{7 favorites from The Land of Nod // baby toy inspiration.}

Filed Under: baby things, blog/craft events, for fun

Ten weeks ago my healthy blue-eyed baby stared into my blue eyes for the very first time. I snuggled my face in his neck and took a long, deep breath. For 27 years I waited for this very day — the day when I held my son for the very first time. This heartbeat of… [Read More]

Filed Under: Maxwell

When I was pregnant for Maxwell, and shortly after we moved to Los Angeles, I visited a baby boutique in Santa Monica called Giggle. I’ll admit it, I was itching for some cute itty bitty baby stuff to buy for our sweet Babe ;) I was hardly past my first trimester, maybe 15 or 16… [Read More]

{Coming to the Gussy shop later this week…}

Filed Under: for fun, new product

Yesterday, before Zack even came home from work, I suggested we have another Gussy meeting. We used to have them regularly, weekly, but these last few months have been so crazy insane that we haven’t kept to our norm. Owning a handmade business has been an incredible gift. I didn’t quite realize just how much… [Read More]

{A reflection on my first Mother’s Day.}

Filed Under: family, holidays, mamahood

Over the weekend Zack blessed me with a wonderful dual-day Mother’s Day. Not only did he spoil me on Sunday but on Saturday, too! We spent so much time outside, it was amazing. I also slept in both days, which is worth highlighting ;) Being a mama is the most challenging, rewarding title I’ve ever… [Read More]

Filed Under: blog & handmade advice

I know I talk about this all the time, but it’s so true — one of my very favorite things about the Gussy Sews community is the encouragement you all bring, to me and to each other. Sometimes it comes in the form of handmade, other times it’s business chatter, and some times [perhaps my… [Read More]

Filed Under: for fun, Maxwell, Vlog

A couple weeks ago my friend Joanna brought over a play activity mat for Maxwell to use. I swear, this friend is a true gift from God. She’s so thoughtful and fun to be around, plus she’s a mama — just like me :) — which makes our friendship even sweeter. Soon after Joanna dropped… [Read More]

There are a couple of really yummy yogurt shops near our apartment and –confession– I’m starting to see a little pattern on the weekends as we’ve been visiting them often ;) Because Zack knows me so well I love when he picks out my yogurt + toppings while I wait outside with Maxwell and his… [Read More]

Oh weeee, things sure have been different around here. Not only do we have an [almost] 8-week-old babe but my mom was here last week and all three of us soaked up her goodness. I knew from her last visit in March she would be back “soon” but soon came sooner that we thought —… [Read More]
