Love your (curly) hair.

June 5, 2015 · 8 Comments
Filed Under: hair + beauty, inspiration, Natalie

Natalie is 7 months old and already she has big, loopy curls with lots of natural volume. 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]

Books, baking, and bedtime routines!

Filed Under: books, for fun

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]

What is your purpose?

Filed Under: Faith, family, inspiration, mamahood

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]

Hearts of gold.

Filed Under: inspiration, shop feature

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]

Where have I been the last thirteen days? Oh, not any one place really, but also everywhere. (Yes, that makes total sense.) + I hadn’t been running much, so Monday of this week I re-dedicated myself and it feels so good. I’ve been running to a park that has a HUGE hill. Every day I… [Read More]

Life around here…

Filed Under: for fun, hair + beauty, Maxwell, Natalie, running

It’s time for a little “life around here” post, yeah? :) So I’ve got a new beauty secret for my curly hair. Wanna know what it is? A shower cap. You can stop laughing, I’m for real. On days 2 (and 3) of no shampooing I use a shower cap to preserve my volume. To… [Read More]

Filed Under: blog & handmade advice, for fun

I always enjoying learning about new blogs that are based around color, inspiration, home decorating (shop the house, anyone?), motherhood or fabric/crafts. These five categories basically sum up our home and my life, and anytime I have a free moment you can typically find me incorporating one of those themes. I have a small handful… [Read More]

A different kind of perspective.

May 4, 2015 · 7 Comments
Filed Under: Faith, inspiration, mamahood

It’s not so much about having too much or too little to do each day. It’s not about cleaning up the living room once the babes have gone down for their naps It’s not about having a multiple-page to-do list waiting for me. It’s not about having the entire day scheduled out. It’s not about… [Read More]

GREAT NEWS! I’ve been working on all sorts of creative projects, mostly little things and mostly with my babes beside me, but it’s progress! Great, wonderful, fun, “making the day fly by so fast” progress. My desk is a mess with various materials, a little (folded) laundry, and my red journal. I love it! Zack… [Read More]
