finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Hey Mamas … The schedule of pregnancy just called and told you it’s time to begin your baby registry! Where do you turn? Do you grab the scanner at Target or begin shopping online? Do you head out the door to check out your local options or perhaps you turn to Etsy for unique treasures? […]
Happy 4th of July folks! We’re celebrating as a BIG family (in-laws and my family), lounging at the parade, eating good grub, and of course, taking in the fireworks. It’s gonna be swell and I’m sure I’ll have awesome pictures to share later :) But, until then, I wanted to share about our most recent […]
Hey there sweet girl :) I snapped this picture on Father’s Day and Daddy and I both have it as the main picture on our phones now. Your sweet smile makes us both so happy! This was also the day that you ate a piece of pizza all by yourself – pepperoni, sausage, and cashews. […]
