After I survive my first week back at work I’m ordering myself a present … you know the “you’re a hard core, awesome mama who can juggle the worlds of work and home with ease and therefore deserve something nice” kind of present. I have one week to decide which color. What do you think? […]
Cotton Babies had their grand opening this weekend. Why is this big news? Well, the grand opening of a natural product and cloth diapering store is always big in our world! Plus, the first 100 visitors got a FREE 4.0 Bum Genius diaper. Here’s the picture story of our Cotton Babies’ adventure … The store […]
After posting my Style 31, I realized you can’t really see my necklace … so, here it is! I absolutely love it! The Etsy shop I ordered it from is fabulous too. Fantastic customer service and lots of great mom necklaces to choose from.
Style 31. Post a pic of you in your favorite outfit. I don’t know if this is technically my favorite outfit of all time, but it is definitely one of my favorite “mom” outfits :) I’ve been wearing tons of vests on my maternity leave. They are the perfect layering piece for nursing and hide […]
With the wintry weather upon us, Jemma and I have taken to weekly walks in some of our favorite inside places – Costco, the mall, grocery stores and Ikea.

Without even knowing it I’ve piled up so much for Jemma’s first Christmas. Some things are just too hard to resist! I adore shopping for a little girl. It’s hard to believe that by next year she’ll be walking and talking. For now I’m going to savor every moment of her Christmas babyness. Here are […]
Jemma has had two trips to Nordstrom in her short life. Her first as a mama/baby date and her second with me, Mimi and Auntie Hannah. The first adventure wasn’t intentional. I had to make a quick stop at the mall for a return and decided to turn it in to an afternoon outing – […]
I’ve been perusing our family pictures and Shutterfly‘s lovely Christmas card options trying to come up with the perfect combination. Between the great blog coupon (bloggers get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly) and my past experiences with Shutterfly I’m thrilled to order our first family Christmas cards this year. I’ve ordered photo books, baby […]
