finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Now don’t get me wrong, I’ll be buying Jemma My Little Pony shenanigans for Christmas. I mean, that is what her little heart desires and we’re all entitled to a little Christmas want. For the most part though, I try to invest in gifts that are pretty gender neutral, things that both Jemma + Max […]
I think we’ve all read Tina Fey’s Prayer of a Realistic Mother, right? Oh .. you haven’t? Get on that, girl! And then, enjoy Leah’s version of a prayer for her son (and my prayer little Max too)! She whipped it up during one of her no show conferences the other week. Pure genius. And […]
It all begin with these adorable invitations courtesy of Lullaby Loo … My dear friend, Leah, stumbled across them and her imagination went wild with the mustache theme for brother. Leah had a little boy last September (and yes, brother, and her son are destined to be best friends), and she is all about finding […]
It’s not that I don’t want a boy. I always have. But, I am a little anxious, well, curious is a better word. Boys are my unknown. I grew up with only sisters and no close boy friends or boy cousins. See what I mean? Girls, I get. Boys … what exactly do you do […]
I’m on the hunt for some fabric for my little man. I want to make him a snuggle blanket – especially for him from me. Problem is … 1) I’m having a hard time finding/deciding on fabric and 2) Spending alot of fabric makes me nervous because I’m a very beginning sewer. We’re going to […]
Idea from Spearmint Baby & Mom’s Crafty Space I can’t wait to make these sweet crayon holders for Jemma and her friends someday! Yes, that means you Miss Olivia and little Patton :)
Since we don’t know our little one’s gender I’ve been searching for the perfect first outfit. You know, the perfect outfit for baby’s first Facebook photo :) These are the two options I’m leaning towards. What do you think? Left – Kate Quinn OrganicsRight – Hanna Andersson via consignment
Tracey over at My Sweet T compiled all of the gender wive’s tales to determine if she is having a boy or girl. Of course she had a tie, and I bet I will too … let’s see! If the heart rate is under 140 you’ll have a boy.I believe our last appointment was 154 […]
I’m still a bit floored by the amount of baby clothing at the sale. It was unbelievable. It was incredibly organized. I wll be going back every year. I truly believe the mall is officially the worst place to buy clothing. Everything pictured above was under $5 … most was $1-$2. I know, crazy. These […]
It’s a wonder what a 1/2 hour and Etsy can do to a soon-to-be mama … Clementine Kiss Baby Blanket Cuckoo Clock Onesie Little T-Rex Teething Toy Chunky Oatmeal Beanie Socks by Zarina Sweet Owl Plush Earthy – 7 Piece Party Set Lemonade Bib Moda Frolic Baby Quilt
I don’t recall when I decided that cloth diapers were my calling. All I know is that they are. I will be a cloth diapering mama and my baby will have the cutest bum in the world. Pictures of such will arrive in a few short months (only 6 left … how can it be?). […]
