finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I know I’ve been going on and on about Jemma’s teeth. But between the rough bedtimes, interrupted nights and pitiful moans of a hurting girlie I can’t help but show off how her teeth are progressing. They are peeking out more and more each day and now that the pain is gone she loves smiling […]
The more mobile Jemma becomes the less time I have for quiet activities – also know as blogging. This is the season I’m in an rather than fight the constant go-go-go, I’m embracing it – camera in hand … On the rare occasion when she isn’t crawling and standing, Jemma still loves to be wrapped […]
July Goals – Week 1 CRAFTCreate one new craft from start to finish I finished a crocheted lemon for Jemma’s kitchen play food and am almost done with an eggplant. I also started on a little project for a friend’s baby shower. I’m going above and beyond in this area this month for some reason. […]
Here’s the scoop on my July goals progress thus far … CRAFTI decided to work on a bunch of my crochet projects this month since I can take them on the go. I finished the super cute hair bow Jem was wearing in her 9 month pictures. I’m also plugging away on a bunch of […]
I’ve been getting really lost in all my random goals and it is overwhelming. I’m going to re-organize, re-prioritize and re-assess things this month. Below are my goals for the month of July. They are simple, but that’s what I need right now. I need something I can accomplish for a little boost of confidence. Complete […]
Little Miss coyly shrugged her shoulders at me right after this picture.It’s like she said …Hey Mama, why are you always pointing that black rectangle at me? And my answer is …Because I can’t get enough of your sweetness! Love you to bits, little Jem! P.S. Can you say BLUE EYES. omg. Swoon.
A crawling babe must be contained on occasion. But not for long! Jem doesn’t let me forget that she feels a bit “caged” when I set her in the crib! At least she smiles her sweet gummy grin :)
Having this little lady visit me at lunch everyday makes the work week much brighter! As is my norm, thinking about Thursdays (my Friday) makes me all giddy and chipper. I can’t wait for the weekend! We’re heading north to visit my family and celebrate my baby sister’s high school graduation. She’s quite the stud […]
I had a jam-packed weekend. So jam-packed there are no photos. I worked on Friday – not normal – so the weekend started off minus one day. On Saturday Dominic laid a lawn and Jem and I flew solo. We drove south to check out a new consignment store. Upon arrival we attacked the $1 […]
I’m sure the title of this post sounds just peachy. I mean, who doesn’t just love all these things? Last weekend I got a bout of cold topped off with allergies. Life doesn’t get better, does it? Especially for a nursing mom who is trying to avoid decongestants. I’m a true martyr ::grin:: I stumbled through […]
I am overcoming obastacles in life and it is comforting to know I’m not overcoming them alone.

But I serve a God who does, and that allows me to rest. To […]
