The morning came faster than I wanted. I heard Natalie’s little footsteps toddling on the hardwood floors, and I knew I needed to get up before Maxwell woke up. He woke last night, burning with fever, and I rushed to take his temperature and offer him some water. I had just fallen asleep, but I… [Read More]
What is the point of “One Thousand Gifts”?
An important “next step” for Maggie.
Well, hey there! I have so much on my mind (I’m noticing this is a trend for me), and you probably gathered that if you took my survey within the last few days. Honestly, my goal was to receive 100 responses. But, friends, nearly 650 of you took the survey! I have adored this space,… [Read More]
This one is for you, dear community of readers…
About once a year, I look forward to learning more about you and your interests through a reader survey — especially when I have the chance to hear from you unguided. When you fill out the paragraph box with whatever you’d like to share, that is the cherry on top for me. You are a… [Read More]
Something I never regret doing…
I sewed a Gussy pouch last week. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? And before last week, I honestly wasn’t sure when I would make myself one… I decided last minute to photograph myself with my new ruffled pouch, with the wooden button stitched on top, and all my happy glory captured. Looking at this photo, I… [Read More]
Why you need to build a creative library…
Eight years ago I found myself enthralled with the handmade community. I was learning from every resource I could find, both online and in-print, and I was sharing nearly everything on my blog. Very quickly I found myself nestled in community. I had FINALLY found the right combination of work as a handmade maker and… [Read More]
A really great process to “get it done”.
This is a very common question in our home (mostly by me), How do I get [blank] done? Zack and I are constantly re-arranging our priorities and tasks. Sometimes this happens naturally as the seasons change, but more often it happens as the kids are transitioning into another developmental phase (and we’re sort of… [Read More]
How I minimize my time spent on chores.
Chores. They sure like to weasel themselves into my home, laughing so quietly at me that no one else hears them. So instead of feeding the frenzy, I decided to do something about how much time I was spending on kitchen chores. I made three easy changes, perhaps they’ll work well for you? That is, if they’ve… [Read More]
A simple banana bread recipe!
Yesterday, I finally accepted that Fall has made it’s way to town, and I brought in my hanging plants from our front porch. I won’t even tell you how many houseplants I have now ;) Hint: it rhymes with “orteen”. One of Max’s favorite things to do is bake. With the change in outside weather,… [Read More]
The Mrs. Meyer’s Fall cleaning kit is back!
FINALLY! Our family is back to living in Michigan (where four different seasons exist), and I’m parading my excitement around by using washi-taping fallen autumn-colored leaves to our front door, burning manly-scented candles, and baking many batches of pumpkin spice muffins. You can check my Instagram feed if you don’t believe me ;) Our home… [Read More]
