finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
It’s that time of year — the kick off of MommyCon season! Bianca, of The Pierogie Mama, and I attended the Seattle event last Fall and we’re gearing up to go again on Saturday, April 2nd! Why, you ask, are we headed back so soon? Well, the sessions of course! They’re fresh and new and so […]
Yoga pants. They are my life blood. My every day. My momiform. Some days I actually do yoga in them. I was attending a class quite consistently during my third trimester actually. Yoga was the perfect, easy exercise when I generally felt big and heavy; also there is great childcare at the gym, so … win […]
If you were expecting a list on how I’ve reached this milestone — 50 months of breastfeeding, whoop, whoop, high five to me and my babies! — you’ll find this post lacking. Every situation is so unique, every mother/baby duo so special that what I’ve experienced is most likely very different from what you’ve experienced. Over […]
Today is such a wonderful treat! I have absolutely fallen in love with woven wraps; they’re such a fabulous part of the babywearing world! I first started using woven wraps during my pregnancy for belly support and now that Reid is here he has fast become my wrapping guinea pig. We’ve been rocking the […]
No extra words today, just links and a little sunshine peeking through. Life as a mom is crazy busy … but you already knew that :) Bahahaha! I’m always about a new smoothie. We bought this and love it! And, I just ordered these because I’m back to running! My favorite, so versatile! Guess who […]
Of all the sessions I’ve done with Christine, this might be my very favorite. Yes, I think it actually is. She finalized over 50 photos of me and my littles and I just love the simplicity and joy in each one of them! Today, I’m spoiling you with a peek at my top 10! If […]
Here I am, popping in to shout from the rooftops to the internet — encapsulating your placenta is great, buuuuuuut …. blending it in a smoothie is better! Now, don’t be alarmed. I didn’t blend the whole thing. Just a 1 inch cube. It was hardly there. But there enough to give me a big boost after […]
5 1/2 years. Ya’ll, that’s how long I’ve been a cloth diaper mama. With no breaks. From one to the next to the next. Jemma and Max even overlapped for quite awhile! In the beginning I loved cloth diapering. It was so fun to find new prints and try out new styles. Then it just […]
Perfect probably isn’t the right word. But, when your baby is born a parent’s hope is ultimate health. That complete health often equals “perfection”. So, when something is “wrong” a piece of your heart breaks. Your child isn’t whole, something is amiss, you have decisions to make, and a future to consider. You are filled […]
Reid is newborn-ish. Two months tomorrow, in fact! And yes, I can hardly believe it. 60 days with this little treasure in my arms or very close by. Where has the time gone? With 3 littles he has been forced to be my easy going baby. We’re on the go often and when we’re home, we’re […]
It is every blogger’s dream to fall in love with a product and then have that company reach out to form an official partnership. Seriously, I’m still so honored that Taste Nirvana, the brains and beauty behind my absolute favorite coconut water, contacted me! Dream. Come. True. Like, the kind of dream where you smile big, laugh, and […]
