finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
On Saturday Mom, Auntie Hannah, Jemma and I drove to Seattle to visit the Kate Quinn Organics Outlet. Because that’s what bargain hunters do. They find something they love and then find out how to get it on sale. We scored on a number of items including the next size up of my all-time favorite […]
Some super fashionable blog mamas are posting their Fall fashions each and every day. This mama doesn’t get fully dressed every day, so our Fall fashions will be on a more weekly basis. Or maybe quarterly depending on how motivated I get :).Yesterday Jemma and I met Daddy for lunch which called for real clothes, […]
Since we don’t know our little one’s gender I’ve been searching for the perfect first outfit. You know, the perfect outfit for baby’s first Facebook photo :) These are the two options I’m leaning towards. What do you think? Left – Kate Quinn OrganicsRight – Hanna Andersson via consignment
Since all of our showers have wrapped up I have been sending out gobs of thank you notes and prioritizing what we still need. Thanks to many of our wonderful friends and family I was able to place some online orders for last minute baby necessities! This is what has arrived in the mail so far […]
Our baby mobile is finally ours!!! After much Craigslist searching on Dominic’s part and anguish on my part (I mean, we are mere days away from having a child and only had a 2-seater car until today) our family has a family-size car. I am brimming with excitment! It’s a 1999 Honda CRV. It is an […]
I’ve tried to be a minimalist with baby “stuff”. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m doing a very good job :( In the beginning I had planned to just get a large purse for my and baby’s things. But seeing how full my own purse gets I can’t imagine fitting in baby’s things too. So, yes, […]
I’m sure you were all wondering what I meant by “pillow with arms” when I added it to my birth center packing list. Well, this is it! I remember my Mom had one of these when my sisters were born. It was the perfect nursing pillow. Doesn’t squish. Perfect prop in bed or on the […]
Something about a blend of fruit and ice on these hot days has been exactly what I need. Of course, it helps when the Protein Berry Workout with Soy Protein has 22 grams of protein in a power size, 1/4 of the protein I strive to get everyday. The deal is sealed when I have […]
G and baby (33 weeks) in front of our very own Alice in Wonderland door This Liz Lange Maternity Dress has been my absolute favorite this summer! I splurged and bought it in solid black and a purple pattern. I always say “too much of a good thing is a bad thing” which usually stops […]
I have a little stash of Target gift cards which are burning a hole in my pocket. I desperately want to go crazy getting cute and necessary baby items from our registry. But, alas, I’m trying to hold off. Primary for these pink ruffle butt diapers. If I don’t have a girl these could haunt […]
Katie and Hannah (Baby’s Aunties) have been having a friendly competition of “Favorite Aunt”. Today Katie gets mass brownie points! She took a break from her busy graduate classes/homework to pick up two new FuzziBuns cloth diapers that we found of Craigslist. Icing on the brownie was the price … $10 FOR TWO!!! Thanks Auntie […]
