finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Jemma has had two trips to Nordstrom in her short life. Her first as a mama/baby date and her second with me, Mimi and Auntie Hannah. The first adventure wasn’t intentional. I had to make a quick stop at the mall for a return and decided to turn it in to an afternoon outing – […]
Remember my Baltic Beauty post? Well, I tried to re-create it. I’m going to try again later for a number of reasons … no pink ribbon, squirmy baby which equaled bad swaddling and lack of good lighting thanks to daylight saving time. In the meantime, here is the best shot …
During the week Jem and I spend a fair amount of time of the couch. We nurse. We cuddle. We match movies. Sometimes when she drifts off to sleep I fly around the house cleaning up and working on other projects. Sometimes I sink further into the couch and take a nap myself. Sometimes we […]

. A special thanks to my Aunt Darbi’s little girls for the cutest hand-me-downs. It’s good to have fashionable friends.
Some super fashionable blog mamas are posting their Fall fashions each and every day. This mama doesn’t get fully dressed every day, so our Fall fashions will be on a more weekly basis. Or maybe quarterly depending on how motivated I get :).Yesterday Jemma and I met Daddy for lunch which called for real clothes, […]
