finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
My little one has turned 6 months old. And, you guessed it, I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT! I have so many pictures to post of her 6 month adventures, but for now you can relish in our monthly photo shoot compliments of Sticky Bellies! … JEMMA LOVES … Feeling the wind in her face, playing with her […]
This was our fabulous Thursday outfit this week. Not really fabulous, but at least we got dressed. I wore blue stripes and when Jemma appeared at work with her nanny to nurse she was dressed as my little twinsie. Too sweet. Like mother, like daughter :) … Mama Style … Cardigan – JJ Basics via […]
In honor of Jemma’s very first 1/2 birthday we has partnered with Stell & Livi, a fabulous Etsy shop that creates adorable birthday hats, crowns and other felt creations! I’m telling you, when I see these sweet hats … I swoon! If you’re swooning too … you are in luck! YOU COULD WIN ONE! Three […]
Saturday is the big day! Jemma turns 6 months old and we’re celebrating with her first taste of food … a little bit of avocado. Jemma is still primarily nursing, but each week I plan to introduce a new food. We’re also going to start learning a new sign each week. I haven’t decided on […]
Jem is on the brink of turning 6 months old. I can’t believe it. She has also hit a new mental leap according to The Wonder Weeks! Week 26 of a baby’s life brings about a new concept – distance relationships. Jemma can now perceive how far away I am from her, when a toy […]

I know it, Daddy knows it, even Jemma’s nanny knows it. No outfit is complete without a hair accessory! Thanks to My 2 Lil Pixies Boutique Jemma has added purple into her headband collection. For the time being we have deemed purple her favorite color. We’ll see if it sticks! I adore the sparkly center […]
I had high expectations of our Friday. It’s our day to run errands and accomplish everything under the sun. I had a doctor appointment in the morning; Jemma was an angel smiling her way into all the nurses’ hearts. Then we went treasure hunting at Value Village. I had hopes of finding some Montessori-esque toys. […]
Our humble abode has 3 upstairs bedrooms. Dominic, Jemma and I share the master. Our roomie and longtime friend rents one room and the third is an office/guest/craft/play room. That leaves zero space for Miss Jem to grow into. Right now, I’m not too concerned. Our lease is only through summer 2012 so we’ll be […]
Check it out … another style post this week! In the spirit of remixing a la Dwelling & Telling and Kendi Everyday I’m wearing the same boots and cardigan from my last outfit post. Cardigan and Blouse – Gap Belt – H&M Trousers – LOFT Boots – Steve Madden Jemma usually wears 2 outfits each […]
I think we have a little thumb sucker on our hands!
