finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I truly envy the mamas who have figured out how to nurse with their regular bras. By the title of this post, you’ve probably guessed that I am not that girl. These here nursing tatas need mega support during their lactating days. For real. End of story, no negotiating allowed. Because of my fluctuation between […]
Since Reid was born, Jem has become the “little mama” in our family. This girl is practically on the brink of earning her own Mother’s Day; she is seriously that awesome. She has grown up so much since last year. I can hardly believe how smart and truly wise she is! What is your mom’s […]
You guys, I’m on a roll with my writing these days, not so much with my running. But, let’s ignore that fact and focus on these Nike FlyKnits? Darling, right? And I can vouch for their comfort. The best ever! I’m on a total closet declutter — shop that jazz here and if you mention that […]
Another Mother’s Day has arrived! I thought about running away today, or hiding … just for a day (or, realistically, until Reid needed to nurse). You probably know the feeling, that pull to find some quiet and remember what it is like to be alone. That isn’t my season right now though and as much as […]
“This post was sponsored by Doctor On Demand as part of a Blog Blast Activation for Influence Central.” I love my kid’s pediatrician, really I do. In fact, she was my doctor growing up! When we moved back to my hometown I immediately called and begged her to take my littles on as new patients […]
“Mom, you sound like a weally loud lion.” He said it with sadness in his eyes and a shivering bottom lip. I could see the tears beginning to fall and I opened my arms to my sweet, sensitive 3 year old. Uh! I totally suck! Who yells like that? Who loses self-control over something so trivial? Apparently me. Me, the […]
Reid turned 3 months on the 1st (what the what?!?) and although I feel like I’ve been back at it for quite some time, this month officially marks the end of my 4th trimester. Which, is of course, the perfect cause for celebration! I’m beyond excitement to bless one of you mamas with a HUGE […]
“This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.” Did you set wellness goals this year? I set some loose ones. Emphasis on loose. Because, as you all know, I’m all about grace. Especially in this season of motherhood. But, goals help keep me on track, so I’ve […]
Dear Lord, give me strength. Give me patience. Give me calm. Give me health. Help Max to listen. Make Reid take a solid morning nap. Help me to prioritize and be productive. Patience too, did I mention that? I need patience. Big time. These are the words that shuffle through my mind and off my lips most […]
“On your service, Captain Mommy!” That’s Max’s go to phrase when I ask him to do something these days. I don’t know where he got it from, but I love it. I really really love it. It’s so him. He also has been known to say, “Yes your majesty,” with a little bow (inspired by Sophia […]
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Huggies, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HuggiesatKroger http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV Reid is a magnet for conversation while we’re out and about. With his role poly arms and chubby cheeks, I mean, how could you not say something to this handsome little […]
