finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
picture credit Having a little munchkin makes me look at the world in a whole new way. I’m more conscientious of the TV we watch (Dominic’s Jersey Shore), foods we eat (the occasional McNugget) and things we say (you know, those less-than-ladylike words I might utter every so now and again). I’m definitely not striving […]
Daddy has taught Jem how to properly relax on the couch …totally chill and kicked back! Jemma and Daddy had some hang out time while I ran errands this afternoon. I nursed her, popped in Baby Einstein and wished them luck. In the 2 hours I was gone I only got one phone call – […]
Megan at Sorta Crunchy is chalk full of thoughtful posts on relevant topics for today’s parents. I love all her resources and will definitely be visiting frequently!

Between my months of cloth diaper research and the 3 months of cloth diaper reality, Jemma and I have learned a thing or two about the wonders and mishaps of cloth diapering. One of these days I’ll […]

Idea from Spearmint Baby & Mom’s Crafty Space I can’t wait to make these sweet crayon holders for Jemma and her friends someday! Yes, that means you Miss Olivia and little Patton :)
Another month has flown by – MONTH 3! Jemma has developed such a personality; she cracks us up all the time. Whether it be her sweet smiles, goofy looks or stinky toots we are falling in love with this girl each and every day. Miss J found her hands this month and is constantly chewing […]
Ok, ok … I know it’s 2011, but I’m still feeling so reminiscent of last year. I mean, I HAD A BABY in 2010. Last year will be special in my heart forever. I absolutely adore being Jemma’s mama. Gosh darn, I cry at everything. Like now … just thinking about my little sweetness. God […]
