Life In Prison

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been on a run of prison themed shows. Currently, I’m speeding through Prison Break, wrapping up season 4 as we speak. Be still my heart, here comes Lincoln Burroughs. Who’s real name is Dominic, so it’s obviously love since I love men named Dominic. Well, at least one man :) […]

To Find Grace and Tiny Bits of Joy

We’ve had a hard run lately. Max has been nursing like a newborn it seems and thoughts of weaning have entered my mind. Or at least night weaning. For my sanity’s sake. Jemma is myself reincarnate and as much as I’d like to say that means she’s an absolute doll, it rather means that she […]

Lie — The Appearance of My Home is a Reflection of Who I Am

  Honored. That’s how I felt when Ashley asked me to contribute to the Overcome the Lie blog tour this month. Mostly because it’s not something I truly feel worthy of, because it’s a daily battle to overcome these little lies. But that’s why I’m sharing, because overcoming lies is an ongoing journey and one […]

Word of the Year: Thrive

Last year I just wanted to feel settled. We had moved twice and Max was still a newbie. I was tired and worn and needed the year to be calm; restorative. Thankfully, it was. Here’s the best of 2013. I’m extremely hopeful for this upcoming year. I love making lists and organizing my thought; planning […]

Beauty Revealed Project

Late this summer I participated in a Beauty Revealed Project photo shoot thanks to the lovely LCS Photography. The BRP focuses on capturing postpartum bodies – the remnants of pregnancy and the reality of motherhood.   At first I shied away from the idea … me? Bare? I mean, I did it once … kind […]

Twenty

Instagram inspired me to dig deep and round up twenty random things I’m sure you were just dying to know about me :) 1) In college I was first runner up for Miss Portland. 2) I’ve never broken a bone. 3) I wish I would have gone to design school – specifically graphic or textile, […]

Overcoming Birth Fears

  Even if Max is my last baby, which I doubt/hope/pray he isn’t, I think I’ll always write about pregnancy and birth. Looking back over my accomplishments as a person, nothing stands out more than my experiences carrying and birthing my little ones. I am proud and not ashamed to say it. Not one bit. […]
