finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.discoverbeautywithin.com/. It’s not every day I dress up. Back in my working mama days I considered almost every day a special event – a day to pull together my shiz, […]
71. Boots and sandals are my favorites shoes. Everything else is … meh. 72. We placed an offer on a piece of property this week! AH! Praying everything goes smooth and we can start building soon! 73. Before I had Jemma I thought alot about getting my Ph.D. in Strategic Leadership. Now, more school is […]
I’m brimming with excitement … WE HAVE LAND FOR OUR HOUSE! Here’s how it happened. I posted awhile back about how I was getting discouraged about not finding property. A good friend saw my post and told me that a piece of property across the street from her house in a lovely little neighborhood had […]
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. Dominic was game for a movie night and because of […]
61. Did you notice that I changed my sponsor’s buttons on the right into 2 columns? Yeah, that took some html work and I’m so happy that I figured it out on my own. I’ll share a tutorial soon! 62. In college I donated platelets for money. It’s a legit thing in Oregon and I […]
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.
