finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m guessing no one wants another post about how Jemma is growing up so fast and how I can hardly believe where the last 5 months has gone. Right? . So, instead, I’m going to share 5 special moments from the last 5 months. It seems a fitting thing to do since we are celebrating […]
This morning as I ran out the door I asked our nanny to give Jemma a bath today. A few hours later I got this precious picture and text … Dear Mom, I had a nice time at the jacuzzi and spa with my nanny. I got an oil rub and a makeover and now […]
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 created a new Pandora station to listen to at work. It’s based off of the song Lovers Carvings by Bibio. I first heard it on a commercial and love it. I’ll probably listen to it on repeat for a good week or two and then hate it. That’s how I roll. Anyways, I had […]
This is why work is so un-fun. Yes, un-fun. Leaving this smiling girl = un-fun. Good news is … this week is only a 3 day week! Things I am looking forward to: Off the Map is on tonight Baby snuggles every night Sewing with my mom this weekend Jemma’s baby dedication at church Yummy […]
Its been awhile since we checked in. I guess that’s what you get when a working mama gets a long weekend :) Here’s a bit of my smiling girl and our fun times! Lots of laundry, including our cloth diaper routine … this sign helps keep everyone on track in case someone needs to jump […]
– 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 … […]
