finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m so thankful for my iPhone’s video option … capturing priceless moments even if they aren’t the best quality. The first video is Jemma’s first on-camera laugh; the second is her recent “conversation” with her Daddy. Her sweetness just oozes! I love this girlie :)
First things first … discount websites are going to get me in trouble. Sometimes I just can’t resist cute things like this playsuit from Totsy. Adorable, right? Melton Begonia Baby Jumpsuit We have been using disposable 7th Generation dipes at night and this week we ran out. Instead of rushing to the store and plopping […]
I’m so very excited to share with you about our latest endeavor … Every few weeks I’ll be sharing about something lovely from an amazing Etsy shop. Then, you’ll have a chance to enter a giveaway from that shop! Fabulous, right? The first spotlight will be up soon so be on the look out! If […]
In early September I became a bit overzealous and created a 25 before 25 list. This was before a baby, plans to return to work and all that comes along with the busy life of a wife/mama. I make no promises I will accomplish even 1/2 of these things, but in an attempt to try, […]
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! This afternoon I found these 2 articles … definitely worth a read: Why We’ll Skip the Flu Shot (again) and What We’ll Do Instead On Vaccinations and Moving […]
Many days I grab my trusty iPhone and snap pictures of Jemma on the go. Here’s the latest: Visiting Pops at work Christmas Cutie Grocery shopping with Mama Slumber Princess Jemma loves exploring new restaurants Up, up and away! Oh no! Jemma got made in the bed Hello friends! Trying out the adventure position in […]
I adore reading The Heir to Blair. She is so real and makes my life as a new mom seem normal. Whatever normal means … anyways, take a moment and read this. My favorite part is … I’m like, “Yeah. What the hell do you think about?” Does your mind do this? Run on and […]
Jemma and I are getting ready for my transition back to work next month (sad face). With this comes some bottle drama. We introduced a bottle to her around 5 weeks and she seemed to do fine. Since I know she can take one, I stopped consistently giving her one. Bad idea. Now she fights […]
Guess what we’re gonna talk about today? This sunshine dipe that makes me and my mama oh-so happy! 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 […]
