finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Mom and I found a fabulous photo album of her pregnancy pictures as well as the journal she kept while expecting me. Trust, storage held some marvelous treasures such as this. Who would have thought I’d be blogging 24 years later about my pregnancy … you know, an online journal. I’m sure she would have […]
My sisters and a bunch of friends from home are planning a fun shower later this month. Check out these lovely invites … I can’t wait! A special thanks to Mallory at Maysie Faye’s on Etsy for creating this digital artwork! She is very prompt, does lots of customizations and was great to work with. […]
It has been quite a busy week off of work … here is a picture recap. We celebrated Mom’s birthday with a fabulous dinner and homemade red velvet cupcakes from the family chef. We love holiday meals (in actuality we love every meal) with Hannah! Hannie made the best BBQ corn with veggie steak quinoa […]
Trina over at Look at the Birds hosted a Moody Mamas giveaway last week. On a whim, I entered. Remember my obsession with Moody Mamas?Well, since I’m a budgeting kind of girl most of my maternity clothes have come from hand-me-downs, Target, garage sales and Value Village. But still, I lust over Moody Mamas/Nordstrom on […]
Yesterday we ventured out in the pouring rain for some mad garage sales. We left with 2 bins of clothes, a butterfly play mat, toys, puzzles and a pair of Gor-Tex work boots for Dominic. Can you say score-o-rama? Here’s a touch of our favorites :) At one stop Dominic found a plethora of awesome […]
Hey Dad, It’s me … you’re little one :) I’m stopping by Mama’s blog to wish you a Happy 1st Father’s Day! She said I’ll be arriving in about 111 days. Aren’t you excited? I’m sure looking forward to a crazy amount of snuggling this Fall. Good thing you have your TiVo so we can […]

Yesterday morning I left one home and after work I drove to my new home. Our entire life had been loaded into a truck and off we went on another crazy moving adventure. Throughout the day my mom sent me picture updates while I was at work so I could stay involved in the process. […]
Saturday my bestie, Mallory, arrived in town from Boise. We walked, talked, drank decaf coffee, went out to eat, and went to bed early (like all good pregnant girls do). My mom and sisters arrived on Sunday for my first baby shower which was smashing :) Pictures soon …Today, Monday, is moving day. AH!!!! My […]
Cheers to Tasha for planning my very first baby shower … from 2,000 miles away! Here is a glimpse of the invitation style. I love it’s vintage flair and gender neutral-ness. A big thank you to Tasha and the other shower hosts for all their time and effort in putting together this special day!
I signed up for every birthday freebie in the book and we were able to cash in fast with Dominic’s 24th birthday last week. So, off we went to Famous Dave’s, a new BBQ place (or at least new to us). I had some awful nachos :( But, Dominic loved his BBQ plate. I tried […]
