Let’s talk about bad habits for a second: one of mine is wearing foundation every day, even when it’s summertime and I’m at the beach. It’s more of a bad-habit-turned-disability. Because the foundation I use provides pretty solid coverage — meaning my face doesn’t really get a tan when I’m outside, my face doesn’t have… [Read More]

Our next BIG (little) adventure…

May 12, 2014 · 56 Comments
Filed Under: baby #2, family

…begins now! Zack and I are beyond ecstatic to share that our family is growing and come October we’ll be holding a newborn baby. Yesterday was a very special Mother’s Day for our family as we anticipate a baby boy or baby girl, due to arrive late October. We didn’t find out Maxwell’s gender until… [Read More]

Blog, home and African inspiration.

May 9, 2014 · 10 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, inspiration, our home

I’ve been so inspired lately to really revamp my blog and the content found here that last night I finally purchased the Blog Life ecourse by A Beautiful Mess. I bought and completed Blog Love, their previous blog ecourse (written a few years ago) and loved it so much. I knew I would love this… [Read More]

What May has looked like.

Filed Under: for fun

It is May, right? I really had to do a double-take after I typed the post title. Whoooo. It seems there is so much going on, yet there is so much less going on than usual. May has been a good month for us, mainly because we did some major tweaking in April. I couldn’t… [Read More]

My wildflower.

May 5, 2014 · 5 Comments
Filed Under: mamahood, Maxwell

So, I’m going to go out on a limb and say Maxwell will not appreciate me calling him a wildflower once he’s old enough to know the word ;) but, he’s my independent, wild, “blooms where is he planted” son and I cherish him. Before Maxwell joined our family, we prayed for a baby to… [Read More]

Let’s chat about being brave.

Filed Under: family, inspiration, Maxwell

Years ago my dreams revolved around my career, which is how I defined myself as a young twenty-something married lady. But I can’t help myself and think of this quote by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, “If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” I’ve challenged myself with the world of handmade for years…. [Read More]

How to create imperfection.

April 30, 2014 · 18 Comments
Filed Under: craft project, inspiration

For so long I’ve talked (and whined and complained) about wishing I had more time to do “fun things”, that I almost missed an opportunity last week to create something imperfect. One thing Zack is so good at doing — that I admire so much — is turning his cheek to the mess in order… [Read More]

A weekend in the mountains.

April 28, 2014 · 5 Comments
Filed Under: adventures, family, Los Angeles

We are home from an instantly fun weekend in the mountains, and I’m honestly not sure who is more tired right now: Zack and I, Bauer or the babe. We’re all pretty whooped. Camping, you sure know how to make your own fun (yeow!). We left Los Angeles mid-afternoon on Friday and arrived at our… [Read More]

Life around here.

Filed Under: for fun, inspiration, mamahood

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve made a few changes, and the results have taken me by surprise — in the best possible way. For years now, probably four solid years, I’ve always (always!) associated myself as a gal who works a lot of hours and somehow the rest of life falls into place…. [Read More]
