finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Three cheers for my sisters and their educational accomplishments! Katie just graduated with her Masters in Education with a Middle School Science endorsement. It’s super hard to think that she’s all grown up and on the job market now. It seems just like yesterday that she was my little sister (she now towers over me)! […]
A crawling babe must be contained on occasion. But not for long! Jem doesn’t let me forget that she feels a bit “caged” when I set her in the crib! At least she smiles her sweet gummy grin :)
Jemma’s very favorite hair accessories are on sale right now! Visit Zuzii and find some fancies of your own, at checkout use the code Boss15 for 15% off. These are the things I’m spying for her summer wear :) Bow clips, bright Petal headband, aqua and creme
20 Little Toes was named for one of the owner’s twin boys – hence, she has 20 little toes running around much of the day! Too sweet! At this lovely shop you can find hair clips, headbands, leg warmers and hats – all with a sweet flair for fashion, fun and comfort. I love […]
We’re on our way north, but I wanted to give a shout out to all of my readers who commented on my discipline questions post. Your words gave me food for thought and I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in all this wondering! I ordered this book to continue my research and emailed […]
Having this little lady visit me at lunch everyday makes the work week much brighter! As is my norm, thinking about Thursdays (my Friday) makes me all giddy and chipper. I can’t wait for the weekend! We’re heading north to visit my family and celebrate my baby sister’s high school graduation. She’s quite the stud […]
This is gonna be a long one, so bear with me and chime in on my few questions at the end! We haven’t encountered any discipline issues yet. Jemma is only 8 months old, so I’m guessing that is fairly normal. But, in prepartion for that day I’ve been trying to learn more about what […]
I had a jam-packed weekend. So jam-packed there are no photos. I worked on Friday – not normal – so the weekend started off minus one day. On Saturday Dominic laid a lawn and Jem and I flew solo. We drove south to check out a new consignment store. Upon arrival we attacked the $1 […]
I’m loving the baby-led weaning Facebook group! It has such fabulous ideas for non-puree food options for little ones. Recently, they posted 100 Baby-Led Weaning Recipes and Jemma tried out Banana Berry Breakfast today. It was a hit! Banana Berry Breakfast Ingredients 1 small ripe banana 1 T blueberries 1-2 T baby oats Method Mash […]
We’ve got some BIG updates … Jemma is a crawler! She made her first move on her 8 month birthday eve (yes, we obviously celebrate the little things around here). See for yourself: Jemma is a signer! I wasn’t sure it was true when she first did it, but we’re a few weeks in and she […]
