finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
There they are. The reason I write. The inspiration for just about everything. Love them. Love them big time. If you would have told me 6 years ago that I’d be earning a decent part-time income from sharing words on the internet I never would have believed you. In fact, some of you have written lately […]
It stinks having one of your sisters live far away. It’s like part of your heart, part of your history, is absent. Thank goodness unlimited texting came into the world, because I would have a crazy high phone bill every month if not for that upgrade! I don’t my girl, Hannah, being away one bit and regularly […]
Popping in with a short and sweet, super simple recipe to kick off your weekend! And yes, I’ll forever be a fan of alliteration! My friend, Katie, shared it with me years ago and it’s a forever favorite around here. Hearty and healthy, there I go again!, it’s my go to when I deliver a meal to a […]
Daylight Saving is treatin’ me real fine. I’m LOVING the longer days, fresh flowers, and sometimes warmer weather. In the last week we’ve oscillated (isn’t that a great word?) between rain boots and sandals, wind breakers and shorts, but all in all, Spring is good. Truly, I’ve been a little overwhelmed with all life is […]
Reid turned 3 months on the 1st (what the what?!?) and although I feel like I’ve been back at it for quite some time, this month officially marks the end of my 4th trimester. Which, is of course, the perfect cause for celebration! I’m beyond excitement to bless one of you mamas with a HUGE […]

Because, as you all know, I’m all about grace. Especially in this season of motherhood. But, goals help keep me on track, so I’ve […]
Does it brighten your day when something other than a bill or junk mail arrives in your mailbox? I’m venturing to guess, yes! Everyone loves a card in the mail. Especially if it’s an extra special one. Something like this. Forever I’ve been a fan of snail mail. As long as I can remember I’ve had a stash […]
Dear Lord, give me strength. Give me patience. Give me calm. Give me health. Help Max to listen. Make Reid take a solid morning nap. Help me to prioritize and be productive. Patience too, did I mention that? I need patience. Big time. These are the words that shuffle through my mind and off my lips most […]
I received complimentary product from Orvis for this review. Happy final day of March, friends! Can you believe it’s already the 31st? March has been that in between season where I’m half running indoors to sip cocoa and snuggle under the blankets and half racing outside to embrace the bits of sun that are peeking out. Oh, […]
“On your service, Captain Mommy!” That’s Max’s go to phrase when I ask him to do something these days. I don’t know where he got it from, but I love it. I really really love it. It’s so him. He also has been known to say, “Yes your majesty,” with a little bow (inspired by Sophia […]
“This post is sponsored by TRESemmé, a product of Unilever, as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.” Friends, today, we’re talking hair care! It’s one of those simple and necessary to dos in a mom’s life and although I rock a top knot more often than not, I feel 100% more pulled […]
