finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
If you recall, I was due with Reid on December 28th. My sister, Hannah, and her husband flew in on December 21st; the plan was for them to be with us for Christmas and hopefully Reid’s birth. Their flight left at 9am on New Year’s Day and when they left home for the airport I […]

I received the GB Lyfe Pram Travel System to facilitate my review.” “It’s a mama and the boys date!” That’s what Max says every day when we drop Jemma at Pre-K. He also cries that we’ve left behind “my girl […]
Today is such a wonderful treat! I have absolutely fallen in love with woven wraps; they’re such a fabulous part of the babywearing world! I first started using woven wraps during my pregnancy for belly support and now that Reid is here he has fast become my wrapping guinea pig. We’ve been rocking the […]
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 […]
5 1/2 years. Ya’ll, that’s how long I’ve been a cloth diaper mama. With no breaks. From one to the next to the next. Jemma and Max even overlapped for quite awhile! In the beginning I loved cloth diapering. It was so fun to find new prints and try out new styles. Then it just […]
It is every blogger’s dream to fall in love with a product and then have that company reach out to form an official partnership. Seriously, I’m still so honored that Taste Nirvana, the brains and beauty behind my absolute favorite coconut water, contacted me! Dream. Come. True. Like, the kind of dream where you smile big, laugh, and […]
When my chunky little man was still in utero I ran across the perfect birth announcement for him. It was from Minted, of course, and the moment I saw it, I just knew. Seriously, as I hovered over the preview, I could imagine my little squish’s photo and I 100% fell in love. The gold foil, […]
I’m popping in today with a very friendly (and unsponsored, but affiliate) public service announcement. It’s about both saving and earning money and is plain ol’ awesome in my opinion. You with me? It’s really fabulous! Meet Ebates … Here’s the deal … I’ve been using Ebates for online shopping for about 2 years now. […]
As soon as I found out I’d be having a little one towards the end of 2015 … or, as it turned out, the very beginning of 2016, I knew I wanted to skip Christmas cards. Actually, every year I want to skip them because 1) It’s a lot of work to gather and update […]
“This post was sponsored by Lionsgate as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” We all know motherhood has catapulted me into a deep love for books. I’ve always been a reader, but this season is something special for me. I no longer read for assignments or extra credit. […]
Forever January will be a month of new beginnings for me. Everyone gets that vibe at the start of the year, I suppose, but it especially rings true for me since Reid arrived on January 1st. It’s just all so new and although I feel like I’m perpetually behind, it’s refreshing to turn the calendar […]
