finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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 […]
You guys, I’m on a roll with my writing these days, not so much with my running. But, let’s ignore that fact and focus on these Nike FlyKnits? Darling, right? And I can vouch for their comfort. The best ever! I’m on a total closet declutter — shop that jazz here and if you mention that […]

I have personally experience the high quality of Lenny Lamb — featured here — and am crossing my fingers that YOU win this gorgeous soft structure carrier!

Reid is quickly approaching my all time favorite baby age – 5 months! With all 3 of my little ones, 5 months has meant sitting up, lots of smiles, and super chubby legs. It’s just too darling for words! At this age he’s really interacting with us, but can’t yet cause trouble. It’s perfection and I’ll forever […]
Jemma turns 6 this year. That means I’m 1/3 of the way parenting her through the years she’ll be at home. Cue tears and all the emotions! I’ve spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about what I want her to leave home with. Like, the top, super, most important things. All the essentials […]
Another Mother’s Day has arrived! I thought about running away today, or hiding … just for a day (or, realistically, until Reid needed to nurse). You probably know the feeling, that pull to find some quiet and remember what it is like to be alone. That isn’t my season right now though and as much as […]
Bear with me! I promise, as boring as it sounds to deep clean your dishwasher, it is a must and I’m going to help make this Spring cleaning task as easy as possible. Deep cleaning your dishwasher is totally something you can start in just a few minutes AND, best of all, if you use safe products, your […]
I am not a chef, not even close. I don’t even have a love for cooking, my sister got those genes … and mad skills. Let me tell you! When I am old and gray I pray she takes me in and keeps my belly full with her amazing recipes. She is only 6 years my junior, but […]
“This post was sponsored by Doctor On Demand as part of a Blog Blast Activation for Influence Central.” I love my kid’s pediatrician, really I do. In fact, she was my doctor growing up! When we moved back to my hometown I immediately called and begged her to take my littles on as new patients […]
This week we had the first glimpse of summer and it was amazing! 80 degrees in April, who even thought that was possible?!? With the burst of nice weather, I’ve been practicing being “fun mom”. That’s how this photo came to be. After dinner one night we stole away to the squirting fountain and then […]
