finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
See that ^^^? I took that photo all by myself with my new lens! Things that don’t move, like plants, are my friend. Things that do move, like my children, well, they’re more difficult to capture. A few months ago I ordered a 50mm, this one if you’re curious. It’s my first non-stock lens and honestly, I’m […]
Oh yes, it’s true – in honor of Father’s Day this month That Dad Dominic is making an appearance on the blog today! When Dom and I got married way back when (we’re just 14 months away from TEN YEARS!) I imagined that he would be a wonderful father, but now, seeing him in action, […]
This post was sponsored by CYBEX as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central. I received the CYBEX Agis Travel System to facilitate my review. I don’t love summer. Actually, it may be my least favorite season. I know, I know, scoff at me now. But, heat just isn’t my friend. Neither are bugs. Or sunburns. […]
Today I committed a cardinal sin when it comes to potty training — I left home without my “Potty Training On the Go” Kit! Go ahead, cue all the mom brain jokes, I’ve already been officially diagnosed as “super forgetful” by Jemma :) I honestly have yet to do this in all my years of potty training, […]
Well, we’re maybe building a house. I say maybe because we haven’t bought property yet (we have a piece in mind that we love though) and we’re still nailing down a design. Oh, and the budget, because apparently it’s a good idea to be smart about finances when it comes to building. All that to say, we’re […]
This post was sponsored by a2 Milk® as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. I always wanted to be the mom who was all, “Surprise! I made us a treat this afternoon! Just because I love you!” You know, the kind of mom who delights in […]
I clicked on my about page up above the other day and was alarmed to see that according to it I was still a mom of 2! Totally not true – Reid is here and has been for almost 5 months! Time for some updating! So, I gave it a little makeover! Now the about page shares […]
“This post was sponsored by CYBEX as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central. I received the CYBEX Agis Travel System to facilitate my review.” I’ll never ever ever claim to be an expert, but, being a mom of 3, I’ve tried out my fair share of baby products. I guess you could say […]
Dominic always requests something lemon flavored for his birthday dessert. All year long I force chocolate down his throat when it comes to desserts, so, being the awesome wife I am, I whip up some lemon deliciousness on his one special day! Then, back to chocolate :) I’ve had this recipe for lemon meringue sitting […]
I truly envy the mamas who have figured out how to nurse with their regular bras. By the title of this post, you’ve probably guessed that I am not that girl. These here nursing tatas need mega support during their lactating days. For real. End of story, no negotiating allowed. Because of my fluctuation between […]
Since Reid was born, Jem has become the “little mama” in our family. This girl is practically on the brink of earning her own Mother’s Day; she is seriously that awesome. She has grown up so much since last year. I can hardly believe how smart and truly wise she is! What is your mom’s […]
