finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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!

Technically our anniversary isn’t until August, but you know what else is coming in August … yep, that means no romantic getaway. Unless we bring along a wee little one as a stowaway :) Dominic and I decided to celebrate early with a stay in downtown Portland! We had some fun plans and although things […]
This is real life. Messy kitchen – no one to take pictures – pajamas. But we are safe, happy, healthy, and at home. Those things are all wonderful. How big is baby? As big as an avocado – must be why we are having Mexican for dinner :) Weight gain/loss? I’m up about 3-5 pounds, […]
Have you discovered Citrus Lane? Jemma and I had the chance to review a box of goodies from Citrus Lane and I was over-the-top thrilled with what we received! A luscious lotion, interactive book, yummy snack, and diaper bag necessity. Everything was splendid, but my very favorite item was the Innobaby Din Din Smart Stainless […]
