Hello mid-June. You’re moving right along, aren’t you? Because celebrating the little things that make our lives extra good is important, here are a few things I’m happy to call “a favorite” right now: – backyard pools. The small, plastic, round ones that your kiddos love to play in , but let’s not forget about… [Read More]
Selling at a handmade market…
A couple weekends ago I said YES to something that I knew would stretch me, but I also knew it would be super fulfilling for me creatively. I said yes to participating in a local handmade market, something I haven’t done for years now! At first the idea felt daunting (what did I just commit… [Read More]
5 things our family relies on / thrives on!
I’m not sure what came first, noticing one of our children having sensitive skin or wanting to be more conscious of the things we are putting on our skin and into our bodies? Either way, both are an excellent reason to do a little research and make some changes. While I was pregnant with Marigold… [Read More]
COMING SOON: Gussy Sews pop-up shop!
It’s been a bit quiet here on my blog, and for good reason: I’ve been sewing up a storm, getting new Gussy Sews products ready for an upcoming pop-up shop. If you are local to the Detroit area, or if you’re up for a Saturday morning road trip, PLEASE come to Birmingham, MI on June… [Read More]
Do you have a favorite magazine?
For years (YEARS, I tell you), I have loved Real Simple magazine. If I wanted to splurge on a small gift to myself, I would often bought this magazine. If Zack asked me for “something special”, there’s been a time or two when I requested a subscription. I never thought about why I love the… [Read More]
Gift ideas for mama dear…
Rather abruptly, just like a gust of wind blowing through an open window, I became an “early to bed” person. Perhaps it’s the I-birthed-three-babies-in-three-years (and no one’s sleeping through the night) that did it? Perhaps it’s because pajamas + evening tea + a quiet house for reading = sleepy mama? Perhaps it’s just because this… [Read More]
Would you eat this?
Do Wednesdays scare you? If we don’t have something fun planned, they can be hard for me. I like to get a little ahead of myself / the crazy and make this salad the moment our children start pulling out blankets for a living room fort ;) I find it’s best to just walk into… [Read More]
Can you ask yourself this question?
While visiting a friend’s house the other morning, she offered make two cups of coffee. (Of course I said yes.) In between sips and checking in our our many children, we talked about writing (how is it going?) and getting up early to read (what are you studying?). And then she asked me why I… [Read More]
Four books that have wonderfully changed my life…
It’s likely I read for all the same reasons you read: to quiet my mind, to bring stillness to an often over-active day, to learn something new, to try out new emotions, to laugh, because “leaders are readers”. One day I found myself writing in the sidebars of the pages, scribbling notes or underlining a… [Read More]
Give me comfort.
Where do we turn when we’re gaining no new traction, when we’re running in circles around ourselves, the mess, the uncertainty of it all? We turn to our comforts. Yet, how often do I turn to things that don’t bring me comfort? I’ll tell you: more often than I should. (I’m looking at you, social… [Read More]
