finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
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 […]
A new year means a new book list! I’m a pretty happy camper when I’ve got a good book to look forward to each evening. I do most of my reading in the bath tub; it’s the perfect way to wind down from the day. With bath salts. And wine. Or coconut water. I aim […]
Once upon a time, I read that coconut water was good for you. I think it was in the context of birth fuel. Like, forget Gatorade and all its not great ingredients and opt for something more natural. Usually I’m a water girl. It’s my beverage of choice, the one healthy trait I seem to […]
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 […]
