finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Last Friday my best friend and her daughter visited us from Idaho! It was a dream come true to have our girls unite and play for reals for the first time. They first met back in October when they were just wee bits, then again at Christmas, but this time they actually interacted. It was […]
We had a lovely, fun-filled day … Delicious breakfast Church A walk downtown Snuggles Presents and, best of all JUST BEING TOGETHER! Here’s a sneak peak of our fun: I am a blessed mama. Happy Mother’s Day to you all and a very special shout out to my dear Mom who means the world to […]
Earlier this week I mentioned the Bloggers for Birth Kits campaign going on at The Mommyhood Memos. This campaign helped me decide on the perfect Mother’s Day gift … For my 1st Mother’s Day, I treated myself with a priceless present – I bought 5 birth kits for mamas and babies in Papua New Guinea. Why? Because […]
On Saturday we got all gussied up and went to Saturday night service. Good thing too, because the weather was A-MAZING on Saturday (which allowed for outdoor pictures and Jemma’s first experience with touching grass). She did a great job sitting during service and we’ve been teaching her to raise her arms and say, “Hallelujah” […]
For Jemma’s dedication we chose a special verse for her. We thought it would be a sweet gift from us. Something she could memorize when she grows older. Something she can tuck away in her heart and to remember the special day we dedicated our family to the Lord. We chose Esther 4:14 … For […]
Today we participated in our church’s parent/child dedication. It was a wonderful time to publicly share our commitment to raise Jemma in a Christian home and dedicate her to the Lord. Such a meaningful time for our little family! Thanks to our family and friends who were there to support us!
Jem joined me at work for a mid-day nurse in her adorable Valentine’s Day dress When I got home, Daddy and I enjoyed yummy steaks and sweet potato fries while Jem chopped on her new hippo toy Then it was off to bed :)
Jemma and I are spending our first Friday together with me as a working mama. “Yeah” for Fridays off and “Boo” for weeks away from my baby. To celebrate, she has a sweet treat for everyone. Not yet 19 weeks old and J Baby is a mover! I can hardly believe it … This feels […]
Cotton Babies had their grand opening this weekend. Why is this big news? Well, the grand opening of a natural product and cloth diapering store is always big in our world! Plus, the first 100 visitors got a FREE 4.0 Bum Genius diaper. Here’s the picture story of our Cotton Babies’ adventure … The store […]
Ok, ok … I know it’s 2011, but I’m still feeling so reminiscent of last year. I mean, I HAD A BABY in 2010. Last year will be special in my heart forever. I absolutely adore being Jemma’s mama. Gosh darn, I cry at everything. Like now … just thinking about my little sweetness. God […]
Dominic and I have resolved to make the verbage switch to “twenty ten” and “twenty eleven” instead of the long winded “two thousand and ________”. Yep, we are all over significant resolutions. Now, on to the fun stuff … in the big ol’ TWENTY TEN we experienced more than we could have imagined. It has […]
