joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
I wrote this last week but wanted to save it for a Monday morning. I know Mondays can be hard in their own unique way, so here’s a little bit encouragement if you’re in need.

One of my dear mama friends (she has two littles: a four-month old and a 2-year old) taught me early on how to survive living in Los Angeles. You bring your kids to the beach, and you start going at an early age. And oh my, yes I couldn’t agree with her more. The weather… [Read More]
Summer is nearly here and I’m beyond excited. (And that’s a fact!)

I like to think we’ve gotten really good at two things: going with the flow and cherishing “the now” of life. I feels a bit unrealistic to create a plan and… [Read More]
Maxwell will be 15 months old on the 12th and that is literally fascinating to me. For one, where does the time disappear to?! I’m so grateful for all our memories we have created together since his birth. To be home with our babes is such hard work, it takes consistency and patience, and trying… [Read More]
We had “the big” anatomy scan yesterday morning at my doctor’s office and I admit, I went in to the appointment with my breath held a little. We like the surprise of finding out the baby’s gender at birth, but I always worry a bit that the tech will forget and leak the gender :)… [Read More]
