finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Here’s a little vent on finding a pediatrician …Call me picky, but I really want someone we connect with.

If you live near Portland, Oregon I highly recommend checking out Dr. Hofmann-Smith’s seminar. Well worth the […]

She took a break from her busy graduate classes/homework to pick up two new FuzziBuns cloth diapers that we found of Craigslist. Icing on the brownie was the price … $10 FOR TWO!!! Thanks Auntie […]
I started listening to the CD that came with the Hypnobirthing book I purchased awhile back. I’ll admit … it is very relaxing. So much so I drifted off to sleep in the bathtub while I was walking in to my “peace sanctuary”. Not sure if it will do the trick in labor, I tend […]
