finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m sure it’s going to be a pretty lovely Wednesday. I mean, it’s June 29th and the weather is going to reach a high of 64 degrees. Yay for summer in the Northwest! It’s also my Mama’s birthday today! She’s spending it on the road with my Pa and 2 sisters heading to my baby […]
We’re on our way north, but I wanted to give a shout out to all of my readers who commented on my discipline questions post. Your words gave me food for thought and I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in all this wondering! I ordered this book to continue my research and emailed […]
This is gonna be a long one, so bear with me and chime in on my few questions at the end! We haven’t encountered any discipline issues yet. Jemma is only 8 months old, so I’m guessing that is fairly normal. But, in prepartion for that day I’ve been trying to learn more about what […]
I’m been alerted that I’ve been less than present in ol’ blog land. And it’s true. No particular reason, other than the fact that I sometimes opt to sleep and do dishes instead of blogging. True story. I still manage to read quite a bit and wanted to share some of my favorites posts as […]
We aren’t even discussing night weaning yet, but when we do, I’m all over this book! A news break in research linking autism and vaccines. It’s important to remember there is alot of money being exchanged in the world of vaccine production and advertisement. I hate to be blunt, but do your research before you […]
Here is a smidgen of great links and articles I’ve read in the last week. The internet is such an arsenal of wisdom. I love learning from other moms! This project has me itching for Valentine’s Day! Since I’ve been sewing more, I plan to whip up some of these sweet cards next year. Even […]

I created a new Pandora station to listen to at work. It’s based off of the song Lovers Carvings by Bibio. I first heard it on a commercial and love it. I’ll probably listen to it on repeat for a good week or two and then hate it. That’s how I roll. Anyways, I had […]
Jem is living up her tummy time right now. She is starting to do this silly inchworm thing where she buries her head into the ground and sticks her booty in the air, then wiggles like crazy in an attempt to scoot around. We are so far from having a baby proof house. Slow down […]
Before Jemma arrived I did a significant amount of research on vaccinations. Much of it is available here. As a part of my research I asked my dear friend, Tishra of the The Beeson Beat, to share her perspective. Tishra is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Health Policy at George Washington University in Washington D.C. […]
I don’t write as much as I used to in my blog posts, now I post pictures and links. Life of a mama who types 1-handed, I guess :) What I can do is read. I read during Jemma’s naps as she is cuddled in my arms and soak up the wisdom of other mothers. […]
