finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m popping in today with a very friendly (and unsponsored, but affiliate) public service announcement. It’s about both saving and earning money and is plain ol’ awesome in my opinion. You with me? It’s really fabulous! Meet Ebates … Here’s the deal … I’ve been using Ebates for online shopping for about 2 years now. […]
“This post was sponsored by Starbucks as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received compensation and complimentary products to facilitate my review.” One of the hardest parts about welcoming a new baby into our family has been how torn I feel with my time. My heart didn’t have any trouble growing with […]
Are you officially a Disneyland addict if you think about Disneyland every day? What if you only want to drink out of your Disney mug because it’s the only one that makes you smile? How about if you find yourself humming Snow White and Cinderella tunes as you clean the house? Pretty much, I think […]
January was such a blur for me this year … newborns will do that to you, I suppose! I’m just now getting around to many of my annual traditions … ahem … and am happy to finally report that I’ve landed on a word of the year for 2016. Today. It’s my reminder to focus on the present. To be […]
As soon as I found out I’d be having a little one towards the end of 2015 … or, as it turned out, the very beginning of 2016, I knew I wanted to skip Christmas cards. Actually, every year I want to skip them because 1) It’s a lot of work to gather and update […]
It’s not a secret that my Max struggles with food. Well, not all food, just healthy food. He loves chocolate and carbs. I guess he is like me … but with less self-control. Breakfasts are especially a struggle. He does like scrambled eggs, but honestly, we don’t always have time for a hot breakfast around […]
Early this Fall I was honored to jump on board with a really fun nursery design project inspired by classic nursery rhymes! I spilled my heart and shared my vision for Reid’s little nursery corner in our guest room/office and my designer for the project came up with the sweetest nursery inspiration! Don’t you just […]
“This post was sponsored by Lionsgate as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” We all know motherhood has catapulted me into a deep love for books. I’ve always been a reader, but this season is something special for me. I no longer read for assignments or extra credit. […]
Today, a tale of my attempt to leave the house for the second time with 3 young children. The first attempt, two weeks ago, landed us with a totaled car. The poor, unfortunate day, all I wanted to do was return a library book and buy a smoothie. Then we got rear ended. Boo. Such […]
Forever January will be a month of new beginnings for me. Everyone gets that vibe at the start of the year, I suppose, but it especially rings true for me since Reid arrived on January 1st. It’s just all so new and although I feel like I’m perpetually behind, it’s refreshing to turn the calendar […]
A new year means a new book list! I’m a pretty happy camper when I’ve got a good book to look forward to each evening. I do most of my reading in the bath tub; it’s the perfect way to wind down from the day. With bath salts. And wine. Or coconut water. I aim […]
