finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Going home is always a whirlwind of family fun and get togethers with friends … my favorite kind of craziness. This weekend I met my crafty friend, Leah, for a cup of joe (ok, it was really an white chocolate coconut americano for her and a vanilla chai for me). We bantered about our summer […]
This weekend I found a navy maxi skirt from Forever 21 at Plato’s Closet (one of my favorite second hand shops). It was only $8 and has an elastic waist so of course it was a must for my growing tummy wardrobe! Here I am sporting my new BFF at work today … Photo by […]
Beware little one, you have an auntie that loves you like crazy already!
Saturday was purple tag day at Value Village … all purple tags were 50% off! So honestly, how could I resist this matrushka doll onesie for my maybe baby girl. 50 cents well spent, for sure.

I’m thinking this might need to become a weekly post … I’m very interested in what all the expert mamas have to say about their mama experience, etc. So here is week one’s question:What special tradition/memory did you do/create while pregnant? Or, if you didn’t, what do you wish you would have done?If you’re a […]
If you came home from work on a regular ol’ Monday and saw this … what would you do? That’s right … scream your little heart out and thank God 100 times over for blessing you with the most incredible husband! Dominic is always doing special things for me, but this tops it all! With […]
I’ve been hesitant to complain about my pregnancy symptoms, because for the most part I experienced no/low morning sickness in the first trimester. I’ll be honest, if I had been super sick and you hadn’t I would harbor a bit of resentment, and I don’t want you all to hate me for my lack of […]
