finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
So, your little one is having a birthday! Are you excited? Stressed? Reminiscent? I’m usually all of the above – excited for a celebration in honor of one of my most favorite people, stressed about the planning and execution of a party, and reminiscent about their actual birth day. Yeah, that last one always gets […]
Parade Day – maxi + scarf, TJ Maxx /// sandals, thrifted Saltwaters /// jean jacket, high school vintage (which was why I was so excited to get an upgrade from my recent StitchFix!) /// sunglasses, Kate Spade /// diaper bag purse, c/o Lily Jade /// bracelets, Kate + Linny Could this be my favorite outfit […]
Watching /// so many documentaries, even more than I shared here. Latest was Food Matters, Henry VIII and End of Watch (that last one wasn’t a technical documentary, but it was real life ish). And now I’ve started The Vampire Diaries because Fall television can’t come soon enough! I’m most excited for the return of […]
Oh Max, my baby. My little man. I look at you and smile. And tear up. And chuckle. And feel all sorts of awe for the blessing you are to me. Today I rocked Max before settling him into bed, all 35 pounds of him. He is long. His legs extend beyond the arm of […]
I had no idea what to name this post … “How to Butcher a Quarter Cow”, “Ground Beef and Everything Else”, “Fill Your Freezer With a Happy Cow” … well, you see what I landed on. Either way, this post is all about beef cuts and what to expect if you ever purchase a quarter […]

If you’re anything like me, sometimes it is so freakin’ overwhelming to wake up in the morning with 64,000 chores calling your name. Lately, I’ve been breaking things into more manageable bites and have seen a wee bit more success and organization ’round these parts. Wee, as in a little. But in order to encourage […]
Eek! It was a happy, happy day when my third Stitch Fix box arrived. I can’t wait to show you all what I got AND what I kept :) Not familiar with Stitch Fix? It’s a personal styling company perfect for busy mamas who don’t have time or energy to search for quality, timeless pieces […]
Saving /// for this. Swoon. Someday, maybe, probably never :/ Closing /// up week two of 5K training. It’s getting harder, but I’m becoming more committed each run. Loving /// age three. It’s really amazing how much Jem has blossomed this year. I’m anticipating good things from four. Despising /// television. It just takes up […]
Look Mom! I match the flowers!!! Always negotiating … Here’s the deal – I took a long rest and then go’d potty and now we need to sneak downstairs and turn up the volume (monitor) so we can listen for Max and play just us. Sound a good deal? When referring to hiccups … Uh […]
When the internet hands you lemons, you say “Yes! Please! This mama loves her some lemons!” and thank the sweet sponsor who sent those lemons your way :) I’m 5 runs into my 5K training. This is big you guys, really big. Because I hate to sweat and I hate to run, and yet, it’s […]
