Ohhhh, baby!

It’s been sooo chilly here in Minneapolis — like 20* outside. And while it hasn’t snowed since last weekend, there’s still snow on the ground. It’s been so fun getting out my scarves, mittens, hats and warm jackets. I just peeked at the forecast and there are flurries in the future! Eeeeek :]

Bauer and I were out running errands yesterday, and it was so fun being bundled up. I know once it starts snowing it’s going to get a lot messier, and then Bauer will have to stay home a little more. But I did buy some really cute snow boots {wedge heel, even!}, so we can still go for walks in the slushy snow.

At our house you can find tea being brewed, mittens and hats on the front hall desk, candles being lit, blankets being used and a warm puppy being snuggled. And red nail polish sitting on the bathroom counter ;]

My Etsy “knit favorites” list was getting a little full so I thought it would be fun to share what I had bookmarked. There is some cuuuuute stuff and I’m excited to share it with you.

PS. my favorite is #6!

PSS. I know some of these items are crocheted ;]

    Yes!….. and don’t forget crocheted, because some of those items are crocheted.

    I prefer crocheting because it moves faster. You can complete an item in about half the time. My knit and crocheted items are here:

    I learned to knit last fall because a lot of my friends did and now I am OBSESSED with knitted items. I probably buy more for myself because I love giving the ones I make as gifts.

    I SERIOUSLY love the knitted/crocheted items. There’s something so wonderfully warm and comforting and just darn adorable with kids in them. I decided it would be better (ie-CHEAPER) if I made some myself….and oh my word. Like 30 hours later, alot of money spent on good quality yarn and more items with big fat knots…I’ve decided to recognize my limitations and continue supporting my extremely talented friends on etsy. It’s ok….I’m good with it. :P Thank you for highlighting so many AMAZING knit products…I needed help finding some new talented ladies!

    I just bought a headband/ear warmer very similar to #2 and I love it! I got one to give as a Christmas present for my bestie and I hope she loves it as well!

    #3 is killing me. If I had the cash, I would buy that right up!

JOY in motherhood & homemaking 🧺🌿💓✨

Reflecting on this today 💓🕊 When I reflect o Reflecting on this today 💓🕊 When I reflect on the moments I’ve felt my mind spinning, my emotions swirly, it’s almost always when I’m not feasting on the word of God. Not that reading scripture is the cure for anxiety —no! Rather, it’s hard to worry when we’re worshipping.

A quiet night: the furnace is running, the tea is A quiet night: the furnace is running, the tea is hot, and the whisper of a page turning. ♨️☕️📖 // We are breaking from school this week, my plan is to read a lot, walk a lot, and rest a lot. How about you?

I fought every internal comment I could think of a I fought every internal comment I could think of and took my kiddos for a looooong walk today before dinner. ❄️✨ There’s just so much work required to raise children! I’m feeling like a tired lady. But sunshine & fresh air are good companions to keep around. 

We came home and I made “the best dinner ever”. Max specifically announced, “it’s so great you’re launching new meals to the world”. LOL— kids! 🤣👏🏻💓
How about a little Wednesday night introduction? 😘Social media sure has changed over the years and we don’t always SEE who we’re following or remember WHY we’re following certain accounts. 

So, hello! As you can gather, my name is Maggie ;) 

I started writing online (almost 13 years ago) to share the handmade products I was sewing. My shop was called Gussy Sews. ✂️👛I love the community that has grown from sewing & sharing online.

Let’s FFW to today: Zack and I live in Michigan and have four young children (2 boys & 2 girls). I slowly left the handmade industry and walked right into homemaking, homeschooling, and encouraging women through writing. 💕📝

Motherhood has been very hard on me. (And not just because of how close in age our four children are.) It’s been hard for me because I fought for years to accept that *it’s supposed to be hard*. 

I mean, how do you effectively teach another person to know and love the Lord? Bc that’s how I think of motherhood: a calling to nurture others by studying the One who nurtures me. So I gotta make the first move: study the Bible and seek Him first. As my friend Autumn reminded me, vulnerability births transformation. 

(I’ve had to be really vulnerable!)

So, yes motherhood has fully transformed me. But even more so, Christ has fully transformed me. My list of “all that He’s done for me” is off to a beautifully long start.

Something else I want you to know about me: I stalled for years before acknowledging I have anxiety and depression. It’s hard to talk about this because of course this isn’t forever “my hardship”, but rather because acknowledging this means to heal I have to work through some really difficult things. ✨

But my friend Jesus walks alongside me. He’s already done a mighty work in my heart, including helping me process my anger in healthier ways. I’ve also adopted a heart for sisterhood, mothering, and Titus 2 mentorship.

Sometimes our greatest losses are our greatest gains? That’s what I’m clinging to!

How about you? Tell me something about yourself so I can get to know you on a deeper heart level. 🖤🖤
How do you play in the winter? // We had a really How do you play in the winter? // We had a really great time visiting family in northern Michigan. On my blog I share a few ways we played outside, plus I describe a memorable childhood game ❄️☃️. Did you play it as a kiddo?
We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens in the morning (HGTV), playtime before lessons, and not enough quiet time after lunch. This made for a really, ummm, unenjoyable learning experience. 

But today! Today we reset the rhythm, and we have had a much happier home & time learning together. 👏🏻
Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — t Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — think outside the box in terms of how you view the definition of “motherhood” 💓😘 (also: look at my little friend, she’s sooooo snuggly)
It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hop It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hope to bundle up for another family nature walk, knowing the fresh air sweeps out any & all frustration, inviting inspiration inside. ✨That’s something we all need more of.

Def one of my fav things to do.🎄👋🏻 We made it through our first week back to school since mid-December!
