I’m writing to you today with the smell of sunshine floating through our home. I can smell it on Maxwell when I sit as his side and help him with a project. It dusted itself on Marigold’s head, and I smelled as I nursed her before her afternoon nap. And it tucked itself into bed… [Read More]

MAKE IT: sausage, kale & tortellini soup

March 27, 2017 · 6 Comments
Filed Under: our home, recipe

Is there even a wrong way to make soup? I can’t image there is when you’re adding all your favorite comfort food ingredients ;) I find so much freedom in making soup, there’s very little to mess up and it’s a great way to use all the “extras” in your fridge and pantry. Besides, it’s… [Read More]

Why I make soup.

March 24, 2017 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration

Some days, the only solution is to walk into the kitchen and pull out an armload of ingredients. Chicken stock and kale, an onion from the pantry. Ground sausage needing to be browned and a swirl of olive oil. A handful of carrots and the grater from the shelf below. I sneak a crunchy bite… [Read More]

Filed Under: creativity, Gussy

  There’s just no way around it: I sure love to sew! And possibly just as much as that: I sure love color! And maybe even longer than I have loved color? I love a durable zipped pouch inside my purse! Great news for your Wednesday, the Gussy Sews shop is re-stocked and ready to… [Read More]

Decorating with rugs!

March 13, 2017 · 6 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, our home, simple living

There’s nothing like a good rug to give me another excuse to add color to our home. For years and years, our homes have had hardwood flooring, which I love because of how easy they are to keep clean. But I also love hardwood floors because it gives me a chance to throw down some… [Read More]

Life around here…

Filed Under: family, for fun, lifestyle

These are the days of: deciding to go to bed early rather than read a book slow sips of creamy, morning coffee (and reminding myself to measure my hard moments in small doses). tending my houseplants: wiping the leaves with a damp cloth, pruning leaves, watering the soil. noticing the stacks of books in our home,… [Read More]

Lightbulbs of encouragement.

Filed Under: creativity, inspiration

A list of five things that have been like lightbulbs of encouragement (within the last 24 hours): This statement I shared on Facebook yesterday morning: “Yesterday I spent approx. 58 seconds on Instagram & my day was approx. 2000% BETTER.” Less scrolling, more enjoying MY current — that about sums it up. This podcast between Tsh Oxenreider and… [Read More]

A game of Evening Chase…

February 14, 2017 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: family, inspiration

At the beginning of January, I wrote out my priorities. I shared them here, but I also physically wrote them out and taped them to the wall above my writing desk. Zack shares with me often the importance of writing out our goals/priorities (he has so much wisdom), and I know there is a lot… [Read More]
