finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
We leave for Disneyland is less than a month! I’m going a little crazy because, well, total Disney mom right here! There is so much to think through! So much to be excited for! I’m crazy with anticipation and crazy with a healthy dose of worry too. I’ve traveled with Reid … a road trip to the beach […]
As promised … road trip tips! Friends, our Yellowstone trip was a mega long trip to embark on with kids. Max was almost 3 when we left and is known well for screaming, “I’s stuck!” whenever in his carseat. Jem turns 5 in the Fall and is much more patient, but still, 12 hours is a […]
1994. My first trip to Yellowstone. I had just finished 1st grade and was greatly anticipating our adventure to a new part of the country. My parents, grandma, almost 5 year old sister and newly turned 2 year old sister were all coming along in our ancient Suburban. We dubbed that beast the “Zoo-burban” because […]
When Dominic and I were having conversations about a third child one of my main convincing points was that we only truly needed one thing – a third car seat. So pretty much, this baby would be our super budget baby :) Practically free! When it comes to car seats I’m a bit of a […]
Every month, May until baby arrives in December has something big happening – graduations, birthdays, my 10 year high school reunion, Dom and I’s anniversary, holidays, trips … busy, busy, busy. The wonderful kind of busy. I have a feeling this pregnancy is going to FLY by; good thing I’m not anticipating us needing much preparation […]
The final installment of our vacation is upon you! Hallelujah! This one will be real fun because if you’re traveling to Austin (someday … ever … you should really plan on it) I’ve got a bunch of links to things we loved. We left Lubbock by way of a 6 hour road trip. My sister […]
Home, home, we are finally home! After spending almost all of February in Texas we’re back in green country – AKA, the Northwest – and so happy to have such a swell trip under our belts. The kids are smitten with the toys they missed and are loving bedtime more than ever because hella yes […]

Did you know I lived in Portland for almost 7 years? It’s where I went to college and where Dominic and I met. Jemma was even born there! Portland will always hold a special place in my heart – for many reasons – one such reason being the fabulous food! Around every corner, Portland boasts […]
Last week I wrote about my car supply box over at Baby Gizmo and I thought it would be fun to share a video on the same topic here! Awesome freeze frame, I know … karate chop those emergencies!!! Did you make it through the whole video? Hope so! What would you add? […]
