I Am Enough. I think it’s something every single one of us struggles with. “Am I truly enough? I have a great job, amazing husband, beautiful children, friends, a home to live in, etc… but am I really enough?” Somehow that message gets hardwired in so many of our brains, because everyday we see someone else’s highlight reel while we feel like we don’t measure up. That mom over there can bake really well and all my desserts turn to soup (true story by the way). And another mom over there feeds her children only organic while…
Last week, I hinted at me trying to experience all the emotions of motherhood and trying not to become numb to some. All of the feelings of Hazel’s pregnancy were coming back at me full force since it was her birth week. And one of the first feelings I had when I found out I was pregnant with her was guilt. I had JUST had a miscarriage. I got pregnant two weeks after I had a DNC. Of course I wanted to be pregnant again. I wanted a baby. But…I wanted the baby I had lost. I wanted…
Happy Valentine’s Day to all my mamas out there, all the boss babes, and mothers to be! This Valentine’s post is all for you! Consider it a present to yourself. I don’t know about about every one of you, but for the past few years, Valentine’s Day includes our kids. And we usually say, “ohhhh don’t worry about doing gifts this year…we just had an anniversary..blah blah blah.” So, we don’t get gifts for each other. And it’s totally cool! I’d rather enjoy a quiet dinner together after the kiddos…
Are you guys ready for some serious cuteness overload? I’ve found the most gorgeous, vintage/ school girl/ traditional clothing for your little girls at Dapper + Crown Clothing. They are tailored to fit your mini me perfectly. If you’re like me and like dressing your little girls in timeless pieces, these are calling your name. We received the Willow Dress and the Mackenna Dress. And I couldn’t even say which one I like more, because they’re both so unique in their own way. Hallen was sold once she knew the Mackenna dress had pockets. I had to…
Well…It’s Hazel’s birthday week. Every post just might be about her this week. We’ll see! I’ll try not to get too overly emotional in my posts or go on a LIVE video bawling my eyes out. I thought I was going to be okay with her turning one. I mean…I’ve had one kid already have three birthdays, and obviously I’m still fine! The parties were fun, and it’s been exciting seeing her learn new things and grasp new concepts. But now, I realize what having a baby is…not just having…
Don’t you love a cozy sweatshirt and finding a favorite tee? If you live in the PNW or are from there ( I’m not, and still love these 😜), I’ve found some really fun designs for you! Rainy State Threads is a small shop (you know how I love small shops)! And living in comfortable, cozy clothes is my life right now. Most of you young mamas are probably in the same stage as me. You want to be put together, but you need to be comfortable and really don’t have that much time to put into your…
Valentine’s Day is upon us! I recently got to try Divine Company Deodorant , which of course got me thinking about Valentine’s Day…who wants to stink around the love of their life, right?!😜 Kevin and I both got to try it (men’s and women’s). It’s a new natural product out on the market. Both of us gave it about a 7/10. It’s a spray deodorant, which isn’t really my thing. I just don’t like to feel wet, but the smell was nice! It’s a light fragrance. Both of us needed…
This weekend, we really didn’t do much. I feel like since becoming a mom, it’s hard to remember what I did yesterday…or even this morning come to think of it. I hate that life becomes a blur when you’re trying to raise tiny humans, but it really does. I had a meeting Saturday morning with some fellow bloggers, which was a blast! I always love getting to know other local bloggers and following their work! After that finished up, we just made a family day out of it, exploring our little town just walking around.Hallen…
