finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
In a different season of life, this week would mark the beginning of finals for Dominic and I. The mad rush of studying, exams and final projects before we could exhale and finally enjoy the Christmas season. Truly, it feels like a different lifetime, but in actuality our “school days” were just a few years […]
This article is sponsored by hello products (click to see them all!), a special thank you to them for adding a little breath of super friendly fresh to my family’s holiday season. Is it just me or are gifts for the mister especially difficult? Don’t get me wrong – I know exactly what he wants […]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of PAM Cooking Spray. GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED /// Dionna won the PAM giveaway :) As a busy mama I don’t have time to mess with difficult recipes. 27 ingredient lists are not even close to being on my radar. Multiple layers or sauces with specific […]

Well, most days I feel like I’m the mom version … I’m mom on the run! At least that’s […]
Remember when I shared about the upcoming LMNOP sale? Yep … I’m still excited about it! Even more, you’ve got a great reason to be excited too … One lucky lady (or daddy looking for a deal!) will win a $20 credit to shop at the sale ANNNNNND 2 early shopping passes! That means you’ll […]
Eek! I had a blast at the Just Between Friends consignment sale this evening! I found treasures for Jemma’s birthday – Minnie Mouse and a practically new Dora Pillow Pet, clothes and shoes for both kids and a Sesame Street potty seat to hopefully convince Jemma that her little potty isn’t the only cool one […]
We’ve got a whole week of school under our belts! Phewf! This is my first year as a REAL school mama. Our international student arrived on the 2nd and began her junior year of high school last Wednesday. Dominic takes her in the mornings and I pick up every afternoon. Which is reeking havoc on […]
