finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
My family just finished building a house and my soon-to-be 18 year old sis, Hannah, has been doing alot of sorting. Sorting that includes deciding which childhood memories are worth keeping, what should be passed on, and what should join the mega garage sale we are planning for July. This weekend she found a tub […]
Registries are hard. It is difficult to decipher what is actually necessary and what is just marketed to first-time mamas to put us in a panic (and spend hundreds of otherwise, college fund dollars).

This is one of my most favorite children’s books … I can’t wait to snuggle up and read with my baby!

If so, we could move as early as May 22nd.In the meantime, we’ve had realtors and potentials buyers in and out of our current rental […]
