finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
To say the Sip + Swap I attended was fabulous is definitely an understatement! As we all parted ways on Saturday we decided that this Sip + Swap would be the first of many. We’re already planning for another round in June! Here’s the scoop on the event in case you want to host your […]
We will overcome by the blood of the LambAnd the word of our testimony, everyone overcome -Jeremy Camp We sang Overcome on Easter and I’ve had the lyrics running through my mind all week. It’s such a powerful reminder of what Easter is all about. And it’s true, the testimonies that come from Christ’s amazing […]
One / / / I try really hard to go to bed between 10-11pm. Max still wakes often to nurse/snuggle at night and is up for the day between 6-7am so having 8ish hours of rest is necessary to a happy day. My “bed time” doesn’t always happen, but I try. Like now, it’s […]
It’s a big weekend in our home – the end of March Madness – the Final Four. I’m at a Sip + Swap with Max (can’t wait to blog about this!) and Dominic and Jemma are having a Daddy Daughter Date in front of the game. They are noshing on crackers spread with cream cheese […]
Deals kind of make my heart go pitter patter. Target sales? Love ’em! Goodwill score? Bring it on! Twice (or sometimes thrice!) a year consignment sales? Ohmygoodnessgracious, YES! JBF Olympia held a winter sale this past November and boy, did I make out like a bandit. Here’s a peek at a few of my favorite […]

Have I mentioned that Dominic bought Project Life (the olive edition!) for me as my Christmas gift? It didn’t come out until January, then we moved in February and on the last day of March I finally opened it all up and started my first layout. I’m planning to do one spread each month to […]
Yes, she always dances with her eyes closed. It is one of those darling, endearing things about her. Mama loves you sweet girl. Never stop being YOU! P.S. Around the web I’m honoring Max’s namesake with an easy project and oooing and ahhhing over our Boba carrier – check out the links in your free […]
On Thursday, bloggers from around the world came together in a show of support for breastfeeding mothers. New mothers have enough challenges without having to feel guilty for how they feed their baby, especially when they are choosing the most natural of means – breastfeeding. Over the last few days there has been a […]
a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013 Jemma / / / Stare into my soul why don’t ya! Oh, and I started mixing some pureed carrots into Jem’s applesauce which is so adorably showcased on her face. Win! Max / / / It’s his first March Madness and KU game […]
Feeling / / / really happy + content amidst the boxes I haven’t unpacked and the to-do list that is growing. I think it helped that we spent the majority of yesterday outside … we visited the zoo! Dominic was laid off on Monday (boo!) so we were able to plan an unexpected family day […]
