finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m always curious what other mamas consider their on-the-go necessities. Am I the only one? Hope not! Because today I’m giving you a little peek inside my mom bag … Yeah, yeah. It kind of looks like a toddler/baby explosion. That’s what it feels like too. But really, there is a reason behind everything. With […]
That’s right. If your baby is teething I’m hear to tell you that they need a necklace. But not just any necklace, one made from Baltic amber. And no, I’m not crazy. Although my mama smirks at me in a “this sounds awfully fishy to me” way whenever I pull out my kiddos “jewelry”. So, […]

I ordered some bamboo/wool cloth nursing pads with a hemp middle. They are supposed to be amazingly absorbant and easy to just hand wash each evening. Do you have any experience with cloth nursing pads … or nursing pads in general. How many should I have on hand? Help us reach the first page on […]
Since all of our showers have wrapped up I have been sending out gobs of thank you notes and prioritizing what we still need. Thanks to many of our wonderful friends and family I was able to place some online orders for last minute baby necessities! This is what has arrived in the mail so far […]
I’ve tried to be a minimalist with baby “stuff”. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m doing a very good job :( In the beginning I had planned to just get a large purse for my and baby’s things. But seeing how full my own purse gets I can’t imagine fitting in baby’s things too. So, yes, […]
G and baby (33 weeks) in front of our very own Alice in Wonderland door This Liz Lange Maternity Dress has been my absolute favorite this summer! I splurged and bought it in solid black and a purple pattern. I always say “too much of a good thing is a bad thing” which usually stops […]
