finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
In celebration of Valentine’s day 19 lovely ladies and I are giving away an iPad Mini! I really really really hope one of my readers wins! And, a special thank you to Myranda for coordinating everything. Here are all the details straight from her: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 5 // 6 // […]
Oh diapers, how I love thee. Kind of. Back in the day – circa January 2012 – I had grand hopes that Jemma may potty learn prior to her brother’s arrival. It didn’t happen. Which I expected. That put me with two babies in diapers. And here’s all the nitty gritty on that. To boost […]
That’s right. If your baby is teething I’m hear to tell you that they need a necklace. But not just any necklace, one made from Baltic amber. And no, I’m not crazy. Although my mama smirks at me in a “this sounds awfully fishy to me” way whenever I pull out my kiddos “jewelry”. So, […]
Since welcoming Max into our family my shopping trips in town have seen a dramatic decline. Yes, I’m a bit cooped up, but I’m embracing this as my current season – one that I know I’ll look back on fondly. Being at home more I’ve had to increase my creativity when it comes to shopping.Thank […]
Max’s dedication … blouse, c/o Choix | jeggings, Kohls | boots, Nordstrom Choix, French for choice. Life gives us so many. We make so many. Choice is a magnificent thing. It’s also kind of a daunting thing. From sweet little decisions like clothing to monumental ones like having a child. It sounds cliche, but the […]
Oh, Sister of mine … I’m here to pass on some sisterly words of wisdom to you today. I’m not sure if you remember, but while I was in college I went through a holiday break-up. It wasn’t my choice, I was holding on pretty hard, but not for reasons you might expect. You see, […]
I wanted to give one final shout out to each of the participants in The Fabulous Fall Scarf Tour! I know I say it often, but supporting small businesses makes such a difference in individual families as well as our nation’s economy. So, before you snag a one-of-a-million scarf at the big box store, consider […]
Happy Thanksgiving friends! I want to wrap up The Fabulous Fall Scarf Tour on a high note with a peek at Prairie Pretty – the Etsy shop my sisters and I started this summer! Prairie Pretty has a mix of simple circle scarves, hair pins, and vintage finds … all our favorite things. And, on […]
I had great expectations of photographing the whole scarf tour outside. Alas, daylight savings plus cloud tears had other ideas. Boo! I won’t pretend to hate though. Library photos aren’t a bad option. Did you catch my brilliant spin on words there? “Great Expectations” for my library shoot? I’m surprised my SAHM brain can still […]
What do you do when the little ones are tucked in bed for the night? I quietly shriek a little because … IT’S MAMA TIME! Mama time is usually marked by a handful of activities – wrap up sewing projects, blog while watching Netflix, or grab a magazine and soak in the tub with my […]
“I am ABLE to face new changes.” That’s what Feleku, a scarf artisan in Africa, believes after partnering with fashionABLE. FashionABLE is a nonprofit group that focuses on creating sustainable business for women in Africa who have suffered from the effects of poverty. I couldn’t feel more blessed to be featuring a scarf from such […]
