finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
You know those weeks you where you start at zero? That’s me. I feel empty, just like my gas tank. Sad. I’m trying to accomplish alot this week. Too much I’m sure. We’ve been away from home the last two weekends and are gone again this coming weekend so I’ve got to fit things in […]
Q: What are the very best baby products? A: The ones that can be shared with the mama! For example, I love sharing Jem’s soaps and lotions. Even more, I love sharing her hair clips!

Who’s the cutest 5 month old? JEMMA! Thanks for the wonderful month stickers Sticky Bellies!
Jemma and I have a tiny obsession with Babushka dolls. When I was expecting I found an adorable onesie while thrifting that had a Babushka doll on it. Jemma wore it to her 2 week pediatrician appointment. From then on, I’ve been loving these little dolls for Jem. Of course, there aren’t many baby things […]
