finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
The threenager has landed! On October 2nd, Miss Jemma turned three years old and this first month has been awesome. Truly, she is full of a fresh zest and although we “fight” over who is the boss on occasion, we’re having a ball exploring and learning about everything under the sun. I mean, just today […]
I could write on and on of how Jemma has changed my life. But today, we’re busy. Because we’re three and busy is our middle name. We’re eating pancakes and watching Thumbelina and making a mess of all our toys. We’re going to paint pumpkins and order pizza delivery – her favorite treat. This morning […]

Earlier this month Jemma donned her “pwincess dwess” and “dancin’ shoes” and waltzed down the aisle of my dear friend’s wedding. Denise and I have been friends since college and I was so honored that she asked my girl to be a part of her wedding. The big day was September 8th at a gorgeous […]
Is it really possibly that I have a child in school. I think not. But, alas, I do. Jemma started preschool last week – a gaggle of sweet 3 year olds. And truly, that’s what they seem to be, a gaggle. Or roaming cats. I’ve also heard that term for a group of 3 year […]
Today is all about this little sassafras! It’s her first day of preschool so I thought I’d commemorate this fabulous milestone with a little ABCs inspired by Chelsea over at Sunny With a Chance of Sprinkles! I mean, I have to do something other than sit around and cry over my baby. Going to school. […]

Attended the most beautiful bridal shower on Sunday – aren’t these centerpieces presh? And oh the macaroons that were there (not pictured, obviously because they were all eaten). Kind of obsessed with pistachio and almond ones. Then today, we went swimming and saw a mermaid – Jemma was thrilled! Chelsea commented on my […]
