finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Ya’ll are just aching to hear about the 5K, right? Good news is … I’m staying up late to write about it! Great news is … I’m already looking forward to my next race in March so you know it must have gone decent! The running bug has bit and I think I’m officially owning the […]
One /// Two /// Three /// Four /// Five Pinterest is still one of my most favorite things. I’ve given up on accomplishing it all, and rather, am content just to browse as my down time. And hence, being on vacation I’m doing a fair share of pinning. It has sparked some ideas that I’ll […]
Top, THML from Stitch Fix /// Skinnies, Vigoss from Nordstrom via Ebates /// Shoes, Tieks /// Bag, Exploradora from Mus Bags /// Hoops, Fossil /// Watch, Michael Kors from Nordstrom Heavens to Betsy! This trip turned out to be much warmer than I expected. No jackets or layers needed – it’s summer in Texas, ya’ll! […]
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #DropShopAndOil #CollectiveBias Once upon a time I scoffed at the moms who drove minivans.

On Thursday we hustled our buns to the airport for our adventure to Texas! We barely made it … like, rolled into departures with 40 minutes until take off, a ton of bags, two tired kids – we left the house at 4:30 am, car seats and a mama desperately needing her Starbucks. Everything/one made […]
Oh friends! One, I’m excited to give you a dose of real life today. The inside of my diaper bag kind of real life. It’s not all roses, but it sure it all functional … or at least entertaining :) There was so prepping or staging of this “photo shoot” – just a dump and display. Real […]
I’d like to say this is the first of twelve installments of my little duo. Buuuuuut, we all know I really stink at daily/weekly/monthly challenges. So, may I present just January! perhaps the first of four or nine or twelve … or maybe the one and only :) Jem is really into laying out her […]
Happy Monday! This weekend ended on a sour note for all us Pacific Northwest folks who were cheering on our Seahawks. I’m a total bandwagon fan, but sported my tee and fancy headband with pride. I even joined in the actual game watching in the final 2 minutes and thus, got to see all the […]
Flashback Friday – it’s baby Max! In a week, my little mister turns 2 1/2. He falls asleep on me each night, all snuggled and rosy cheeked. Just like he did when he was an itty bitty. And now, he’s not. He’s pushin’ 40 pounds and can practically bulldoze me over in a few seconds flat. […]
Near the end of last year I felt such a burden on my heart. That sounds cliche and so momentous, so feel free to roll your eyes. I’m rolling my eyes! But I don’t really know any other way to put it. It was this strong and forthright tug that said, “say no”. Say no. And […]
Every year I aim to read “x” amount of books. I love reading, always have, but with little ones roaming about and minimal solo time it’s not like you’ll find me plopped on the couch too often with a book in hand. Well, at least not for a few years until I can establish a bona […]
