finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Yesterday we drove out to Beaverton to check out the highly recommended baby store, Segal’s. They had an amazing showroom of nursery furniture, bedding, supplies, clothes, strollers, and our sought after item … carseats. We got a great amount of info on Graco, Peg Perego, and Chicco carseats. These have been our focus since they […]
The movie, Babies, comes out tomorrow. So excited to see it … hoping to be inspired by some other country’s traditions and such!
For the last few weeks I’ve been gathering carseat recommendations. It all started with a sister-to-sister conversation after I confessed my confusion with all the choices. Let me tell you, carseat shopping is a whole new ball game! Here is a synopsis of what I have gathered from my sis and the Andaluz Family Yahoo […]
We think we might have found a place to move! It will be available the first weekend of June and we’re just waiting to hear back on our application. Cross your fingers! The rental market has been quite a fiasco. You would think there are lots of options out there, but no. Nice houses (newer, […]
My list of “to-read before baby” is quickly growing … I’ll be honest, the books on labor are being pushed to the bottom. I think I’ve gathered the overall message, “1,000 things could happen and every mom is different”. I’ve moved on to other topics like Healthy Meals for Babies and Toddlers. I found this […]
BellaBand = my bra for the bump I’m in love with my BellaBands! They are helping me to transition for . Who would have thought that a smudge of elastic could work such wonders? Over the last few weeks I have acquired two … both by Ingrid & Isabel. One has lace on the bottom […]
I have officially declared May our family’s “Freezer/Pantry Meal Month”. I’ve got quite the stock pile in both and this initiative will help us to pack/move less and save money … what a concept!Rather than doing a weekly menu (which happens about 25% of the time) I created a monthly menu from the freezer and […]
I tossed out the name Brodie.Dominic said, “Not bad”.This is good news. “Not bad” is a favorable answer these days.
Does anyone remember the creamsicle hard candies from a few years ago … they came in orange and raspberry flavor. I think Lifesaver made them. I need them and can’t find them anywhere! Let me reiterate, I NEED THEM! I couldn’t even find a picture on Google to jog your memory; could they have been […]
Check out Leah’s progress on the baby pants! Isn’t the green stripe an awesome addition?
I’m still a bit floored by the amount of baby clothing at the sale. It was unbelievable. It was incredibly organized. I wll be going back every year. I truly believe the mall is officially the worst place to buy clothing. Everything pictured above was under $5 … most was $1-$2. I know, crazy. These […]
