finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Some super fashionable blog mamas are posting their Fall fashions each and every day. This mama doesn’t get fully dressed every day, so our Fall fashions will be on a more weekly basis. Or maybe quarterly depending on how motivated I get :).Yesterday Jemma and I met Daddy for lunch which called for real clothes, […]
I’ve always promised my sister, Katie, that I would plan her wedding. I plan to go out, shop, seek and conquer; returning with a few options for her to make her final selection on things such as location, dresses, flowers … you name it … I will find it. Katie isn’t much of a shopper and […]
Jemma and I trekked to Andaluz yesterday for her 3 week check-up. My little girl weighs a whopping 11 pounds, 10 ounces! She has gained a pound each week of her life!–I promise I’ll be writing and posting her birth story soon, but the bottom line is, we are indebted to our birth team. They […]
Being the disorganized mama I currently am I didn’t have photos ready for our recent What we’ve been up to … post. So here they are now … enjoy! . Mallory and I met up last Friday (with our hubbies and babies) and immediately swapped children :) I loved snuggling Olivia while Mallory soaked up some […]
Blogging has slipped way down on my priority list. Actually, it has practically fallen off the list. Something about having a little princess snoozing on your chest makes everything else in life less important. That’s right, it is a miracle if the dishes get loaded or laundry folded or a blog written. Life is just […]

One such trick I found was the Woombie – an award winning baby swaddler..The Woombie is made of soft cotton with a bit of stretch. This allows babies to feel secure without […]
Mandy at She Breathes Deeply is a constant source of encouragement. Her blog is marked in my “Daily Reads” and I’m so excited for the adventure she and her husband are embarking on … PARENTHOOD!.Today she started the 30 Days of Truth and journaled on hate. Contrary to what you would think, this was an […]
It is reassuring to know that Nursing for Comfort has many benefits … Jemma is especially happy :) Definitely a worthwhile read for mama’s currently or considering breastfeeding.
Some evil Fall allergens have crept there way into my nose/throat. At first I thought I had a cold, but no … just allergies. Yuck!.Between allergies and a cuddle loving baby this mama is wiped out..
I forgot to mention … along with Jemma’s growth, I have been shrinking. Today marks my return to pre-pregnancy weight. The scale read 154.6 pounds this morning (I was 155 when I got pregnant and then dropped to 145, before bounding up to 186 the day I went into labor)..Now to just tone everything up […]
