finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Just to clarify … Jemma is twinning with her favorite people, you’ll see what I mean when you scroll down. I AM NOT HAVING TWINS! Uno baby in this mama’s womb! I’ve never been one to use special-for-baby detergents. Laundry is a big enough chore as it is and I’m not one to create more […]
These days I do three things. Try to find something appetizing to eat – the plague of my first trimesters. Sleep – lots. And run – as fast and as long as I can a few times each week. You see, before I found out I was pregnant I committed to a race. I even […]
You know what it’s like to snuggle up in your favorite blanket with a good book and nothing on your to do list? Add a warm drink and soft rainfall pounding the windows. Maybe your (or my) favorite score playing softly in the background. That’s what I imagine it’s like when I scoop my little […]
I’ve been in a bit of a blogging rut lately. First it was Texas and the recovery from that. Then a round of colds that slowly passed through all 4 of us. Bleh. From there I got sucked into a bunch of books and started spending all my evenings in the bath with this whilst […]
Nova Jacket, c/o prAna /// jeans, Gap /// scarf, Old Navy /// purse, Steve Madden from Ross /// sandals, Birkenstock Gizeh style from Nordstrom (be sure to use eBates to earn a % back at Nordstrom and all your online shopping!) Our Texas trip debuted temperatures ranging from 34 to 80+. Just today my sister […]
Ya’ll are just aching to hear about the 5K, right? Good news is … I’m staying up late to write about it! Great news is … I’m already looking forward to my next race in March so you know it must have gone decent! The running bug has bit and I think I’m officially owning the […]
Top, THML from Stitch Fix /// Skinnies, Vigoss from Nordstrom via Ebates /// Shoes, Tieks /// Bag, Exploradora from Mus Bags /// Hoops, Fossil /// Watch, Michael Kors from Nordstrom Heavens to Betsy! This trip turned out to be much warmer than I expected. No jackets or layers needed – it’s summer in Texas, ya’ll! […]
Happy Monday! This weekend ended on a sour note for all us Pacific Northwest folks who were cheering on our Seahawks. I’m a total bandwagon fan, but sported my tee and fancy headband with pride. I even joined in the actual game watching in the final 2 minutes and thus, got to see all the […]
Panda Raglan – Kid + Kind /// Skirt – Target /// Fleece Leggings – Target /// Boots – Nordstrom This girl. I really really like her! All moms love their kids, we usually like them too. Eh, sometimes they’re difficult and have rough phases, then the love is there but the like is on pause […]
With a picturesque snowscape it only seemed natural that we would attempt a family photo on our Leavenworth trip. I mean, all sane mothers attempt such a feat around the holidays, right? This particular photo attempt was a bit more exciting than normal thanks to our new footwear from Rack Room Shoes. Jemma adored her […]
My 6th fix arrives on December 23rd — a very, merry Christmas to me? To me! Obviously I’m super late sharing Stitch Fix number five from last month. But, I couldn’t just forget that it happened. Especially since I ended up with a piece I truly love! Here it is! And a peek at what my […]
