finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I tore the World Wide Web up looking for this photo! I found it years ago, clipped it and vowed to have a picture of my baby taken just like it. All I remembered was I thought I had found it in National Geographic and I was pretty sure the baby was from Mongolia. Well, […]
A number of friends and family joined me last Saturday for my very first baby shower! It was a wonderful afternoon of delicious food, wonderful company and some much needed baby gear. Thank you everyone for making my first shower so special! The honored guest of the shower … BABY! Baby has so many wonderful […]
This is my idea of maternity chic. I love the belt. I have gold sandals that would match perfectly. I saw this somewhere a few weeks ago and saved it to my desktop. Labeled it “Pregger Fashion”. Now I have no idea where I found it. If you know, or run across it … fill […]

Tasha, Karrington and Anton You can visit Tasha’s blog here. – Tasha is the wife of Dominic’s brother, Anton. Lucky for me, she bridged the way into the Bossio Family as the first daughter-in-law. When I came around a few years later it was easy to meld into the family since I had a sis-to-be […]
M’Lissa, Bishop and Mike You can visit M’Lissa’s blog here. – I’m telling you all right off … your life isn’t complete without a big sister. Scratch that, older sister. “Big” is not a term appreciated by older sisters (take note, Katie and Hannah). Most of my early memories with M’Lissa are documented in pictures […]
