where style meets strength
Like most of you, I'm celebrating the birth of the newest little prince; Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor (could there be a better name?!) There's something about a new baby that not only brings joy and excitement, but also warms the heart as we watch the beginning of a family unfold. While I'm sure some [...]
One of the most anxiety-ridden shopping excursions for women, might just be finding the dreaded bathing suit. Did your heart rate just speed up?

With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.Isadora Duncan The day has come and gone and my little firecrackers have stepped over the line of babyhood into all things toddlerhood. They have placed their baby-ness behind them and forged ahead, leaving me in a puddle of my own tears. Happy tears. Tears of [...]
Welcome to my little slice of life. The good . The hard. The lessons learned and the hope filled heart as I journey this crazy amazing thing called motherhood all while hanging on to the dreams I've carried since I was a little girl running through hayfields. I'm a model turned mom to my 3 [...]

Yet, when you live in a bathing suit, how do you change [...]
9 Years ago to the day, I picked up a Booster Juice with my baby sister and headed to the hair salon to get ready for the rest of my life. 9 years. On one hand it seems like a breath and on the other it seems like a lifetime. 2 degrees, 4 moves, a [...]
I have journaled my entire literate life. I recently found one of my earliest journals amidst other childhood memorabilia and most entries consisted of one sentence describing what I did that day. I went to school. Jenna made me laugh. My dog died. You know, that type of thing. Most of it is hard to [...]
