finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Here is top number two of the Moody Mama spoils … … and to all the pregnant mamas out there you MUST get the pants I am wearing. They are Jolt Jeggings from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. They aren’t maternity (can be found in the BP Juniors section), but they have an elastic waist and are […]
Remember when I won the Moody Mama giveaway? The spoils have arrived! This is top number one. I added the skinny belt. Skinny belts are my new favorite thing. They make me feel like I still have a waist. Even though I don’t. Keep you eye out for top number two. It’s pink and plaid […]
I’m feeling a bit uneasy about splurging on third trimester maternity wear … I mean, I have less than 15 weeks to go. It seems more fun to save that money and buy skinny mama clothes post pregnancy pounds, right? Still, I can’t help but browse the maternity options out there. Thank you Nordstrom, Ann […]
I am brimming with angst and longing to do something creative. Something. ANYTHING. Often time doesn’t allow, so I sit and dream of a day with lots of time and energy and enthusiasm to conquer a project other than laundry. You see, yesterday I went treasure hunting at the Salvation Army. I mean, who can […]
I decided. Well, not 100%, but enough that I ordered the Litto Kids Retro Mushroom Crib Set. I can’t wait for it to come!!! For only $90 I just couldn’t pass it up. Dominic agreed. He loves my passion for a good bargain (and hey, I do too). I’m really hoping it compliments the curtains […]
I have been on the verge of a meltdown in regard to crib bedding. Like, “don’t bring it up” kind of meltdown. It is bothering me that much. Call it pregnancy rage or something like that.I can’t find anything I like that fulfills the criteria. Criteria for crib bedding, you ask? Yes, I am that […]
So, this is a week late which means I might not remember much, but hey … I’m doing my best to keep up with this whole pregnancy journal thing :)Last Monday was our 25(ish) week appointment at Andaluz. We met with Lucina and her apprentice, Lindsey who will both be attending our birth. Lucina is […]
Trina over at Look at the Birds hosted a Moody Mamas giveaway last week. On a whim, I entered. Remember my obsession with Moody Mamas?Well, since I’m a budgeting kind of girl most of my maternity clothes have come from hand-me-downs, Target, garage sales and Value Village. But still, I lust over Moody Mamas/Nordstrom on […]
My dear friend, Mallory, gave me a gift certificate to Simple Cloth at my baby shower last week. This weekend I spent it (better to spend than misplace is my gift certificate philsophy) on a Flip Day Pack which consists of 2 covers and 6 stay-dry inserts. Thank you, Mallory!!!Joanna over at Baby Gator’s Den […]
My Mom has dubbed herself “Mimi” for her grandma name. Mimi has been doing some crazy shopping in preparation for little one’s arrival. Lately, Etsy has been her prime shopping destination. I don’t let her order hardly anything (which does not make Mimi happy) since we don’t yet know the gender. But … Last night […]
Last night Dominic and I ventured to …Throughout the last week we have managed to put together quite the shopping list of random things needed for the new house. After wandering for a good hour (while making a wish list for our next trip) we gathered up all the essentials … and a few extras […]
