finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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. I started an e-mail folder for things I think I might need to know down the road (kind of vague, but you know those […]
Baby has been kicking around for quite some time now. I think I felt the first flutters around 16 weeks. Now, baby has quite the legs and is kicking like crazy! In honor of the World Cup, Dominic felt our little one’s movement for the first time last week (at 24 weeks). Baby must have […]
After a long weekend of making our house a home we are finally putting on the finishing touches. We have a sweet, little cradle camping out in the corner of the living room … just waiting for our baby’s arrival.
Baby’s Uncle Anton has been on the safety watch. This morning he forwarded a crib recall announcement to Dominic so we could make sure our crib was safe. Before we got our crib I checked all the recall notices and we were good to go. Unfortunately, 2 days ago our Simmons crib was recalled :( […]
Trina over at Look at the Birds hosted a Moody Mamas giveaway last week. On a whim, I entered. Remember my obsession with Moody Mamas?Well, since I’m a budgeting kind of girl most of my maternity clothes have come from hand-me-downs, Target, garage sales and Value Village. But still, I lust over Moody Mamas/Nordstrom on […]
This move has left me with 2 thoughts … Stuff is a bother. Opening boxes of “Misc.” is frustrating. Who needs “Misc.” in their life? On many occasions I was tempted to just move the whole box into the garage sale pile. But then I’d stop, “What if there was a treasure stuffed inside?” Alas, […]
Have you had a chance to place your bet on baby’s gender, birthday, weight and height? If not, it isn’t too late! Join the fun at …
Tracey over at My Sweet T compiled all of the gender wive’s tales to determine if she is having a boy or girl. Of course she had a tie, and I bet I will too … let’s see! If the heart rate is under 140 you’ll have a boy.I believe our last appointment was 154 […]
