Hello there! I’m super excited to join in on Mandy’s High on Thrifting Thursday … even if I am a day late :) This last week my ma and I both did a little thrifting and we totally scored. Beautiful watercolor silk scarf – much like these! It is perfect for twirling and dancing. And […]
I’m just in love with this photo – it reminds me how small Jemma still is :) My sweet girlie, Seventeen months is terrifyingly close to 18 months which is actually 1 1/2 years. Oh my word. AND, only 5 months until you become a big sissy! Are you feeling excited? This last month you […]

When we were expecting Jemma I didn’t quite know how I was going to ease Dominic into the whole “natural birth” philosophy … luckily, there are a number of fabulous documentaries/movies that give a real life perspective plus statistics about the benefits of natural birth.

For our getaway gone bust I wrote a fun little hour-by-hour recap for Jemma’s auntie. Jemma shared many of her favorite things and gave a glimpse at her daily schedule. Here’s a peak into a day in the life of Jemma! 6:30-8:00 amYay! This is when I wake up every morning (as early at 6:30, […]
Jemmie has been super sick all week. She had all the signs of a bad cold – fever, cough, irritability, mama only snuggles, snotty nose, no appetite. And then the poor thing stopped having wet diapers so we marched over to our pediatrician yesterday and he ruled out anything super dangerous, but recommended that we […]
I think I wrote the first round of my 12 in 2012 the week before I found out I was expecting. In an effort to keep things true to my purpose – realistic goals – I’ve made a few modifications … Recipe Book – Complete my Tastebook this year, order it, and continue adding to […]
Awhile back I mentioned that we are looking for property to build a home. Nothing has changed, hence no updates … still looking. We’ve found a few promising pieces. We even put in an offer on one, but nothing has come through just right. So, we’re still on the hunt. It’s starting to become a […]
Jemma attended her first friend birthday party in February! It was a sparkle-themed party for a sweet 2-year-old and Jemma looked too cute in her sparkle shoes and hair bow … And, while we are at it, little about the mama too …On My Nightstand: I don’t have a nightstand :( Our rocking chair fits […]
