finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Today’s post and giveaway is sponsored by Puro Sound Labs. I’ll be honest, until I connected with Puro Sound Labs, I didn’t know there were headphones with noise limiting capabilities. Had I, you can bet Max would have had a pair. Because this little music lover only believes in one volume — LOUD! Often enough you […]
Today’s fabulous mama fashion is sponsored by Pink Blush. The perfect place to shop whether you’re expecting or just on the prowl for summer pretties! Happy last day of May! Once June arrives it’s crazy town here, because I say hello to my third trimester! And that’s kind of surreal, because the third trimester leads […]
As a SAHM it’s super easy to get stuck in my own little world. For the most part, I’m healthy, my kids are healthy, and we’re living a pretty charmed life. But not everyone is. And God forbid, that might not always be our story. That’s one reason why I love social media. It really […]
Couldn’t have managed this organization project without our sponsor, Diono! Thank you for gifting our family with everything we needed to freshen things up in my mom mobile! Whether you’ve got a summer road trip on your mind or your car has been overrun by all things children, it’s probably time to empty everything out and start fresh. […]
Jem and I are upping our art game. It’s calm and relaxing and we listen to Yo-Yo Ma or the Disney Legacy CD while we craft. The boys join in sometimes and other times we distract them with snacks so we can get creative in the quiet. This week it was watercolors and flower crowns. Next week? Well, we’re taking […]
This post was written in collaboration with some of the included brands. No payment was received, but some items were gifted to our family. Affiliate links included. Dominic and I do very different things in our down time. Down time as in, when the kids are all finally sleeping and we have a little time on […]
It’s late. I’m in pajamas. It’s allllmost time for my 4th meal (debating between a bowl of cereal or salt and vinegar chips). But, since it’s your lucky night, I’m holding off on my pregnancy cravings to share everything that has arrived for Jemma’s 1st grade homeschool year … via video! Enjoy! Here’s the link list […]
When I was mapping out our homeschool year last Fall, I heard through the grapevine that something special was coming to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle — the Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor. Amazing exhibits are frequently on rotation at PSC (when I was growing up we saw features on Titanic, King Tut, and […]
Max doesn’t appear on the blog much these days. That’s his choice and it’s totally fine with me. This summer he turns 5 and by that age I’m all for my kids participating how and when they want. With this new sense of independence, Max rarely joins in on photos (for the blog or not!) whereas […]
Over the years I’ve discovered many of my personal favorites from reading posts about things other mamas love. So, I figured it was high time I wrote a fresh “love” post and shared what I’m all about RIGHT NOW. Nothing like the present :) Granted, these are all slightly tainted by pregnancy. They may not be […]
We’re nearing the end of the school year. Our first as homeschoolers! I think the final day will be May 31st, then we’ll take a bit off before launching into 1st grade. Honestly, I’m a little torn on when to kick off our next school year, so, weigh in … I’m due September 8th with […]
