finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood

Remember these fabulous shoes? Well, I survived my first week of work and still haven’t ordered them. You know why? Because I’m cheap. They aren’t available in the store and shipping is $10. That makes them $59. I’m holding out for a sale. Email me if you see them (or something similiar) for a bargain […]
My to-do list is getting so long it needs categories. But, instead of boring you with the projects and tasks that swirl in my mind. How about some good ol’ fashioned Jemma lovin’ … This week we’ve got lots of laundry on the radar. Snuggles too. Work for me and Daddy. Nanny fun for Jem. […]

Today we participated in our church’s parent/child dedication. It was a wonderful time to publicly share our commitment to raise Jemma in a Christian home and dedicate her to the Lord. Such a meaningful time for our little family! Thanks to our family and friends who were there to support us!

– I can’t wait to take Jemma to Disneyland. Why, you ask? Well, in addition to the wonderfulness of Main Street, princesses and fun rides I can’t wait to share “It’s a Small World”. It’s classic Disney and I know she is going to love it. We’ll sing the song many times I’m sure … […]
