Le “Be Dior” sous toutes les coutures by VOGUEPARIS I’m super drawn to any how-to sewing video, probably because it’s how I learned to sew (along with many, many library books). I love watching other people work, especially when I learn a new technique along the way. It makes my brain go into creative overdrive,… [Read More]
Dreamy days are the marrow of motherhood.
Yesterday was a dreamy day. All throughout the day I felt so deeply, genuinely happy, and it all circles back to the choices I made. Here are a few mental notes I made: After throwing Zack a mini-party at home before he left for work — which included bringing him coffee in bed, making a… [Read More]
Happy 30th Birthday, Zack!
It’s is a pretty special day for Los Angeles because today we celebrate Zack’s 30th birthday! Almost 11 years ago I saw a handsome guy walking across campus at Central Michigan University. His smile was so genuine and his personality so upbeat that we needed to go on a date, and ASAP :) And after… [Read More]
My latest embroidery hoop project.
So, funny story: A couple of months ago, my mother-in-law Cindy was visiting and we were anticipating our second baby being born (hooray, it’s a girl!). We spent quite a bit of time at home while she was here because I was either super pregnant and desperately uncomfortable, or because I had just given birth… [Read More]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Just last year we were celebrating Maxwell’s first Valentine’s Day (he was 11 months old), and now we’re celebrating with new baby Natalie? Life, you are crazy awesome.

BabyBjörn has polka dots! (and a sale)
Sometimes I look at Natalie and the next thing I know I’m laughing out loud with happiness. You guys, she makes the best faces (remember this one?). She and Max are both super expressive with their eyebrows and I love it a whole lot, especially on days when I’m tired from a restless night. Which… [Read More]
7 tips for meal planning simplicity.
Just recently we decided it was time to get serious again about following a budget (translation: stop overspending through impulse purchases). When Zack & I were living in Detroit and unemployed we followed Dave Ramsey’s cash envelope system. We didn’t overspend our already too-tight budget — I can’t believe that was almost seven years ago now!… [Read More]
Sunshine, soul-comforting food, sewing & my DIY story.
Our weekend wasn’t anything extraordinary but it sure was a good one. I think those are my favorite :) Zack and I had a mini-date at home during naptime (sushi & thai tea, anyone?), we went on a long walk one afternoon, and I cooked soul-comforting meals. We napped, baked homemade chocolate chip cookies and… [Read More]
I want to remember…
I’ve really been into podcasts lately and last week I shared a few of my favorites. But, I have a new favorite on my list: Grace Talks|Inspiration & Encouragement for Women by Edie Wadsworth (her blog is Life in Grace). Because podcasts are strictly audio I’m inspired in a totally deeper way, especially compared to… [Read More]
