finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
In early December I was sitting at a stop sign and I heard Jemma whispering to herself. I tipped my head and listened closer and this is what I heard … “T-E-X-A-C-O”. My baby was reciting her letters! During our errands that day I pointed out random signs with capital letters and she knew them […]
This little man brings so much joy to my heart. He is a constant source of snuggles and smiles and the bond growing between he and Jemma is absolutely darling. They are the sweetest brother and sister pair I know! Ever since he was born, I’ve believed that Max is a very old soul. Sometimes […]
Buying a home ain’t no simple thing. Most days I’m still reeling a bit that this place is actually ours. I mean, aren’t we mere 20 year old love birds just graduating from college? Oh, no, that’s right, we’re turning 27 this year and have added two bambinos to our clan! Awhile back I mentioned […]
I promise, as soon as I get my hair cut I’ll back way off on all this talk about my long hair woes and short hair ideas and how annoying my bangs have gotten and where-oh-where could my perfect hairdresser be … It’s just kind of consuming me right now. Every night I crawl into […]
Deals kind of make my heart go pitter patter. Target sales? Love ’em! Goodwill score? Bring it on! Twice (or sometimes thrice!) a year consignment sales? Ohmygoodnessgracious, YES! JBF Olympia held a winter sale this past November and boy, did I make out like a bandit. Here’s a peek at a few of my favorite […]

The other week I gave the 411 on my experience with Just Between Friends consignment sales. It’s Spring sale season and I couldn’t be more excited for the consigning and shopping adventures that are just around the corner! I thought it might be fun to give you a behind the scenes peek at the gal […]
Jemma has officially entered a new phase of toddler eating … picky! I’m willing that it passes soon! My sweet girl who used to inhale anything and everything has become quite opinionated about what graces her plate. There are only a few things I can count on for meal success right now and one of […]
I first fell in love with Just Between Friends when I was pregnant with Jemma. I’ve always been a thrifter, but welcoming a new baby was exactly the event I needed to let my shopping passion fly. You see, Just Between Friends is the ultimate baby sale. It’s a cross between a garage sale and […]
It was the summer before 4th grade. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and my family and I were at a minor league baseball game. Not my favorite activity, but hey, what’s an eight year old to do other than tag along? My mama asked me the score of the game and a squinted […]
This week I ventured out solo two days in a row. Go me. Ever since we transitioned Max to his convertible car seat (Sunshine Radian for the win!) he has stopped screaming the moment his bum touches the seat. Huge sigh of relief and answer to 5 months of prayers. Harvesting veggies | Suction tunnel […]
