finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Fall is really truly here! I broke out my rain boots this week and am so excited to be bundling up in long sleeves, vests, cardigans, and best of all scarves! You see, Fall is my favorite time of year – the weather, pumpkin spice lattes (and all other pumpkin treats too!), and my birthday […]
Yesterday we celebrated Jemma’s 2nd birthday! Words cannot quite express how blessed I feel to have such a happy, healthy girl as part of our family. Jem has grown so much in the last year and I’m immensely proud of who she is and who she is becoming. Daily, I praise the Lord for giving […]
Today the sweet Polly is here to share the best DIY! It’s totally on my to-do list for when we get settled in the new house … perhaps before! I’ve loved following Polly’s blog and witnessing the beauty she finds in the every day. It’s inspirational! Plus she does super blog design and homeschools her […]

Seeing that I have a postpartum body to dress this Fall I’m finding that accessories are my best friend. Boots, scarves, headbands, jewelery – they are making my world go round as I mix and match my few postpartum basics. To spice things up over the next few weeks I’ll be featuring some awesome scarves […]
Toddler Eats is a fun little series where I dive head first into the facts, figures, and tricks of feeding a toddler. I’ll also be including quite a few recipe ideas specifically for our little sweethearts – ranging from the baby-led weaning stage through preschool. If you have a recipe (with photos) you’d like to […]
Back in July I created a fancy little resume and sent it off to Baby Gizmo. They were hiring editors for their blog and I was super interested in becoming a regular writer. By the start of August I hadn’t heard anything and was feeling a bit down. You see, I didn’t start out blogging […]
