a DIY quilt for the non-quilter
When I started learning how to sew almost 5 years ago, I remember gazing at photos of beautiful quilts that resembled pieces of art. And I thought, “I’ll make those someday! You just wait and see.”
indigo shirts and a dirt road
When I think back on the 90s, I have such fond memories of rolling up to middle school every day in my older sister’s Ford Probe while she rocked out to Nirvana and I hoping that maybe we could pop in my Boyz II Men cassette tape for just a second, spending countless hours worrying if Dylan … More indigo shirts and a dirt road
my summer mom-iform
I can’t believe I am using the word “momiform” but it seemed like something a blogger would say so here you have it. This summer I have truly been rocking the same “uniform” every weekend. Because, you see, becoming a mom completely changes your wardrobe. And not in that I’ve-got-to-lose-those-last-five-pounds baby weight kind of way. But … More my summer mom-iform
DIY Baby Leggings
In a town filled with little girls in smocked dresses, little boys wearing john-johns until they’re seven, and monogrammed initials on nearly anything imaginable, I find myself to be in the minority when it comes to children’s fashion.
Maternity Photos + a DIY Lace Dress
Today I wanted to share a few 32 week maternity photos in my stretch lace homemade dress.

The sweetest/most random newborn quilt that you ever did see
I knew I wanted to make a handmade item that I could give to the baby, but I had never tackled a quilt before. Cutting and sewing in straight lines and squares is not exactly my style. You see, I tend not to do any thing that requires precision or following rules and patterns exactly as … More The sweetest/most random newborn quilt that you ever did see
What I Wore When my Water Broke: our birth story part 1
What Happened that Day: Dear Liam, You decided to be born on Valentines day. Which makes perfect sense as that is the day we celebrate love. And now we will always celebrate that day and the love that made you and brought you into the world. Valentines Day was not “the plan.” You were due to come on February … More What I Wore When my Water Broke: our birth story part 1
Tight Dresses + Big Bellies
So recently I got all dressed up for a dinner party in a flowy, boho, A- line shaped top. Lace on the neckline. Racer back cut. Super cute. Super comfortable. But when I walked out the door, Will said “hmm you don’t look pregnant in that shirt.” To which I replied “How is that possible, look at … More Tight Dresses + Big Bellies
