finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I have a confession to make – I can’t swim. I took swim lessons and learned like everyone else when I was in grade school, but then I pretty much forgot. So, if you tossed me in a body of water I’m pretty sure I would sink. Part of it is mental. I don’t like […]

Leah had a little boy last September (and yes, brother, and her son are destined to be best friends), and she is all about finding […]
I almost hate writing this because thrifting is so freakin’ fabulous. But let me tell you, when Value Village tries to charge me $8.99 for a maternity shirt from 2003 I have to shake my head and wait around for 50% off holiday Monday. Feel me? I mean, if it is really super cool, I […]

Darbi is a dear friend of mine. She was actually one of my most favorite babysitters back in the day :) We grew up at the same church and her parents were my godparents. I pretty much love Darbi and her family to bits! Ten years ago, Darbi gave birth to her first child, a […]
