finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Last year I started a seasonal feature called Homemade Christmas. I whipped up a number of projects for family members and friends and had high hopes of continuing the homemade theme for this year’s Christmas. Sadly, with a new baby I’m not seeing many crafting days in my future. But, I did begin one project […]
I initially wrote this post for Danielle of Danfredo Rivera when she was on her honeymoon! It’s all about wedding love and how I just adore weddings. Dominic, always jokes with me that I’m just a lover of love. And it’s true! Weddings and all they represent are just so lovely! – – – – […]
Sad story. We haven’t made any head way on the new house lately. Most recently we submitted a wetlands report to the county, but the property still looks exactly the same as the day we put in our offer. Boo.To keep my mind on the bright side I’m striving to make our home away from […]

Our fancy lil’ Sew Swap was […]

Leah planned the best game for my baby shower back in June – everyone loved it and the prizes were genius! Pretty much, it was a basic game of memory in group fashion. All the cards were labeled with pregnancy/birth terms and there were coordinating candy prizes. Here’s the list … Twins – Mike & […]

Before Dominic and I welcomed little ones into our family we were AWFUL at eating meals together at the dining table. We’d fly in from long days at work and crash in front of the TV with whatever slow cooker or leftover meal I pulled together. I’ll admit, the lack of dining table experience was […]
Last month Dominic, Jemma, and I moved into my parent’s home. Since we’re in the midst of buying property to build, they so graciously offered up their spare room as our transition space.
