finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
When it rains, it pours … this is what I am choosing to focus on today: The sweet birds chirping out my bedroom window. I imagine they are chickadees … (Grammy’s favorite birds) stopping by to tell me everything will be ok. Hot, decaf coffee – don’t forget the peppermint mocha creamer (it’s available year […]
Biggest surprise … Seeing the “yes” on January 30th. Biggest stress … If I had to choose just one it would be the move. Favorite foods … Applesauce and cereal. Worst symptom … Tiredness which led to grumpiness. Best event … Easter in Olympia; a RoBo event. Books read … Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn, […]
This is the plan … Nigella Silhouettes by Amy Butler Designs But with these animal shapes from the Friendly Forest at Michaels What do you think?

I don’t recall when I decided that cloth diapers were my calling. All I know is that they are. I will be a cloth diapering mama and my baby will have the cutest bum in the world. Pictures of such will arrive in a few short months (only 6 left … how can it be?). […]
Since the gender won’t be revealed until baby’s birthday we have decided to be wide open with name ideas. Today we searched through 2 baby name books, front to back.
