Filed Under: Bauer blogs, the pup

Just me & mom. Hanging out. On the couch. She’s my favorite mom ever. She even added a ‘stache to my pic so I could show my girlpup Piper!

today’s topic: Haircuts
Monday night dad cut the hairs between my eyes… They were getting so long that I could hardly see what I was doing or who was talking to me. (Actually, I just acted like I couldn’t see so I could keep doing the naughty things I do, like sit on the arm rest of the red couch but act like I didn’t see mom telling me to get off. Sorry, that was a bit long of a thought.) Mom held my jaw and dad snipped, clipped my hairs shorter. Have you ever had a haircut?

See you next week!
~ Bauer

    Hey Bauer! It was very nice to briefly meet you on Saturday. You are as sweet and handsome in person as you are in blogland. Thanks for letting me rub your cute face.

    Maggie: Thank you for putting together that wonderful little meet-up. It was so much fun. Looking forward to the next.

    My wheaten terrier, Remmy, who looks a LOT like Bauer, got his hair cut yesterday too! He goes to a place across the street from our house….it’s really handy that it’s so close. If it were warmer my daughter and I would have walked over to pick him up, but it was rainy and cold yesterday. :( Remmy LOVES getting his hair cut, and weirdly also LOVES going to the vet. My dog growing up HATED the vet…would shake and drool the whole car ride there. Somehow he knew if we were going to the vet or Grandma’s….even though they were the same route in the car….we would pass the vet on the way to Grandma’s house….which he loved. Not Remmy though, he loves to go anywhere and everywhere! Especially drive thru’s…most offer dogs treats, like the bank, McDonald’s, and even Walgreen’s. ;) Remmy’s haircut was just in time for his big birthday….he turns FIVE today!! We’re going to take him to the pet store tonight to pick out a special treat for his big day. His FAVORITE place to go. :) If Bauer is ever in Holland, MI for a visit, Remmy would love to have a play date. See you next time Bauer!

    Aw, Bauer’s posts are becoming my favorite! My husband and I always joke about what we think our dogs are thinking. Bauer is so handsome with his new haircut. My puppy Rocky always has to get them as well or else he runs into things. :)

    How ironic! Pip had her first haircut last night, and while we were clipping her- I said “You’re going to look so hot for your b/f, Pip!” Hehe…

    Hey Hey Bauer,
    You are lookin mighty fine with that lil haircut. That stache is pure hawtness. I get haircuts all the time. Usually I get them, and then my mom gets them. She always treats me first. But she got her hair cut Monday. And mine isn’t until next week. I forget whether I like going or not. I always have fun in the car on the way there. But once I’m inside I don’t like my mama to leave me. But afterwards I feel like the prettiest girl in the world.

    Love, Mylie

“We are preparing to wind down for the school ye “We are preparing to wind down for the school year with just a few more weeks of intentional table lessons. We will then transition to a lighter learning schedule during the summer months. Today I am grateful for the books and resources I’ve read that have helped keep me in my own lane. (Visit my blog to see a personal favorite.)

Even now, three years in, I appreciate the reminder to stay on the path that was designed with intentional thought just for me.”

I took off my “comparison / contemplation” gla I took off my “comparison / contemplation” glasses last month and it’s been soooooo good. See also: sooooo hard (because life is never and/or). I’ve been writing more, reading more, spending more time outside. Talking to friends faces and smelling their detergent. My heart feels lighter. I’m sharing a few updates on my blog if you’d like to read? 🌾🤓blog reading & writing is a much better pace for me. You too? Link in profile.

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.
