finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Oh, darling girl … could you be any more precious? We took these pictures last weekend right before your bedtime. You light up for the camera and know just what to do :) Big smiles, silly faces and lots of personality! As soon as we walked inside you melted in tired tears and we snuggled […]
Earlier this week I mentioned the Bloggers for Birth Kits campaign going on at The Mommyhood Memos. This campaign helped me decide on the perfect Mother’s Day gift … For my 1st Mother’s Day, I treated myself with a priceless present – I bought 5 birth kits for mamas and babies in Papua New Guinea. Why? Because […]
42 months ago, Dominic and I started a long journey. It was October 2007 and we were newlyweds. We had just moved into our first apartment, put our honeymoon on my faithful(?) MasterCard and we were ready to live it up. We were DINKs (double income, no kids) and life was our oyster. […]
With a mix of vintage, re-purposed, and new materials Up All Night Studios has quite the flair for hip baby and toddler wear. I mean, check out this onesie! I also love these two tops from the Studio … Seriously, they are too sweet and fulfill many of my very important clothing preferences – quality […]
We aren’t even discussing night weaning yet, but when we do, I’m all over this book! A news break in research linking autism and vaccines. It’s important to remember there is alot of money being exchanged in the world of vaccine production and advertisement. I hate to be blunt, but do your research before you […]
These make me happy. It makes me even happier that I found them for only $10. I can’t wait for Jemma’s feet to be a size 4 :)
Sing with us now! Ok. Maybe not. But, anyways … these are a few of our favorite things of Jem’s first 6 months. I thought about waiting til her birthday to share our favorite things, but golly, babies change so darn fast and I’m sure what we love now will be old news by the […]

I’m a big fan of them! Can you beleive how little Jemmie used to be??? Some of my favorite features of Sadie Ryan tiles are: Display in […]
Here’s the recipe I promised! This Easter was my first holiday where I was in charge of the menu. My in-laws brought mashed potatoes, but other than that it was all me. This was also my first piece of meat that I’ve ever prepared. Well, in the sense of a piece of meat where you […]
The end is coming to my baby food making days. Jemma isn’t really a fan of pureed food yet. We’ve been greeted with lots of awful faces, spitting and pushing away, so we’re going to take a break from traditional baby food and go more the baby led weaning route (join this Facebook group for […]
Kickypants and MiLu Couture helped us celebrate a beautiful Easter weekend! Kickypants literally has the softest baby and toddler clothes. They are made of bamboo and although a bit pricier than our normal fare, they are absolutely worth it! Jemma has had a bout of sensitive skin and I always reach for her Kickypants clothes […]
