finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I decided. Well, not 100%, but enough that I ordered the Litto Kids Retro Mushroom Crib Set. I can’t wait for it to come!!! For only $90 I just couldn’t pass it up. Dominic agreed. He loves my passion for a good bargain (and hey, I do too). I’m really hoping it compliments the curtains […]
I have been on the verge of a meltdown in regard to crib bedding. Like, “don’t bring it up” kind of meltdown. It is bothering me that much. Call it pregnancy rage or something like that.I can’t find anything I like that fulfills the criteria. Criteria for crib bedding, you ask? Yes, I am that […]
My sisters and a bunch of friends from home are planning a fun shower later this month. Check out these lovely invites … I can’t wait! A special thanks to Mallory at Maysie Faye’s on Etsy for creating this digital artwork! She is very prompt, does lots of customizations and was great to work with. […]
So, this is a week late which means I might not remember much, but hey … I’m doing my best to keep up with this whole pregnancy journal thing :)Last Monday was our 25(ish) week appointment at Andaluz. We met with Lucina and her apprentice, Lindsey who will both be attending our birth. Lucina is […]

Review the Danish Childhood Vaccination Schedule which my sister recommended. Attend a vaccination education class being offered […]
It has been quite a busy week off of work … here is a picture recap. We celebrated Mom’s birthday with a fabulous dinner and homemade red velvet cupcakes from the family chef. We love holiday meals (in actuality we love every meal) with Hannah! Hannie made the best BBQ corn with veggie steak quinoa […]
As I mentioned, here is the protein/veggie rich recipe for Black Bean Salsa. It is super simple, just toss the following ingredients in a large bowl, grab a bag of tortilla chips (the guacamole or blue corn ones are my favorite) and ENJOY! 2, 15 oz cans of black beans (drained and rinsed)1, 15 oz […]
Last week we started our Bradley Method birth class. For quite some time I debated between taking a class and not taking a class. In the end, (being the educational nut I am) I decided a class was worth our time. Fit Pregnancy recently posted an article titled, Cutting Class. Seems I am in the […]
I’m part of a Yahoo! group specific for the moms who have babies at Andaluz. It has been such a great resource for product reviews, ailments and everything else mama/baby related.
