To Love and Respect
Somewhere around a year ago, when my husband and I hadn’t been married for very long, a woman in our church came up to me and gushed about how it was probably silly to say since we were still newlyweds, but she thought we just had the best marriage relationship of anyone in the church, and that the next time there was a womens’ conference, I should speak at it about love and marriage. At the time, I just laughed and thanked her with some incredulity, because I was still figuring out things like how to keep the house clean and cook a meal on time, much less how to…

Daily Life
Recently I’ve been wanting to introduce more daily life posts, because… life isn’t all about clothes, and my baby needs to be documented, and I want to improve my everyday photography. And… remind everyone that life, no matter how imperfect, is beautiful. So here are a few snapshots from a few weeks ago. This is my life.

Not because I was going through a bad time in any of these particular pictures or because the images themselves are depressing, but because I remember exactly what I thought of myself on any given day when these pictures…

The Tougher Days
Today was one of those days where I would really have loved to stay in bed and play Banana Kong all day. I don’t mean to say pregnancy is a terrible thing; don’t get that wrong. I love being pregnant, if not so much for the symptoms then for the knowledge that I’m going to have a child. I love this baby belly that’s growing and growing by the hour (it seems!). I love finding new confidence in what I’m wearing, and wearing whatever I want because I can totally tell people “Hey, I’m pregnant, I can do what I want!” I love this new sensation of a baby moving…
