finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Happy Sunday, my friends! You know those things that just tug at your heart? They make sense and you kind of yearn to get involved? That’s how I feel about Fair Trade. It kind of goes along with Dave Ramsey’s idea of knowing where your dollars go. And seeing that we’re Dave Rams-ites around here […]
When I’m standing in line at the grocery store, how I do, and the checker looks at me with that pitiful smile as Jemma chatters about the chocolate popsicles I was pressured into buying (yes, I’m easily swayed by all 3 year olds who say “please” and bat their eyes) and Max bites through a […]
Leggings, Fabletics /// Tank, Old Navy /// Necklace, Ann Taylor LOFT /// Kimono, Just Dawnelle The Pacific Coast is my happy place.

So, before you snag a one-of-a-million scarf at the big box store, consider […]

I had great expectations of photographing the whole scarf tour outside. Alas, daylight savings plus cloud tears had other ideas. Boo! I won’t pretend to hate though. Library photos aren’t a bad option. Did you catch my brilliant spin on words there? “Great Expectations” for my library shoot? I’m surprised my SAHM brain can still […]
“I am ABLE to face new changes.” That’s what Feleku, a scarf artisan in Africa, believes after partnering with fashionABLE. FashionABLE is a nonprofit group that focuses on creating sustainable business for women in Africa who have suffered from the effects of poverty. I couldn’t feel more blessed to be featuring a scarf from such […]
