finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Leggings, Fabletics /// Tank, Old Navy /// Necklace, Ann Taylor LOFT /// Kimono, Just Dawnelle The Pacific Coast is my happy place. Throw a darling beach cottage, delicious food and my sand + surf frolicking kiddos on top and I count myself a blessed mama. Someday, I’ll own a little house here that I can […]
It took me 47 hours to pack. It always does, which makes me regret “vacations” before they even begin. I mean … it is W-O-R-K to assess your life and take all the essentials plus some. AND, believe it or not, I still forgot the kid’s toothbrushes and toothpaste. #stellarmama But, when all was said […]
Lil’ announcement for all my Pacific Northwest friends … I’ve got a giveaway for Wild Waves tickets over on olymama! Don’t miss it – you’ll have a blast, as you can see … I did!

We live and breathe by the school calendar around here since two of my family members are teachers. So, mid-June marked the beginning of summer around here. We kicked off the season of freedom, fun and family with a trip to Wild Waves Theme Park which is a hour freeway journey from our home in […]

Oh, Raffi, you have a song for every life event. What would we do without you? With the unfortunate events of Dominic’s unemployment, we’ve been blessed with some extra family time these last few weeks. Gotta look on the bright side! Most of this time has been dedicated to projects at home, although I keep […]
