taking a break ...

Life has taken over these days. It's not a bad thing but it's time to re-prioritize the use of my time. Will be back soon. Already missing the daily act of writing. Cheers friends!

today's inspiration

I used to do a lot of "inspiration round-up" posts. Fell off the wagon but have come across a few gems lately that I wanted to share. I also have a ton of posts started in my draft folder that I hope to get to soon. Baby girl is almost 7.5 months old and I seem to be spending more time hanging out with her more than doing anything else. And I am loving every minute of it! Have a great week friends!

three things thursday

1. A great reminder when life gets busy and loud.
 
2.. I was going to write a whole post about this but thought I would list it here instead. Looking for a great gift for a mother-to-be in your life? Get her a pack of bra extenders! I saw these in my drawer the other day and was reminded how awesome they were when I was pregnant, and continue to be as my body changes with breastfeeding. Remember to get her a pack of 3 and 4 hook ones because every bra is different. Trust me - this is an inexpensive gift that might seem odd in the moment, but the mom-to-be will thank you!
3. This was hanging in my grandmother's room in her care home and after she passed, my aunt wanted me to have it. My dad made this many moons ago and he is long gone as well. I will cherish these photos for years to come. And yes - that's me in all my half naked glory sitting in my grandma's bathtub.
