finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Where did fixes #2 and #3 go? Laziness, folks, with a dash of busyness. If you’re just dying to know, I kept this cardigan from my second maternity fix and nothing from the third fix. Well, technically I kept one top, but I sold it in the Stitch Fix Maternity BST group. Today’s fix represents […]

If you’re on the look out for a $50 Target gift card, Halloween goodies and some of this all for free … read on! Jemma joined the Pre-K forces this last week. She loves it. Pretty much obsessed. Basically, after her first day (on Wednesday), I reminded her that Thursday would be a home day […]
Back when I decided to read 12 books this year I thought I was hitting the ball outta the park when it comes to making realistic goals. I mean, I was a mom of two when midnight struck on December 31, 2014, I had hopes of getting pregnant in the coming year and my freelance […]
How far along: 25 weeks, 2 days Gender: A little man, and I think we’ve narrowed down a very top name pick! Jemma has owned it so much that she is announcing it to everyone … our grocery checker, Awanas leader, midwife. Weight gain: I gained 7 pounds in the last month :/ I’m blaming the Costco box of Lucky […]
Scarf – gift /// Bracelet – c/o BeadforLife /// Tank – Target /// Leggings – Nordstrom /// Cardigan – Nordstrom /// Shoes – Tieks I’ve never been pregnant in the Fall or Winter. Jemma was an October baby; and it was warm up until her birth day. Max is my August man, so again, hot. […]
Eons ago I shared this recipe (apparently, before you took photos of your food!). Slow cooker apple oatmeal continues to be a family favorite for us, especially around back to school time. My mama, the kiddo’s Mimi, is living with us this school year and in honor of her first day at school we had this cozy […]
Yesterday I shared about one of my favorite kiddo breakfasts and today, it’s all about the me! You didn’t think I would skip the most important meal of the day, did you? And, if you know anything about me, the most important meal includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks throughout and dessert, of course! So, next week begins our new school routine, my […]

Nothing starts everyone off on the right foot like a solid breakfast filled with protein, fruit, dairy, whole grains and a little something extra special like our friends Snap, Crackle […]
I’m slow to process meaningful events in my life. Molasses slow. Breastfeeding is one such event, well, experience. Hence, this post has been in my drafts since late Winter when I first started to night wean Max. He had just turned 2 1/2 and I felt like it was time. For him and for me. Not […]
