on Christmas Tips & Sweet Memories {more from Hometown Christmas}
I should really share a recipe from Hometown Christmas (and I will, promise!) but what I really love in this cookbook are the sweet little tips, quotes and Christmas memories. Here are some of my favorite tips – there’s one at the bottom of almost every...on The Boy at 23 months
I haven’t done a monthly update in, well, months, so I thought I’d pop in with his 23 month update. Since the next one will not be in months but in years. WHAT?! The Boy is growing and learning and talking and running. Fast. And talking a lot. Just today,...on Hometown Christmas: a Gooseberry Patch review & giveaway!
I decided this weekend that during the month of November, I am going to physically prepare for Christmas.

I was able to slide into a last minute headshot slot last month at the Allume conference.

details: Due in April {Easter week!}. Currently 10w4d and feeling horrible – awful nausea, headaches, and fatigue. I’m on progesterone for a couple more weeks, zofran for the nausea, and extra vitamin D and B6. We’ve had two ultrasounds and both were...on showing myself grace {a OneWord365 update}
I’ve realized this week that I’ve been slowly chipping away at reaching my OneWord365 for 2013, but haven’t done even one update. Oops =) The word I chose for my year was ‘soft’, and though I haven’t done an official update...on the parade of perfect that I don’t see
I keep reading posts about how everyone only shares the shiny pretty parts of their lives. Posts about how we have to stop comparing our lives to others, because all the others are only sharing the best parts of theirs. Posts about how we should be real with each...Meet Anna
