finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Each and every day I wipe and scrub and sweep. So much. So so much. After myself, my husband and my kids. Mostly my kids. I’d say I have some of the messiest littles, but I know the crumbs and spills I encounter are just part of the 1 and 3 year old territory. We’re […]
There is no doubt in my mind that mothers, not yogis, are the experts when it comes to the best yoga pants! So, a few weeks ago I polled a bunch of my mama friends on their favorite yoga pants. See all their comments here! Obviously, comfort was the number one factor for us all. […]
It took me somewhere between 13 and 15 months post-baby, but I’ve finally fallen into a rhythm with life. Honestly, I roll my eyes and dare I say, judge a bit (so sorry, but true), when I hear of new mom’s returning to their workout schedules and cooking gourmet meals with an itty bitty around. […]
The other week I was over at Liberating Working Moms talking a bit about how I make working from home a reality. I love Tracy, the mama behind LWM, and am so inspired by the posts she shares. I was honored to share about my Desk For Success … Work from home? Piece of cake! […]
I wrote this a few months ago – July sometime I think. It took me a really really long time to fall into the groove with two kids. Like, one or two days out of the week went well, that’s it. Thankfully, everyone has aged a bit – me included – and we’re handling the […]
Don’t forget to enter the birthday giveaway! Oh hey – twenty seven! My birthday weekend was super fab. Lots of fun, family and adventures. Oh, and dessert too. Because I’m all about that. For as long as I can remember I’ve had pumpkin pie for my birthday treat. Tradition! Tra-dit-ion! Yep, that was Fiddler on […]
It was our fourth nap attempt. Almost an hour into the actual beginning of nap time. That means 4 rounds of story, Bible, prayers, hugs + kisses, milk, music and lights out. As I calmly looked down at my blonde haired firecracker I said, “It’s time to rest, close your eyes, go to sleep and […]
I’m always curious what other mamas consider their on-the-go necessities. Am I the only one? Hope not! Because today I’m giving you a little peek inside my mom bag … Yeah, yeah. It kind of looks like a toddler/baby explosion. That’s what it feels like too. But really, there is a reason behind everything. With […]
It’s true! Dominic has been back to work for three weeks now! Praise the Lord!!! He was actually offered two different positions by two great companies about a week apart in late April. We weighed the pros and cons of each and landed on the perfect place for him. He’s working for a national lumber […]

It’s been a lovely little break from blog land! I definitely need to do this more often. Unplugging is a great feeling, very peaceful and calm … even if I did stumble along the way and Instagram a few pics and catch up on Call the Midwife. During my week off I took the chance […]
