, being away one bit and regularly […]
I received complimentary product from Orvis for this review. Happy final day of March, friends! Can you believe it’s already the 31st? March has been that in between season where I’m half running indoors to sip cocoa and snuggle under the blankets and half racing outside to embrace the bits of sun that are peeking out. Oh, […]
“This post is sponsored by TRESemmé, a product of Unilever, as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.” Friends, today, we’re talking hair care! It’s one of those simple and necessary to dos in a mom’s life and although I rock a top knot more often than not, I feel 100% more pulled […]
