finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
This week I scrolled through my recent posts to recall what I’ve covered here on the blog and found it so lacking :/ I used to share some pretty awesome posts if I do say so myself and the last few months have been random Style Files, recipes and pregnancy updates. Kind of lame if […]
When Dominic and I were having conversations about a third child one of my main convincing points was that we only truly needed one thing – a third car seat. So pretty much, this baby would be our super budget baby :) Practically free! When it comes to car seats I’m a bit of a […]
Necklace c/o Emerald Cuff … stay tuned for a whole Style File with them, you Stitch Fixers will love it and you can save $10 off your first order here. How far along: 17 weeks Gender guess: I carried high with Jem, low with Max. This photo looks high to me, so … girl? Weight gain: I […]
Oh, yes, some little things about summer are truly beautiful. ^^^ exhibit A. Sublime + thrifty decorating tips. What you need to eat this summer. This mama. Just adore her. She’s got style. Read it in 2 days. AND #5 COMES OUT NEXT YEAR! We loved this movie. Now I love it even more. Too […]
How far along: 15 weeks Gender guess: I mean, it’s 50/50, right? I did order this for kicks and giggles! Weight gain: Plus 5 pounds at the end of my first trimester. Not too shabby. Sleep: Insomnia sadness going on. I just started taking my mag/cal in hopes of staying asleep more often than not. Best moment this week: My […]
I took the plunge and am so happy I did! Maternity Stitch Fix for the win! Stitch Fix has always known what they’re doing – I’ve adored so many of the pieces I’ve received over the last 2+ years, and now, they’re catering to both the pregnant and petite gals of the world. Hallelujah! So, this […]

How far along: 13 weeks Gender guess: A little back story here … We spent the weekend with Dominic’s extended family. His grandma , who passed in November, was a expert gender predictor. Her only daughter is feeling like she has inherited this gift and she has put her vote in as this baby being a girl. […]
That ^^^ is no joke how our Disneyland trip begins. A few weeks ago, shortly after I found out I was expecting I was passed out for a nap with Max and had the most vivid, magical dream. That’s the best thing about nap dreams, I always remember them and tend to wake up inspired […]
Just to clarify … Jemma is twinning with her favorite people, you’ll see what I mean when you scroll down. I AM NOT HAVING TWINS! Uno baby in this mama’s womb! I’ve never been one to use special-for-baby detergents. Laundry is a big enough chore as it is and I’m not one to create more […]
How far along: 11 weeks Gender guess: I ordered these in Grenadine. So … yeah. Weight gain: Our scale bit the dust and I have way more important things to buy than a new one. This week I both fit into my size 6 shorts and a pair of maternity pants, so I’m apparently very flexible, lol! Sleep: Touch and […]
