finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Saturday my bestie, Mallory, arrived in town from Boise. We walked, talked, drank decaf coffee, went out to eat, and went to bed early (like all good pregnant girls do). My mom and sisters arrived on Sunday for my first baby shower which was smashing :) Pictures soon …Today, Monday, is moving day. AH!!!! My […]
If baby is a girl I will be terribly tempted to order this crib quilt. Liberty of London’s patterns (from Target) are amazing and are just the right price ($29.99)!
I ran across a steal ($10) for what seems to be an awesome nursing cover from Baby Bond. Mine came in the mail today so I gave Dominic a fashion show so he could see how easy it is to use (he was mildly amused) … now all I need is a baby! This cover […]
Cheers to Tasha for planning my very first baby shower … from 2,000 miles away! Here is a glimpse of the invitation style. I love it’s vintage flair and gender neutral-ness. A big thank you to Tasha and the other shower hosts for all their time and effort in putting together this special day!
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 […]
One of the Andaluz Mamas recommended gowns for baby to help with those late night diaper changes. This is one baby item I’m definitely on the hunt for.I’m pretty sure I found this gown on Etsy somewhere … forgot the shop so if it’s yours or you know the creator please comment :)I love the […]
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 […]
