finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Last week I scheduled 3 pediatrician appointments … Dr. A, Dr. B and Dr. C. My Dad always taught me to comparison shop in lots of three, so that is exactly what I planned to do. Planned being the key word. Pediatrician selection seems like a big deal to me. I had amazing pediatricians growing […]
The other day Dominic asked me when we were going to start packing our birth bag. I responded with, “Um, well, I’m 34 weeks so maybe sometime in September.”He didn’t think that was a good idea. Does he have a fatherly sixth sense that we should be ready earlier? Who knows … but the packing […]
Something about a blend of fruit and ice on these hot days has been exactly what I need. Of course, it helps when the Protein Berry Workout with Soy Protein has 22 grams of protein in a power size, 1/4 of the protein I strive to get everyday. The deal is sealed when I have […]

My amazing mom and sisters, Katie and Hannah, came to visit yesterday with one mission: STOCK THE FREEZER. They had planned a multitude of recipes for Dominic and I to enjoy after the baby is born. Can you say, “Amazing!” I wish I could say they were for rent to help stock your freezer, but […]
G and baby (33 weeks) in front of our very own Alice in Wonderland door This Liz Lange Maternity Dress has been my absolute favorite this summer! I splurged and bought it in solid black and a purple pattern. I always say “too much of a good thing is a bad thing” which usually stops […]
