Zack and I are currently in Michigan showing off our happy, chubby baby Maxwell to our families. For most of them, they are meeting Maxwell for their very first time, and it’s totally making our hearts swell. I mean, we are so proud to call him our son… it’s absolutely incredible to watch him grow.

Maxwell’s birth announcements arrived recently and its been a joy to hear from our families they’ve received theirs in the mail. Can you tell I’m loving all these first “mama moments”? :)

minted-gussy-sews

I mean, it’s been a true J O Y.

Selecting which photos to use for the announcement and then entering Max’s birth details brought back those precious memories of our first couple of weeks home. It was a very sentimental moment for me, especially since it’s so easy to only have digital memories of big life moments. We saved a copy of Max’s birth announcement for his baby book, which I know I’ll treasure forever.

minted-gussy-sews

Since his birth we’ve powered through a few rough patches, like short nights of sleep and a baby swing-only napper [whew!].

Some things that have stayed the same? Max’s love for bath time and his furrowed eyebrows. And they say babies can’t talk to you… snort.

Do you have a recent [or nearing] life event you’d like to celebrate? Well good news, Minted is offering TWO $50 shop credits to their site, which features independent graphic designers across a multitude of celebratory events: holidays, weddings and babies + kids. Yeow!

To enter, please follow the Rafflecopter prompts below.

    Hey Maggie!
    I used to baby-sit a little girl who only ever took a nap in her swing, well only ever slept in a swing or vibrator seat really – even at night! I ended up helping her Mom make a little doughnut shaped spot out of blankets under her fitted crib sheet to create the feeling of the seats, since that is what she seemed to be drawn to. Now she sleeps in her bed every night!

    Hi there! I am the designer behind the birth announcement you selected from Minted and just wanted to say I feel so honored you chose my design to announce the birth of your darling son! Us “Minties” (Minted designers) have formed a wonderful virtual network via Minted and Facebook and often post “sightings” of our fellow designers and where their designs appear on the web. While many others have many sightings, this is my first. So again, thank you thank you thank you for choosing my design for your very special announcement…it made my day. And from one mom to another, congrats. Motherhood is a very special ride! Cheers!

    Our little guy is turning 2 soon! Birthday invites or thank you notes would be awesome!

    On another other note, he also only swing napped until he pretty much out grew the swing. I was so nervous about it, but he transitioned easily to his crib for naps (he was already in there at night) and now naps at least 3 hours most afternoons! Sometimes I even have to wake him up because he naps so long! He’s a rock star sleeper! You gotta do what works and worry about what comes next later!

    I also have a small handmade business and you are such an inspiration! :)

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. 👏🏻

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.
