finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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.

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 […]
I’m in love with Petit Collage’s artwork … like drooling over them. So quaint and beautiful! If I had an arm and a leg to spend on nursery artwork these would already be hanging on my walls.
My dear friend, Mallory, gave me a gift certificate to Simple Cloth at my baby shower last week. This weekend I spent it (better to spend than misplace is my gift certificate philsophy) on a Flip Day Pack which consists of 2 covers and 6 stay-dry inserts. Thank you, Mallory!!!Joanna over at Baby Gator’s Den […]
One of my mom’s friends has graciously offered to sew crib bedding for our little one! I’ve stalled on picking out fabric until we knew where we would be moving too, etc.These are my most recent options … From Ikea Textiles (only available in stores) I think it would be sweet as a quilt with […]
