finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Sometimes the holidays put me into a bit of a conundrum. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the holidays, but I often feel torn between splurging/going crazy/beating down the Black Friday doors and focusing on the “reason for the season”/volunteering/blessing strangers. I know there is a happy medium, but getting there (and staying there) isn’t […]
Last Christmas we (as in the readers of That Mama Gretchen) raised $65 to purchase a share of a sheep through World Vision! I loved partnering with each of you to bless a family who truly needed our help, didn’t you? This year I have another fun project for to help us celebrate the season […]
Every week I share about my life over a Baby Gizmo. Sometimes it’s a review of a much-loved product, sometimes it’s a little DIY or a favorite recipe or collaboration of favorite things. On occasion it’s just an explosion of what’s on my mind. Whatever it is, I’d love for you to pop over, read […]

Today, my sweet boy, you are 100 hundred days old. I never thought I would have a boy and now, I can’t imagine my life without one. Without you. Thank you for the greatest 100 hundred days a Mama could ask for. It sounds too simple to say, “I love you”, but those are the […]

I had great expectations of photographing the whole scarf tour outside. Alas, daylight savings plus cloud tears had other ideas. Boo! I won’t pretend to hate though. Library photos aren’t a bad option. Did you catch my brilliant spin on words there? “Great Expectations” for my library shoot? I’m surprised my SAHM brain can still […]
Jemma and Max’s aunties have made it a tradition to sew them blankets when they are born. Aunt Hannah initially decorated Max’s baby shower with this fabric and before she left for college she whipped it up into this snuggly blanket. Max has developed quite the affinity for diaper only time while wrapped in minky […]
