One dreamy gown

Guess what? We are invited to two military balls this year, the chaplain corps and Marine corps ball! Since I've been to my fair share of balls and have quite a collection of gowns at this point, I'm looking towards possibly thrift store for special finds!This gown would be a dream, love the color, silhouette, and especially the sleeves!

I quit my job


It was one of those bittersweet decisions. While I love my work family, I love my baby more! This is a very personal decision for everyone and right now this is right for me. I mean, look at those bright eyes, how could I leave those?!

The kale that saved the weekend


Husband got snatched away to work this weekend so for a pick me up, I tried this new delightful recipe. Kale with potatoes, mushroom, and sausage (we used vegan sausage!) topped with a fried egg, yum. Can be made for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and loaded with protein and healthy greens. Have I convinced you yet? Recipe here. I also snapped a few pics this weekend, take a peak!

That moment


I finally had that moment, the moment of contentment. For me those moments tend to be fleeting because I typically have a restless spirit, which drives me crazy. But this week with my big kiddo at school, I'm home with babyman and its wonderfully quiet and blissful. Help me to stay in this moment instead of longing for the next thing, Lord. 
"A heart at peace gives life to the body"

My mommy favorites (newborn)

The baby product world is completely overwhelming. So this is my list especially for you first time mommas out there of items I can't live without and use everyday with honeybee!


Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller: This has been wonderful to use with both kiddos and just the baby. I actually bought hooks for the handle and use it for grocery shopping too. I can steer it with one hand and it only weighs 20 lbs so lifting in the trunk itsn't too bad either.

Swaddles: One of the many secrets to baby sleep is swaddling. In fact by the grace of God Bo is pretty much sleeping through the night which is a dream come true, literally my first never did that until a year a half. uggghh!

Baby Bjorn: I know there are tons of carriers and slings out there, but this one is my favorite and officially approved by my first kid. I do hear wonderful things about the Ergo as well and may look into that when he gets bigger! I love how easy and fast this carrier is to get on and Bo even falls asleep in it, win win.

Aden & Anais blankets: These are wonderful and new to me! I received them as a gift and use them for everything....burping, swaddling, and keeping warm plus the patterns are adorable too.

Deluxe fold and go: This handy dandy folding pouch holds diapers, wipes, and its own changing pad.

Robeez crib shoes: These are wonderful leather shoes that don't fall off come in many cute designs and look adorable. P.S They have the cheaper versions now at Target and Old Navy.

White Noise App: This one is free and out of everything on my list is a must have for my baby. I play this next to him and he is out like a light. If you have a smart phone download for free here.

Nursing Cover: An essential for a nursing mama! I highly recommend this brand not only for the wonderful patterns it comes in but you can keep a visual on baby while nursing due to the neckline, genius.
