finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
This week I’m diving head first into the facts, figures, and tricks of feeding a toddler. Not to mention quite a few ideas of what to feed those little sweethearts. I hope you’ll join me for all the installments of TODDLER EATS! – – – – – If I’ve learned anything from Jemma’s first year […]
Online book club? Say what? It’s true – I’m joining in the online book club hosted by Kincaid Parade and Wild and Precious. We’re reading Grace for the Good Girl, blogging about it every Thursday, and hashtaggin’ about it whenever we can. It’s a bit daunting for me to commit to a weekly post, let […]
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 […]

What do you do when the little ones are tucked in bed for the night? I quietly shriek a little because … IT’S MAMA TIME! Mama time is usually marked by a handful of activities – wrap up sewing projects, blog while watching Netflix, or grab a magazine and soak in the tub with my […]
Mr. Max … You make Mama’s heart swell with love, pride, and all thing good each and every day. You’ve started smiling from ear to ear (much more than your Sissy ever did) and we all love making funny faces and sounds at you to try and spark a grin. It isn’t very hard! You’re […]
Today is early. Just like yesterday. And the day before. You see, I’m a night owl and this is not my cup of tea. Rising before the sun, choosing to embrace the day, filling sippies, and changing diapers. Last night I was up until midnight. I could have kept going; I was on a role […]
Anticipating … a quiet day ahead of me! Jemma is on a mini vacation with her Daddy and grandparents and Max and I are at home chillaxing. Yep, chillaxing :) That’s code for watching Pretty Little Liars, blogging, and napping. Buying … Christmas gifts! I finally decided on a play kitchen for Jemma – my […]
