finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
We do not live in Kansas. Or even close. Actually, I’m the only one who has even visited. So, we get questions quite often as to why we’re fans of the Kansas Jayhawks. Why our whole family dresses the part during March Madness. Why Max is already practicing “Rock Chalk” as his first phrase. I […]
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Huggies, but all my opinions are my own. #HuggiesSlipOn @pmedia http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO Max, he’s a mover and a shaker. So, when we’re out and about or tossin’ and turnin’ at night, I opt for a little extra protection in the […]
We’re in full wedding swing around here. The countdown is on … November 26th is the big day! Hannah has purchased her dress, Aaron has his suit and the location is set. We’re working on invitations and decor details – it’s going to be fabulous! Hopefully Hannah can guest post some of her photos soon […]
A few weeks ago I purchased a Groupon for Great Wolf Lodge – it was our family’s collaborative gift for my sister’s college graduation. We were all pretty excited for the mini getaway … well, all except for my mom and I who had the joy of finding new swimsuits. Yeah – swimsuits post baby. […]
It’s true! Dominic has been back to work for three weeks now! Praise the Lord!!! He was actually offered two different positions by two great companies about a week apart in late April. We weighed the pros and cons of each and landed on the perfect place for him. He’s working for a national lumber […]
CHURCH … dress, target | lace cardigan, pink blush I first wore this dress when I was 32 weeks pregnant with Max. I love love love maternity clothes and other closet treasures pieces that can transition through life with me. It’s good for my pocketbook and it’s equally good for my self-esteem. This dress is […]
Lately we’ve accomplished a few projects that are really making us feel settled. It has been coming slowly because we’ve been doing other boring house things like installing a garage door opener, addings window screens, placing curtain rods, buying appliances (also known as necessary money pits) and having a front door peep hole added. It’s […]
With Mother’s Day just four weeks away, I’m kind of impressed that I’ve got all my ducks in a row. We’re planning an excursion to the zoo — again, because it has become Jemma’s happy place. And what is Mother’s Day if it isn’t about making your babies extra happy. I mean, this day wouldn’t […]
Our family is officially in hair crisis. Here is the breakdown … Dominic – Poor guy is losing his hair :( I unpacked our framed photo boxes from the move and when you compare his 2006 hair (our dating/engagement year) to now there is a stark contrast. He jokes about wanting hair surgery all the […]

Oh my heavens. I am drowning in boxes. And a teething baby. And I can’t find any of our towels. Yay. Moving is pure craziness! Don’t get me wrong, all kinds of good crazy, but I keep reminding myself that it’s going to take time to settle. And that’s ok because this is our home […]
