finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
20 Little Toes was named for one of the owner’s twin boys – hence, she has 20 little toes running around much of the day! Too sweet! At this lovely shop you can find hair clips, headbands, leg warmers and hats – all with a sweet flair for fashion, fun and comfort. I love […]
We’re on our way north, but I wanted to give a shout out to all of my readers who commented on my discipline questions post. Your words gave me food for thought and I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in all this wondering! I ordered this book to continue my research and emailed […]
Having this little lady visit me at lunch everyday makes the work week much brighter! As is my norm, thinking about Thursdays (my Friday) makes me all giddy and chipper. I can’t wait for the weekend! We’re heading north to visit my family and celebrate my baby sister’s high school graduation. She’s quite the stud […]
This is gonna be a long one, so bear with me and chime in on my few questions at the end! We haven’t encountered any discipline issues yet. Jemma is only 8 months old, so I’m guessing that is fairly normal. But, in prepartion for that day I’ve been trying to learn more about what […]
I had a jam-packed weekend. So jam-packed there are no photos. I worked on Friday – not normal – so the weekend started off minus one day. On Saturday Dominic laid a lawn and Jem and I flew solo. We drove south to check out a new consignment store. Upon arrival we attacked the $1 […]
I’m loving the baby-led weaning Facebook group! It has such fabulous ideas for non-puree food options for little ones. Recently, they posted 100 Baby-Led Weaning Recipes and Jemma tried out Banana Berry Breakfast today. It was a hit! Banana Berry Breakfast Ingredients 1 small ripe banana 1 T blueberries 1-2 T baby oats Method Mash […]
We’ve got some BIG updates … Jemma is a crawler! She made her first move on her 8 month birthday eve (yes, we obviously celebrate the little things around here). See for yourself: Jemma is a signer! I wasn’t sure it was true when she first did it, but we’re a few weeks in and she […]
I’m sure the title of this post sounds just peachy. I mean, who doesn’t just love all these things? Last weekend I got a bout of cold topped off with allergies. Life doesn’t get better, does it? Especially for a nursing mom who is trying to avoid decongestants. I’m a true martyr ::grin:: I stumbled through […]
Lovie dressed up in her fanciest yellow clothes for her Aunt Katie’s Master’s graduation. Before heading out for the almost 3 hour ceremony which she did surprisingly well at we took a few pictures. The rest of graduation and Dominic’s birthday celebration are on my Mom’s camera, so you’ll have to hold out for those […]
In the last few weeks Jemma’s hair has filled out quite a bit! She has wispy little bangs, an adorable swirl at her crown and curly little ends. It’s still a warm blonde color and I’m loving it! Remind of this when she has ratty knots or gets silly putty stuck in it like her […]
