finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Baby has been kicking around for quite some time now. I think I felt the first flutters around 16 weeks. Now, baby has quite the legs and is kicking like crazy! In honor of the World Cup, Dominic felt our little one’s movement for the first time last week (at 24 weeks). Baby must have […]
After a long weekend of making our house a home we are finally putting on the finishing touches. We have a sweet, little cradle camping out in the corner of the living room … just waiting for our baby’s arrival.
This move has left me with 2 thoughts … Stuff is a bother. Opening boxes of “Misc.” is frustrating. Who needs “Misc.” in their life? On many occasions I was tempted to just move the whole box into the garage sale pile. But then I’d stop, “What if there was a treasure stuffed inside?” Alas, […]
6 months {24 weeks}
Even though the weather is hardly warm enough to label today the official “kick off of summer” I figured I would celebrate with a pop of color and a 6 month bump picture. What are you doing on the first day of summer?

Just 5 weeks ago Mallory and I had our bestie bump picture … the little ones are definitely growing like crazy!
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 […]
No need to sugar coat things. Moving is tough. It’s unsettling to be in a new place that doesn’t yet feel like home. Moving isn’t fun and I prefer fun. Yesterday morning I couldn’t find the box with my hairspray. I guess I was the ring leader for a new holiday — “Flat Hair Day”. […]
