I love making a good breakfast on weekend mornings. In my home it is usually just myself, my husband and my daughter, who is one and a picky eater so making a big batch of pancakes can be somewhat wasteful with only 2 1/2 people. One of my favorite bloggers Joy the Baker has a recipe for a single pancake! …
Sedona trip
Sedona, Arizona is only about 2 hours from where I live. A few weekends ago we decided to drive up for the day to explore. We just made it a day trip and it was the perfect amount of time. The temperatures are much cooler than they are in phx and the red rocks are so beautiful! Once we got …
Creating a place of comfort
I have always been a home body. Growing up I never really wanted to have sleep overs because I liked my own bed. In high school I would rather have dinner with my family or a close friend on a Friday night and stay up and watch nick at nite. And even now at the end of the day I …
Dear Jae: Part 2
Dear Jae, You’re 17 months now and still the sweetest thing my heart has ever known. I’m still amazed at your mind and the things you’re learning. Everyday you learn something new and everyday you become more and more you. I think the most beautiful thing to watch is you blossoming into who you truly are. I love seeing you …
Rewinding a bit
I like to think of this space as my own personal online scrapbook. A place where in years to come I can look back and scroll through my memories and moments. I can read on seasons of life a how each of them felt. In my last post “Let’s Catch Up 3” I touched on my daughters 1st birthday. Her …
Fall Bucket List
As the seasons are changing I’m realizing that like the weather changes, life as well comes in season. I know that may sound cliche but it’s currently where I’m at. I’m learning that it’s okay that some seasons are different than others and both feelings of contentment and uncomfortableness can happen at the same time. So much of my heart …
25 things about me
I love knowing the little things about people. I love knowing small facts that add up to big things in people lives. I enjoy knowing my friends favorite drinks or flowers to surprise them. I like to ask simple questions to myself to learn more about me as well. Sometimes when I get asked questions I really have to stop …
Let’s Catch Up 3
I have been away from here for a long time. An embarrassingly long time. Kind of like that awkward time where you haven’t been to the gym in months and are too embarrassed to go back. I’ve wanted to jump back in so many times but something has gotten in my way each time. Whether it is writers block, comparison, …
Mother’s Day Interview
Mother’s Day is a little different this year in the way that I am now a mom! Becoming a mom has been the most rewarding role! Being a new mom I have definitely needed support from friends to listen to me, give me advice and pray for me during this new season! One amazing thing this year is having one …
Quietly Observing
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I am a whole bundle of emotions. This year I get to join the club and be celebrated on Mother’s Day. I have always loved Mother’s Day because I love my mom. I think each year I love my mom more and more. Growing up as a little girl and still to this …
