finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
If I tried to recount all the lesson my Mom has taught me in the last 30 years I’d have to write a book. Or a volume of books. Maybe I’d roll it into a mini series. She’s that full of wisdom and the greatest asset to my motherhood journey. For starters, she taught me […]
We’re home safe and sound from the hospital! Such a relief to this worried mama’s heart. Everything went just as planned and we’ll head back to Seattle for a follow up in about 6 weeks. I’m so thankful and even more happy that it was just a day surgery. Overnights in the hospital are so […]
I wrote this before Reid’s first surgery last Fall and now we’re gearing up for another one. Not on his thumb this time though, this round is with a urologist for a minor procedure, but the surgery sentiments are the same. I’ll never get over my mix of love and hate for this process. So thankful that […]
Floral Maternity Maxi Dress, c/o PinkBlush — Lace Crop Top, Forever 21 Do I have a decent stash of maternity clothes after 3 1/2 pregnancies? Well, technically, yes, but a lot has changed in the last 7 years and with each new baby I’ve tried to add a few new pieces to my maternity wardrobe. […]
You know how some families have really specific traditions? Yeah, we’re not one of them. We’re more random. There is no Friday night pizza here or donuts before church every Sunday. In fact, we’re about to get real crazy and switch things up with Saturday night church. I don’t even bathe the kids on a […]
I shared this on Instagram the other week after one of our “searching for property” drives that have become our Saturday morning tradition as of late. Along with a Starbucks americano with extra steamed cream and 2 pumps white mocha and 2 pumps cinnamon dolce (so so good, try it!). It’s so fun and so […]
There have been a few minor breaks in the weather lately. Two days to be exact: Tuesday and Thursday. And now, nonstop rain in the forecast once again. But two days is enough for us to plan some excitement. And so, Tuesday became field trip day! I kept it all a surprise because you never know […]
Recap time! February was, well, all the crazy hashtags. It’s mid-March now and I still feel like I’m recovering — the move, Reid’s RSV, my first trimester, (blah!), then, Chicago! That was the good part. Seeing family. Running away from real life. Eating good food. We’re home now (obviously), settling in to somewhat of a […]
We booked our trip to Chicago to visit family before we knew it would fall during my first trimester. It was the steal of the year … like, we all flew, round trip for a few bucks over $500. Ya’ll Southwest is where it’s at! We had a grand ol’ time touring around Naperville, hitting up […]
This post was sponsored by S&W Beans as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I hate to always harp on Max when it comes to food, but that kiddo has thrown me for a real loop when it comes to meal time. He […]
Oh my lanta. That was rough. Well, it kind of still is (evening nausea anyone?), but I’m aiming to begin the start of the week, AND the start of my second trimester, with a brighter perspective and manageable to do list. And yay, you get to check it out, because what else would you want […]
