I love art that reflects motherhood. Like, truly love it. I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to images that capture the beauty of being a mama. It’s one of my faves to pin too :) Usually I’m without words when scrolling through these photos – they’re just so precious. Mamas in their element of […]
“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Cottonelle, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CottonelleTarget http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.” It’s the final countdown!

2013 marked the first year our little family went trick or treating. Jemma + Max’s little buddy (and his mama) came along and we had a grand time. The kids totally got the hang of ringing the bell, saying “trick or treat” and politely snagging a piece or two of candy. We heard lots of […]

I wrote this a few months ago – July sometime I think. It took me a really really long time to fall into the groove with two kids. Like, one or two days out of the week went well, that’s it. Thankfully, everyone has aged a bit – me included – and we’re handling the […]
The threenager has landed! On October 2nd, Miss Jemma turned three years old and this first month has been awesome. Truly, she is full of a fresh zest and although we “fight” over who is the boss on occasion, we’re having a ball exploring and learning about everything under the sun. I mean, just today […]
This weekend marks the end of deal season for me :( The weather has turned, so no yard sale-ing and LMNOP is the final consignment sale in my area until next spring. I’d be in a puddle of tears had I not found such amazing deals last night, but since I did, I’ll hold strong […]
The Beauty Revealed Project that I blogged about … well, they were at a birth conference the other week and if you look real close at the booth … yep, that’s Max and I on the left! Loving /// this sweater tunic. I saw it styled over here and used my Anthro birthday coupon to […]
