finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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 […]

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 […]
This past weekend Dominic and I went out on a movie date (Owen Wilson’s No Escape, totally not a normal Owen film I might add). After, we found ourselves at Applebee’s. We haven’t been in ages, but it holds fond memories for us because late nights at “The Bee’s” were a regular occurrence during our […]
How far along: 23 weeks, 1 day Gender: Baby boy on the horizon! Weight gain: Plus 10 pounds. Maybe more seeing that I just bought Lucky Charms in bulk at Costco. Sleep: Good. I’ve been staying up later and napping during the day and it seems to be a good balance. Best moment this week: Nesting has moved in early and […]
Bllllaaaaaaaaaahhhh! We leave in, like, 3 weeks! I can hardly believe it! I went MIA on the whole idea of Disney after my first post because I started getting this weird crotch cramping. Totally lovely, I know. Well, apparently it has something to do with a weak pelvic floor and this being baby tres; it’s no good. […]
