finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Being the disorganized mama I currently am I didn’t have photos ready for our recent What we’ve been up to … post. So here they are now … enjoy! . Mallory and I met up last Friday (with our hubbies and babies) and immediately swapped children :) I loved snuggling Olivia while Mallory soaked up some […]
Blogging has slipped way down on my priority list. Actually, it has practically fallen off the list. Something about having a little princess snoozing on your chest makes everything else in life less important. That’s right, it is a miracle if the dishes get loaded or laundry folded or a blog written. Life is just […]
Miss Jemma sound asleep in her Woombie! When I was expecting Jemma I loved researching about all the tricks of the motherhood trade. One such trick I found was the Woombie – an award winning baby swaddler..The Woombie is made of soft cotton with a bit of stretch. This allows babies to feel secure without […]
Mandy at She Breathes Deeply is a constant source of encouragement. Her blog is marked in my “Daily Reads” and I’m so excited for the adventure she and her husband are embarking on … PARENTHOOD!.Today she started the 30 Days of Truth and journaled on hate. Contrary to what you would think, this was an […]

The scale read 154.6 pounds this morning (I was 155 when I got pregnant and then dropped to 145, before bounding up to 186 the day I went into labor)..Now to just tone everything up […]
Yesterday morning we packed up and drove to visit Dr. Kevin for Jemma’s first pediatrician appointment. Dr. Kevin is only a few minutes from our house and being the smarty that Mama is, we had one of the first appointments (to avoid sick children and lines). Daddy and J ready to head in Dr. Kevin’s […]
Aunt Leah (one of mama’s dear friends) took the day of work and road tripped to meet Jemma for the first time. We also went on an outing to Starbuck’s! Aunt Katie visited in the midst of her grad school homework and student teaching … of course, she dressed Jemma in the best onesie of […]
My darling girl is 2 weeks old. It is amazing how fast time has already gone. She doesn’t have the newborn glow any more; she is turning into a little baby girl. Growing like a weed, I tell ya!. . .In the last week we have gotten into more of a schedule. We get up […]
