finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Oh, well, hey there handsome fella! Words can’t quite describe how wonderful life is with you. You fill each day with smiles and giggles (a few tears on occasion too) and Jemma and I can’t get enough. Daddy too, but Jem and I are the ones who put in the long hours with you :) […]
Since welcoming Max into our family my shopping trips in town have seen a dramatic decline. Yes, I’m a bit cooped up, but I’m embracing this as my current season – one that I know I’ll look back on fondly. Being at home more I’ve had to increase my creativity when it comes to shopping.Thank […]
Back in the day I was a nanny for two sweet girls. Most days after school we found ourselves in the kitchen mixing up a treat.

Jemma “decorated” May 2013 of my planner and later fell in love with her birthday dot paints When I’m at home all day with the sweet bambinos I find myself saying interesting things. Things I wouldn’t have said 2 years ago when working in an office setting. This is the lingo of my new job. […]
I’ll admit, I have a little bit of a sweet tooth. I make it a habit to keep some type of dessert on hand, because in the evenings when all is quiet nothing satisfies like a morsel of chocolate. Or two morsels if I’m being completely honest. In order to save myself a little bit […]
Max’s dedication … blouse, c/o Choix | jeggings, Kohls | boots, Nordstrom Choix, French for choice. Life gives us so many. We make so many. Choice is a magnificent thing.
