finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I adore the weekends for one particular reason … naptime. I’ve always loved naps, but truly, WHO HAS THE TIME? But, in an effort to slow down and physically/mentally prepare for baby I have tried to incorporate a few here and there. This Saturday and Sunday were prime examples. Both days I stopped the madness […]
Watch that ticker go! Only 27(ish) days until baby arrives! Here is Day #3 of 30 Days to Baby … All this planning for baby has me reflecting on the previous Big Day in my life. My extraordinary, special, fantabulous wedding. You know, the day where I married my very own Prince Charming. I think […]
I am so excited for Adriel’s Moms Who Work Series! Check out The Mommyhood Memos for a preview of what she has coming down the pipeline!
It’s Day #2 in 30 Days to Baby! I’m sensing that these last few pregnancy posts are going to fly by … just like the last 9 months. My oh my! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotion surrounding breastfeeding. I know alot of this comes from my OUT OF CONTROL pregnancy hormones, but […]
Have you noticed the ticker up top? The one counting down the moments until I hold my baby? Well, today kicks off “30 Days to Baby”! I am a big believer in the “GUESS DATE” instead of a due date, so 30 days is just an estimate, it could be 10 days … or 40! […]
It’s true, there are a ton of reasons why I absolutely adore my husband. This weekend he added 2 more … We ran out of toilet paper upstairs on Sunday night. Being too lazy/pregnant to trek to the garage for more I moved my tissue box into the bathroom for my midnight visits. By the […]
Our baby mobile is finally ours!!! After much Craigslist searching on Dominic’s part and anguish on my part (I mean, we are mere days away from having a child and only had a 2-seater car until today) our family has a family-size car. I am brimming with excitment! It’s a 1999 Honda CRV. It is an […]
Inspired by The Paper Mama’s 28 1/4 before 28 1/4 and The Feminist Housewife’s 21 before 21 I thought it might be fun to create a 25 before 25. This gives me a touch more than a year (September 8, 2010 to October 5, 2011) to accomplish 25 things. Totally do-able, right? Host my own […]
I started seeing a chiropractor 3 weeks ago. I was pretty sure I was having sciatic nerve pain (no fun) and thought a chiro might be my best route in adjusting to my bigger pregnant self. I was absolutely right! There is no doubt I am bigger and the bump is more uncomfortable to move around, […]
I’ve tried to be a minimalist with baby “stuff”. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m doing a very good job :( In the beginning I had planned to just get a large purse for my and baby’s things. But seeing how full my own purse gets I can’t imagine fitting in baby’s things too. So, yes, […]
Dominic and I were near the State Capitol today for some of our maternity photo shoot. While there we passed by the Korean War Memorial. As with any list of names (movie credits, authors, event programs, etc.) I told Dominic, “Look for boy name options.” So he did. He scrolled the names of those we […]
