finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
This week we had the first glimpse of summer and it was amazing! 80 degrees in April, who even thought that was possible?!? With the burst of nice weather, I’ve been practicing being “fun mom”. That’s how this photo came to be. After dinner one night we stole away to the squirting fountain and then […]
Daylight Saving is treatin’ me real fine. I’m LOVING the longer days, fresh flowers, and sometimes warmer weather. In the last week we’ve oscillated (isn’t that a great word?) between rain boots and sandals, wind breakers and shorts, but all in all, Spring is good. Truly, I’ve been a little overwhelmed with all life is […]
No extra words today, just links and a little sunshine peeking through. Life as a mom is crazy busy … but you already knew that :) Bahahaha! I’m always about a new smoothie. We bought this and love it! And, I just ordered these because I’m back to running! My favorite, so versatile! Guess who […]
Are you officially a Disneyland addict if you think about Disneyland every day? What if you only want to drink out of your Disney mug because it’s the only one that makes you smile? How about if you find yourself humming Snow White and Cinderella tunes as you clean the house? Pretty much, I think […]
First, my squishy baby! Eek! Plusalso, these bamboo blankets are worth every dime. I had the absolute greatest intentions to stay up on my writing after Reid was born. I was recovering well and Reid is on the perfect rotation of eat, sleep, poop — he nurses like a champ, snoozes well for naps and even […]
It’s Christmas Eve morning! I’m not in labor and no, I don’t think I will be tomorrow either … so, I think I’ll spend my time playing some board games with the fan (my obsession!), reading (this will be book #39 for 2015!), and sharing a few of my favorite links from around the internet. […]
It took us two tries, but we made it out to cut down our Christmas tree this weekend. Which was followed by adorable Christmas-y kisses. And then Dom bought me an eggnog latte … because … super yum. Had Chipotle not destroyed my dinner take-out with the wrong salsa today could very well be a […]
Happy Fall, friends! We’re totally relishing in the season right now. I love the rain. Jem loves the leaves and cooler weather accessorizing opportunities. Max hates having to put on real clothes, naturally. Jem is thriving at Pre-K, Max has zero interest in potty training and is only somewhat entertaining us with transitioning to his bunk […]
If you hate Fall. Please, just go away. Fall is the most magical kind of year and I just love and adore it! As Jemma says, “You’re just a Fall girl, Mama!” And it’s true :) Above, we’ve got my latest pumpkin love, Pumpkin Smash from Jamba Juice. And below, just a little this + […]
Oh, yes, some little things about summer are truly beautiful. ^^^ exhibit A. Sublime + thrifty decorating tips. What you need to eat this summer. This mama. Just adore her. She’s got style. Read it in 2 days. AND #5 COMES OUT NEXT YEAR! We loved this movie. Now I love it even more. Too […]
We made it to Friday, friends! Such a victory for me these days. This Friday is extra special though because after my daily nap I’m heading out to coffee with a friend and then dinner with another! It’s sunny and an iced decaf followed by potato pizza drizzled with truffle oil seems massively in order. […]
