finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Ready to hear about the discovery of the year? It’s The Haircut Box … a bundle of supplies and lessons all about how to give awesome haircuts at home. I know, I know. That’s not your thing. You’re less than professional. You don’t want to mess up your little one’s hair. But trust me, you […]
Charlie is just two weeks away from turning two! We can hardly believe it – where has the time gone? Good thing is, he still loves a snuggle. And, for those snuggles, we’re lovin’ the new, bigger size of Tula blankets … perfect for growing toddlers. They’re called “throws” and the patterns are precious! Our […]
I’ve been running through different seasons of motherhood for eight years now. Which is wild because I thought I’d do one race, say, “Awesome, check that off the ol’ goal list!” and be done. But now, many races in and many, many more miles of training I am apparently a true runner. In fact, this […]
For awhile I was in a really good habit of recapping my reading each year. And then I wasn’t. But 2022 was *my reading year* … I read and listened to 133 books! Some were amazing and some were just so-so. But today I want to share the best books in a few categories. Hopefully […]
Today’s post isn’t technically sponsored but some items included in this guide were gifted to us for review. Well, hello there, February! Time to celebrate L-O-V-E! Traditionally, Dominic and I have not exchanged gifts for Valentine’s Day. We always try to go out for a little celebration sometime this month, but on the tail of […]
Some of my very favorite posts from fellow writers are round ups of their tried and true products. And now you get one from me! I scrolled all my purchases from 2022 and here you’ll find my “Best of the Year From Amazon”. These are all things I’ve told my sisters and besties to buy […]
Some items listed below were gifted for review purposes. I wouldn’t share if they didn’t truly earn a spot though! Ever since the Amazon catalog arrived in the mail my crew has been all, “Please add this to my watch list”. That’s what they call their wish list and I love seeing what all they’re […]
Some items listed below were gifted for review purposes. I wouldn’t share if they didn’t truly earn a spot though! ‘Tis the season for the much anticipated gift guides! I usually like to wait until after Thanksgiving, to give gratitude it’s due time to shine, but there are so many great deals already happening – […]
We spent the last week of October in Houston. Dominic had a trip for work and the kids and I tagged along. Best of all, I talked my mom into meeting us there! It was a wonderful week and I can’t wait to share all about the grand things to do and see around there. […]
Around here birthday season rolls into Christmas and with five kids – four of which are boys – I feel like I’m constantly on the lookout for the perfect gift. For us, the perfect gift consists of something both useful and fun, something that sparks imaginative and activity, and something that can be used by […]
I don’t think it’s any secret that I love Usborne. The kids and I adore their stories (sweet and clean and options for all ages!) and puzzles (sturdy and pretty!) and our homeschool shelves are full of resource books we dive into often. But, Usborne isn’t just books … and that’s exactly what makes them […]
