Undercover Mama Review & Giveaway

In honor of World Breastfeeding Week I want to introduce you to one of my latest nursing discoveries: The Undercover Mama tank is a mix of a nursing bra and a nursing tank. This has been the perfect solution for me! Before Undercover Mama I always wore a nursing bra with a regular camisole (Nursing […]

July Goals: Week 3

July Goals – Week 1 – Week 2 It took me a bit to get this posted, because I wanted to include a picture of one of my fabulous crafts. I’m letting it go since my goal was to do these things … not necessarily blog about it in a timely manner :) CRAFT Create […]

Boobs & Babies

 Let me start with saying everyone’s breastfeeding experience is completely unique. Know that. Own that.   What I’m about to share is my experience. Yours shouldn’t be exactly like it because you are a different mama and you have a different baby. Dare I say a breastfeeding relationship is like a marriage – yours is […]

Smiling Big

I know I’ve been going on and on about Jemma’s teeth. But between the rough bedtimes, interrupted nights and pitiful moans of a hurting girlie I can’t help but show off how her teeth are progressing. They are peeking out more and more each day and now that the pain is gone she loves smiling […]

The Paper Mama Photo Challenge: Summertime

We are linking up with The Paper Mama Photo Challenge – the theme is SUMMERTIME. If this sweet picture of Jemma doesn’t scream “SUMMER”, I don’t know what does! Bare baby skin, saltwater sandals, and a simple wish that summer will last for awhile longer in the Pacific Northwest.

Gentle Discipline Phrases

Ah! Perfect! I ran across a list of useful phrases for gentle discipline. LOVE IT! Faves include: “What did you want to happen there?” “It looks like you’re feeling _____.” “Let’s take ten deep breaths together before we talk about this.” What are some of your favorite gentle discipline phrase?

Motherlove Review & Giveaway

Jemma and I had the pleasure to review  two fabulous Motherlove products. Check out what we tried and be sure to enter the giveaway! Throughout her bouts of teething Jemma has broken out in some booty redness. At night I lathered her up with the diaper rash & thrush ointment and by morning she was […]

Our Life: Instagrammed

The more mobile Jemma becomes the less time I have for quiet activities – also know as blogging. This is the season I’m in an rather than fight the constant go-go-go, I’m embracing it – camera in hand … On the rare occasion when she isn’t crawling and standing, Jemma still loves to be wrapped […]

Unique Little Jemma and Her Not-Yet Sibling

The name Jemma hasn’t been in the top 1,000 in the US … ever. Jemma did show in the top 1,000 for Canada, Australia and Scotland in the early 2000’s:   That’s right … we’ve got a hip little Canadian-Australia-Scottish girlie on our hands :) My hope for our future children is that we’ll stick […]

July Goals: Week 2

July Goals – Week 1 CRAFTCreate one new craft from start to finish I finished a crocheted lemon for Jemma’s kitchen play food and am almost done with an eggplant. I also started on a little project for a friend’s baby shower. I’m going above and beyond in this area this month for some reason. […]
