finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Nursing bras.Yikes.Not really something I want to think about. I already have a hard enough time finding semi-attractive bras for my girls. My ma blessed me with quite a pair (yep, mom, I’m calling you out for your boob genes). As much as I love Nordstrom, my visits to their lingerie department always make me […]
Being surrounded by boxes I’ve noticed my mind wandering on to the next packing project … my bag for baby’s birthday!!! What are the must-haves in my birth bag? I know I’ll need a change of clothes and normal toiletries, but what else? Do you take a book or a deck of cards? Have I […]
I keep reading how relaxation is key to a natural birth.You know, eliminate the high pitch shrieks when the contractions are about ready to kill me. No tightening up. Positive thinking. All that crap that I’ll probably through out the window as I scream bloody murder and yell every explitive I’ve ever heard …Sidenote – […]
Time is flying by … before I know it, it will be Thanksgiving and I’ll have a little bundle tied to me all the time! Won’t that be something to be thankful for :)On Monday we trekked to Tualatin for our monthly midwife appointment. It takes a good 40 minutes to get there, but we […]

Munching on these awesome steel cut oats for breakfast today. A total treat; definitely on the shopping list for my next run to Trader Joe’s. They make me feel healthy, I think that’s why I’m so into them.
I wonder about alot of things that should never cross a person’s mind.One of these taboo wonderings is … “How much does that person weigh?” It doesn’t matter if it a rail thin person or not … I wonder. I always wish I knew so I could further hone my weight-guessing skills.I would love to […]
The new house has 3 large bedrooms. One will be the master, the other will be Naomi’s (our dear friend/roommate) and the third will be the nursery/office. To create 2 rooms from the 1 I’m thinking about getting a colorful rug for the baby’s side.Enter IKEA’s Hellum rug …Dominic is an IKEA-hater. Yes, I know […]
The big move is in 5 days. We’re getting to be pros at moving seeing that we have conquered 3 moves in our short 2 1/2 years of marriage … Move #1 (August 2007) – into our first apartment (AKA Little Mexico) the week before our wedding. Move #2 (August 2008) – into the upgrade, […]
Leah and I ran across this pattern on Sunday and just couldn’t say no! I ordered it and Leah has already begun to work her magic … can’t wait to see the final product! I’m sure it’s going to be my little one’s favorite toy :)
This is the fabulous duvet cover I mentioned last week. It screams Anthro, doesn’t it?
