finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Today’s post is sponsored by Pixsee. We’re thrilled to review this smart baby monitor! I’ve been keeping a very fabulous secret over the last few months … my sister is expecting! I’m going to be an auntie again!!! Suffice to say, I’m thrilled. The kids are thrilled. My whole extended family is thrilled. This little […]
When we moved during my first trimester I gave up hopes of having a nursery for this new baby. Maybe I was being dramatic and emotional (I was). Maybe I was lamenting the fact that we have been on the move for the entirety of my birthing years (We have). Maybe I just really want […]
A few weeks ago I saw this pop up on The Paper Mama’s Instagram feed and I so badly wanted attend the Portland craft night. But, alas, Portland is a solid 2 hour drive for me … not home anymore. And so, I was forced to kick off a solo craft night in hopes of […]
Nurseries aren’t really a big deal around here. They never have been. Jemma had a little corner in our room and a play space in our guest room. Max too, had a corner in our room. That’s it. Talk about depriving our children and saving money while we’re at it! Seriously though, we always […]
A friend and I got together this past weekend to craft mobiles. Seriously, when the mountain of laundry is piling and I can hardly keep my head above water, what on earth makes me think, “Self, let’s whip up a mobile this weekend!” Anyways … I love how colorful the butterflies are! I plan to […]
Our humble abode has 3 upstairs bedrooms. Dominic, Jemma and I share the master. Our roomie and longtime friend rents one room and the third is an office/guest/craft/play room. That leaves zero space for Miss Jem to grow into. Right now, I’m not too concerned. Our lease is only through summer 2012 so we’ll be […]
The Activity Room consists of Dominic’s desk (never pictured), our guest bed, rocking chair for reading/nursing and baby’s bookshelf … if you are wondering why the crib is missing, see here for pictures of our Sleeping Room!

When we moved into our new place this June we decided to set up a “Sleeping Room” and an “Activity Room” rather than a Master Bedroom and Nursery. It just seems to fit better with our lifestyle/parenting plan. The Sleeping Room has our little one’s crib, changing table and fabulous artwork by my dear friend Leah […]
I feel like I’m finally making some progress on the projects I have been talking about for months! Remember the Nursery Art I had planned? Well, it finally happened today. It isn’t mounted on the wall yet, but here is a step by step sneak peak of one of the three animals! Silhouette Artwork – […]
Not only did Leah create amazing fabric art as my shower gift, she also whipped up two snuggly creations for baby to love on. Meet Frog Prince and Slumber Owl … But my favorite part is the sweet little tail …
My dear friend, Leah, follows my blog and saw my post on Petit Collage. Rather than smile at its’ sweetness she got to work. That’s right! Due to the creative bug that lives inside her Leah opted to make her own version of the prints I adored. Can you say “blessed”? I am still thrilled […]
