finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
.Jem and I are spending our first day solo!.Daddy’s alarm went off at 5:30 am. While he got ready Jem and I snuggled in for an early morning nursing session. She dozed off (as did I) and we didn’t wake up until 8:30 am. Such a nice long stretch of sleep for mama..We nursed again […]
I’ve been a mama for one week, the best week of my life :) Here is what I’ve learned … Cloth nursing pads are divine … those disposables are not as soft, fill up my garbage and are hardly absorbent. Cloth is the way to go. Mine are bamboo velour/hemp and are here to stay. Baby swings […]

Since we don’t know our little one’s gender I’ve been searching for the perfect first outfit. You know, the perfect outfit for baby’s first Facebook photo :) These are the two options I’m leaning towards. What do you think? Left – Kate Quinn OrganicsRight – Hanna Andersson via consignment
