Zack + I went to the cutest breakfast place this morning to snag some grub + gabbing before I dropped him off at work. And now I’m sitting at a coffee shop, the same coffee shop we sat at together a couple of days ago when we first got to Santa Monica.I tell ya… God must have something really amazing planned for us because it has been non-stop NO, NO, NO to most places we’ve looked at. We have one application in but we’re not sure… ugh. It is so hard. We know California is the right place for us, getting here and preparing our family details + jobs was a breeze. It’s finding a home that has been a little too hard. For the first time we’ve been here it’s cloudy + rainy. But it still smells like sunscreen outside ;)

My baby appointment yesterday was adorable. I smiled the whole time AND, I’m pretty sure Zack did, too. He is going to be the best daddy, he already is. Every morning he kisses my tummy and says, “Good morning, baby. I love you!” This morning he said, “Good morning baby, I SAW YOU YESTERDAY.” Made my heart melt.

And, would you guess that baby is measuring big? I kept saying, “How is this possible??? Is something wrong?” and Zack just looked at me, gave me that big grin I fell in love with over eight years ago and said, “Big daddy, big baby” — I was like, “what about ME? Little momma, little baby?” Snort. We’ll have a super detailed ultrasound in four more weeks where they’ll measure all the organs and lil limbs and will hopefully give me a solid due-date. Right now it’s somewhere between February 24 and March 4. Also? Our baby is about 6″ long and weighs 4oz. So so so so so so so, forever so precious.

Gotta get back to the house hunt. I have another appointment at 12:30pm PST and we are starting to feel a little desperate.

Keep praying!

PS. Since I’ve been offline for like… 10 days now, what’s everyone been up to? Handmade stuff? House stuff? Heart stuff? Leave links below, I’d love to read through them and peek into your lives too :)

    Hey Gussy!
    I know how hard the home hunt can be. Me and my husband just relocated to Colorado Springs from Central Texas…after house hunting for 2 days we extended our original trip for another 2 days until we found a place…you will feel so at peace once all the papers are signed! Lifting up you and your little family!

    I’m really enjoying reading about your road-trip adventure! Taking notes for me own! ;] I will probably be e-mailing you with questions. Anyways, what I wanted to say is that it took us time finding out house as well. There were a good amount of let downs before we found (and got!) the house we live in now. And I ended up being happy that those initial let downs happened because I love the place we got far more than the rest. It will work out!! xo JA

    Bwahaha. I LOVE the baby part. I am 5’2″ and my hubby is nearly 6’5.” I didn’t think through what this would look like in pregnancy when I said “I do” {and for the record that wouldn’t have changed anything :)}. However, I bore long babies and EVERY TIME someone CONFIDENTLY asked me when my twins were due. Mega SNORT! When we went for the 20 week ultrasound I always said I didn’t want to know gender but I wanted to know head circumference and approximate size….thereby reinforcing the GIFT my epiderals were :)

    I can’t believe after our infertility issues you and I have discussed we sent #2 off to preschool today. Here is a little just for fun post http://melissanesdahl.blogspot.com/2012/09/and-shes-off.html

    I feel like I know you, but I’m not sure if I’ve ever left a comment. I hope all is well in Santa Monica. I used to live in Santa Clarita Valley, and I miss California so much. Now I’m Nebraskan! It’s alright, I’ve come to terms with it. I do have exciting news I’d like to share. God is also moving me as well. I’m about to head out on a new adventure: MISSIONS! I’m a single 25 year old who just wants to do whatever is on her Father’s heart: to love God, and love people. I’m joining the ranks of YWAM Charlotte in 18 days and I can’t be more thrilled. I love telling people that I’m going on an extended short term missions trip. Missions is something so close to my heart. Wow, I’m done writing my novel. Stop by my blog anytime. I’ll be sharing my heart, but more importantly His heart on my brand new journey.
    I’ll be praying you find a place to lie your head!

    I’m 5’4″ and my hubby is 6’2″. We were like Mutt and Jeff. Our 1st daughter was 9 lb. 6 oz. and my second daughter was 7 lb. 11 oz. So you never know…both were 20-1/2″ long. 1st was C-section, second was natural. That was in 1984 and they don’t do a natural birth after a C-section anymore I hear. Both were great! I know God has the perfect place for your growing family. California can be tough finding the right house and town to live in. We used to live in the San Gabriel Valley in San Dimas. Loved it there but moved to Oregon in 1979. I’m be praying that something wonderful falls in your lap this week! Hugs, Diana

    How much have you looked in Culver City, Play Vista, or Marina Del Rey? The farther you get from Santa Monica, the cheaper. Don’t know what your budget is, but SM is super pricey and you don’t get a whole lot for the cost. But maybe you’ll find a steal! :) Oh…I actually just saw a house for rent near my neck of the woods in Culver. Don’t know how much, but it is a 3 bedroom and newly remodeled. On La Salle street I believe. Let me know if you guys need anything! Blessings, Ruth

    Hi, Maggie! YES INDEED God has something hugely important and intricately positioned for you and Zack in Santa Monica. Keep walking in tenacious faith. He rewards it richly! God is intricately invested in His purposes for you. He sees how you are honoring Him. He knows how important finding a home is to you. He wants to bring you to the home where HIS presence resides for your family! It’s coming. Keep talking to Him, seeking His heart, and listening to Holy Spirit as He leads you to the home that God has prepared just for the Whitleys! My blog home is found at lec03b.blogspot.com.

I used to spend all of my weekends up in the Venice area, and one of my favorite stops up there (that you have to check out asap) is Abbot’s Pizza Co on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice, order a slice of their salad pizza.. it’s my absolute favorite. And, if you haven’t been yet, we love love walking around 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, listening to the street musicians, and then watching the sunset at the beach just a few blocks over. We actually had our engagement pictures taken there.. Anyway. Have fun exploring, and nesting, and all of it :) Jen

    Seems all is falling into place…slowly. I have a feeling something awesome is in store for you. Happy to hear the hubby is starting work. It will all fall into place. You’re in a good area. I’m not sure if you’re looking for a house or an apartment. If you’re not really finding a house maybe consider renting an apartment, townhome, or condo? That could be a good start too. Just make sure there’s a way to do laundry! :)

    Hey Gussy, take heart….in my 2nd pregnancy the dr told me my baby was little..too little…she came one week later at 8lb 7oz. My third pregnancy the dr said the baby was toooo big..way too big, he was 7lbs, a perfect size. At that point I figured if I had a fourth I wasn’t listening to the dr anymore. lol Don’t worry, all is well and your little guy/girl will be what they are…just perfect the way God made him/her!!!!

I cried when I saw that photo! You and your husband are going to be incredible parents to that precious baby. It’s funny, when I was pregnant (had our first girl in May) people kept telling me to go on dates now with my husband and really enjoy it being “just the two of us.” Honestly? Our life is one million times better now that we have Camdyn. We’re a family of three, and we couldn’t be happier. Congrats to you and Zach!!

    Congrats on the baby and the move! We are in SoCal, but considering a move to Oregon. Such a scary transition, so kudos to you for doing it!

    Just wanted to say don’t worry about measuring one week big. With my first I was told the baby would be similar to the size I was (7lbs 9 oz), not my husband (10 lbs). I measured 4 weeks big for months, but was sure of my due date. When my daughter arrived she was 10 lbs! I’m 5′ 4″ so I was shocked that she was so big, but as a previous poster said, God knows what he is doing. If you’re looking for some support in the Santa Monica area, there is a wonderful place called The Sanctuary that combines midwifery, childbirth classes, parenting classes and more. Aleks was part of the birth experience with three of my children and she is amazing!

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. 👏🏻
