Maxwell is well into his seventh month of loving life, and it’s amazing. Sometimes I miss the newborn stage and how sleepy and extra cuddly he was, but when I think about what life is like now I don’t miss anything about the past :) At least not for too long! He’s still sleepy and cuddly, but he’s so much more now — he’s playful!
Now that he’s sitting and “rocking” and rolling from left to right, right to left, he’s so much more fun. And if you haven’t noticed, he’s so much more expressive! (Oh, the eyebrows.) I love every bit of personality Maxwell is showing us. Seeing him smile makes me smile, from deep inside my soul.
When I became a mama on March 12th, God gifted me with something indescribable. It’s a feeling, a knowing, a heart stirring. It’s blissful.
Throughout the day, Maxwell and I play together. We now have luxe carpet in our bedroom — which is so nice since half of it is Max’s nursery. We put a small white cabinet in there, which is perfect for blankets, pacifiers and burp cloths, as well as small books and wooden toys for playing.
We play peek-a-boo, “mommy loves you”, we read stories, we sing songs. All day long we are playing — whether on the floor, on the couch or in my favorite mustard chair :) Sometimes I just stare at him and suddenly my eyes are brimming with tears. I’m so grateful to be his mama.
Playing with our infant son requires me to be flexible, so wearing comfortable clothes helps mucho much. We’re on the second floor in our new apartment so I’m also carrying a baby stroller up and down the steps, as well as chasing a pup around. It’s fun ;)
Albian Fit is a clothing line that features comfortable day and athletic wear. A couple months ago they sent me these charcoal leggings, this coral zip with ruffle accent trim, this flowy tank in lavender, and this long sleeve crew shirt in pool. I’ve been wearing their items since, and they get two thumbs up from Gussy.

One of the beautiful things about our brand is that there truly isn’t an “ideal” customer- our swimsuits and workout wear outfits high school girls, 20-something students and professionals, young mothers, middle-aged women, and women in their 60’s and beyond! With classic styles, flattering shapes, and the right trending touches, our items really suit every age, —Kate from Albion Fit
Albion Fit has a really fun selection of women’s fitness and swimwear items, along with workout clothing. All of their clothing colors are in such relaxing hues, so even when you’re at home you can still feel good about what you have on. My thoughts: carrying a baby stroller up a flight of stairs (twice a day, ahem) and dancing in the living room with our baby boy (who has the cutest, chubbiest of legs) is way better than an “official” workout class on my calendar ;)
One more thing — Albion Fit is offering all Gussy Sews readers $20 off a $100+ order. Simply use code GUSSY20 at checkout to save twenty bucks instantly!
I have 4 ages 7,5, 3, and 1. I can definitely relate to the ‘mom workout’ although I started running this summer too. Very cute outfits!
I love the joy you share in your blog! I am a blessed mama of two teens and one preteen, as well as, a preschool teacher … The clothes by Albion would be perfect for my life… Btw, I love the coral ruffled zip… My favorite color by far… :)
LOVE Albion fit!!
Thank you for sharing. I love your style and well maxwell is just too cute! Love the young baby days – they are over before you know it!
I love their Flatter Me, Navy Zip Hoodie!!
I love the coral ruffle zip!!
i love a good comfy legging!
My daughter would look fabulous in any of these. The Flatter Me Navy Zip Hoodie would be my choice for her. Thanks for the chance.
(Maxwell is too cute. I know you’re loving it.)
The BREATHE FREELY TANK — CHERRY looks super comfy!
I love the Go Long crew… Perfect for chilly mornings & coffee on the porch. Since I just found out I am pregnant I’ll take a decaf, please!! ;)
I like the mantra yoga pants, they look comfy!
I’m loving all of their loose, but super comfy looking tops!! This after baby body isn’t shrinking as fast I thought it would, so loose is my friend right now!
I am loving ALL of her bathing suits, especially the black and white Show Stopper! So cute. I’m dying! Can it be summer now? Or can I move somewhere that is warm all the time?

I love their leggings! They have such fun colors like pumpkin & cobalt!
I have four children ages 13,12, 9, and 5. The “mommy workout” is great when they’re little, but I’ve had to put more effort forth as they’ve gotten older as I don’t need to chase them much anymore. Some new exercise gear would certainly be motivational in doing so! What I’ve seen of Albion fit clothing is very nice.
It’s so fun to watch Maxwell grow up! He’s such a delight.
Those leggings look super comfy. I’m always on the lookout for the perfect pair.
Love the illusion capris, and the go long crews!
I love comfy clothes that still look feminine! :)
Leggings are not pants.
I love love love the crops! And anything with thumbholes. One of each, please!
I can’t get over how adorably smiley your little boy is. I love seeing pictures of him. Never fails to make me smile!

And on weekends I take my guys in hikes..wine country has the best weather and views ever! Anyways! I could put that Albion card to great use!! :D p.s. maxwell, 7mo?! What?! Weren’t you just pregnant!? Haha
My father-in-law reminded me that I was probably more busy than I thought with our little guy. He told me that I don’t need to bother with the gym because I was always on the the move with his grandson!

Maxwell is so adorable! I love the navy hoodie, what a great giveaway!
I could so see myself wearing those Balance Bermuda shorts! (Of course, I shopped the sale tab!) Maxwell is only 6 days younger than my little boy and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching him grow on your blog and Instagram since they are so close in age. Thanks for this giveaway!

That “Flatter Me” hoodie looks pretty dang awesome :)
Their swimsuits are so cute – probably the cutest I’ve seen!
I really like the Signature Hoodie in Heather Grey.
I was wondering where you got your little one’s onesie, I absolutely love it and wouldn’t mind getting one for my little stink bug. :) Thanks!
I’ve never hear of Albion I’m gonna have to check them out.
I have SO been wanting to try some Albion Fit :) I love the petal pants!
I’m torn between the breathe freely tanks and the flatter me zip hoodies. It was briefly snowing today which makes the hoodie seem especially nice. Plus, it is cute enough to wear to work on Fridays (work in the schools) as well as around town or while just cuddling with my 13 month old…when she settles down for a moment! :) The optimum capris would also be great at home with her especially since my old pants don’t fit quite right just yet…
as much as I love the workout gear, I’m really taken with the swimwear! Particularly the blousy swim top … too cute!
leggings!!!!!
I’m a hoodie girl and they have a great selection.
Three cheers for comfy clothes in gorgeous colors!!!
I love the lounge crop pants! Perfect for a 5’1 girl!
The right clothing makes the day sooo much easier. I have two under two and need to be able to MOVE!
I would love a few pairs of the leggings! I have 2 kiddos under 2 and need lots of comfy Mama clothes ;)
I love the signature hoodies! So many cute things!:)
I like the Breathe Freely Tank in Cherry and Dewberry, and the Go Long Crew, with thumb-holes in Fuschia and Eggplant!
