finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Hey Dad, It’s me … you’re little one :) I’m stopping by Mama’s blog to wish you a Happy 1st Father’s Day! She said I’ll be arriving in about 111 days. Aren’t you excited? I’m sure looking forward to a crazy amount of snuggling this Fall. Good thing you have your TiVo so we can […]
Just 5 weeks ago Mallory and I had our bestie bump picture … the little ones are definitely growing like crazy!
A number of friends and family joined me last Saturday for my very first baby shower! It was a wonderful afternoon of delicious food, wonderful company and some much needed baby gear.

I had a craving for Panda Express today. Something about that orange chicken is incredibly tempting. Good thing I did, because I got two great fortunes (you know because, preggers can’t have just one fortune cookies) … Your confidence will lead you to success. The wise thing to do is to prepare for the unexpected.
No need to sugar coat things. Moving is tough. It’s unsettling to be in a new place that doesn’t yet feel like home. Moving isn’t fun and I prefer fun. Yesterday morning I couldn’t find the box with my hairspray. I guess I was the ring leader for a new holiday — “Flat Hair Day”. […]
Yesterday morning I left one home and after work I drove to my new home. Our entire life had been loaded into a truck and off we went on another crazy moving adventure. Throughout the day my mom sent me picture updates while I was at work so I could stay involved in the process. […]
