joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
I want to elaborate a minute on the title of this blog post. I chose to include “currently” because exactly how I style my hair changes based on our current lifestyle. With each pregnancy my hair texture has changed and has taken about six months to bounce back. I’ve colored my hair using a box… [Read More]
We were out running the other day and I passed by this alley. I don’t usually stop while we’re out (only for the water fountains!), but this blue garage totally caught my eye. It’s easy to focus on the overgrown weeds, the cracked driving path, and the “forgotten about” buildings, but I can’t help but… [Read More]
Exciting announcement: we are working on our Summer giveaway bundle which will publish later this month. One area blogging has blessed me with is a strong community of handmade makers, mamas, and women of creativity/inspiration. I’ve always love this, being a blogger. If you are a shop owner and would like to join us for… [Read More]
Yesterday we spent the entire day at home. It rained on & off, so I went outside only to rotate our clothes drying on the laundry rack. I didn’t get to run, and it absolutely did not surprise me how much I missed my run. (I have a healthy addiction.) A sparkly highlight from yesterday… [Read More]
Our seventh wedding anniversary was yesterday and we celebrated all weekend long, hooray! We booked our favorite babysitter on Saturday and hopped around to a couple different restaurants, then spent Sunday together as a family.

Her hair is so fun (hello, hair bows!), and it’s made me think about how important it is that my actions & thoughts reflect positivity. Not just because I have a daughter, but because I also have a… [Read More]
Maxwell, 26 months // Natalie, 7 months These two kids give me infinite amounts of affirmation, not to mention any wonder about whether I’m actually doing what I should be doing. It’s a wonderful feeling to be having these positive thoughts. I took these photos yesterday and they are perfect examples of their sweet, developing… [Read More]
It’s been almost seven years since I wrote my first blog post. I’m not going to link to it or re-read it, but I can only imagine it holds a bit of scatter-brain text, with the purpose of those posts being vastly different from my posts five years ago, three years ago, and even, this… [Read More]
The month of May is nearly over, and for me that signifies a few things: Mother’s Day has passed, our wedding anniversary will be here so soon (seven years!), and my 30th birthday is the month thereafter. Each of these events are like hearts of gold to me. The women in our lives, the ones… [Read More]
