finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
All my cleaning efforts around the house birthed a hefty load of random that needed to move out of our lives. So, the other week we had a garage sale! Thanks to Dominic’s stellar signs and my appealing Craigslist ad we had lots of visitors and many swift goodbyes to all the crap we’ve carted […]
Deals kind of make my heart go pitter patter. Target sales? Love ’em! Goodwill score? Bring it on! Twice (or sometimes thrice!) a year consignment sales? Ohmygoodnessgracious, YES! JBF Olympia held a winter sale this past November and boy, did I make out like a bandit. Here’s a peek at a few of my favorite […]
I’m a lucky duck and have a Value Village Super Saver card. That means that the day before big sales, I get to shop with all the other, highly esteemed Super Saver card holders. Totally joking here, Super Saver cards are free to anyone who asks for one at the register. Their biggest perk is […]
This week I ventured out solo two days in a row. Go me. Ever since we transitioned Max to his convertible car seat (Sunshine Radian for the win!) he has stopped screaming the moment his bum touches the seat. Huge sigh of relief and answer to 5 months of prayers. Harvesting veggies | Suction tunnel […]

I almost hate writing this because thrifting is so freakin’ fabulous. But let me tell you, when Value Village tries to charge me $8.99 for a maternity shirt from 2003 I have to shake my head and wait around for 50% off holiday Monday. Feel me? I mean, if it is really super cool, I […]
source When I wander through the aisles of Target and Babies ‘R Us I can’t help but catch the registry bug. Everything is so small and cute and … sometimes impractical. Of course, everything has its’ purpose, but what do I really need? Not 10 rattles or 50 newborn onesies … that’s for sure.As I […]
source Partnering with Grocery Outlet (GO) has been such a rewarding experience and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! I’ve been a fan of Grocery Outlet for quite some time. I mean, hello … great prices and selection, often times a ton of organic options, what isn’t to love? Some of my […]
2 weeks … just 2 weeks! That’s when my mom and I will be the most giddy ladies this side of the Mississippi. It’s not my birthday and we’re not going on vacation. WE’RE GOING TO THE JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS SALE IN PORTLAND!!! Just Between Friends (JBF) is the premiere consignment event here in the […]
Heavens to Betsy! When I saw this high chair my heart started beating so fast – I had to have it! When I had walked in the store (a new one to me that I will definitely be back to) I saw a sign … “75% off all furniture”. Of course, this particular piece wasn’t […]

It’s not every day I dress up. Back in my working mama days I considered almost every day a special event – a day to pull together my shiz, […]
