finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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 […]
9:38pm. Deep breaths. Two children down. One to go. Tomorrow’s clothes are laid out. Kids hair is washed. The vacuum is running. Thank you Jesus for Roomba! I sway and hum to our favorite sleepy song. I squeeze Reid a little tighter. My darling little one. He sighs and draws closer to my chest; to […]
When my chunky little man was still in utero I ran across the perfect birth announcement for him. It was from Minted, of course, and the moment I saw it, I just knew. Seriously, as I hovered over the preview, I could imagine my little squish’s photo and I 100% fell in love. The gold foil, […]
Spring is on its way. Can you feel it? It’s still raining often in the Pacific Northwest, and when the nice weather comes, I miss it desperately. I’m a rain loving girl through and through. The pitter patter brings calm; the rhythm, peace. But these biting cold days are drawing to an end and that’s […]
