Supporting other handmade makers by sharing them just for fun (read: not sponsored) is something I’ve advocated from the beginning of my time as a blogger. I admire handmade makers’ perseverance and focus, I’m inspired by their creations and vision, and I enjoy sharing their designs! As a personal initiative to get back into this,… [Read More]

On having a television detox & minimizing our toy collection…

Filed Under: family, inspiration, mamahood

We are such weird parents, and I love it. Maxwell was more than 1 year old before he watched any form of television, and I clearly remember him looking at an iPad and having no clue what it was or how to use it. Up until that point, he was fully engrossed in his toys and… [Read More]

Life around here.

Filed Under: family, for fun, inspiration, lifestyle

We’ve had a full, rich week. A week where most nights, Zack and I snuck a kiss in the kitchen before switching evening shifts; we’re passing parental ships in the night. One night in particular, I didn’t even make it home before his lids fell shut. I walked into our bedroom and then promptly  turned… [Read More]

A Wednesday update: writing, soup, and a new notebook…

January 18, 2017 · 17 Comments
Filed Under: Faith, inspiration

CLEARLY the Lord is working on something within me, because I’m still struggling with my writing. For weeks (months?) I felt like maybe it just wasn’t “in the cards” for me  to continue as a writer. Maybe the season is over for me? Then, after journaling during nap time, I took on a new perspective:… [Read More]

Dear apron, I’m so glad we kept you around so I could wear you last night while I was making our new favorite soup for dinner. My counter tops may have been messy with food prep, but my evening lounge wear stayed nice & clean. I may need to add a ruffle or two, don’t… [Read More]

“One bite at a time.”

January 6, 2017 · 9 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration

There are a few things I’m regularly working through, and one of them is my ability to magnify a situation by telling myself it’s too difficult. Oh man, I am so good at this. (Laughs awkwardly.) I’m really good at coming up with an idea, but then I struggle to break it down/get started. It’s… [Read More]

Filed Under: Detroit, family, lifestyle

Hey friends, Happy New Year to you! I’m writing today with a fresh perspective on health, and how I often take my good health for granted. A couple weeks ago I was hit with another round of Mastitis, and my symptoms were especially terrible compared to my first round. How is that even possible??? Zack… [Read More]
