A bike ride to the dentist!

May 16, 2016 · 5 Comments
Filed Under: adventures, Maxwell

Max had his first cleaning at the dentist recently, and HOORAY — we live close enough that he rode his bike! It was a beautiful morning, I kind of wish they were a little farther away so we could have gone on a longer walk. It was a quick appointment, and high five for having… [Read More]

My newest 20-minute project.

May 13, 2016 · 10 Comments
Filed Under: craft project, creativity, inspiration, knitting/crocheting, our home

Every day is a work in progress. Not only for the babies we’re raising and what they’re learning, but for me as their mama. Every day I fail. I get upset. I make mistakes. I forget. I let my tiredness overpower my joy. But, I also have days where I succeed. I am happy. I… [Read More]

Mother’s Day, a couple days late. (Naturally.)

May 10, 2016 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: adventures, Detroit, family, for fun, mamahood

There’s no denying it — most areas of my life right now are blissfully “late”. I won’t go into detail on the housework I’m behind on, on the home projects that aren’t done or filed away or cleaned. Certainly you can imagine what our home looks like at any given hour ;) Instead of focusing… [Read More]

Relishing on simple joys.

Filed Under: Detroit, family, mamahood

(long, slow blinks) Well, hello there! Hellooooooo from my land of yawns and diapering and snack making and couch cuddling and time out giving and insane chocolate craving and, what’s that I was wanting to write? I’m also thick in the memory loss phase of mamahood, oh my goodness! In case you missed it, here’s… [Read More]

One week ago, on the evening of Wednesday, April 13th, our third baby was placed on my chest — A GIRL! Our family is beyond blessed to be a family of five! Zack and I left for the hospital early Wednesday morning… …and Marigold “Goldie” Tanzania Whitley was born at 6:53 pm, weighing 7 lbs… [Read More]

How to craft when your heart is enveloped in motherhood.

April 8, 2016 · 18 Comments
Filed Under: craft project, for fun, mamahood

This topic is always so hard for me to write on. Some days I’m able to accomplish so much, and other days it’s a struggle to make a hot meal for dinner. Creating, crafting, spending time on my hobbies, doing things that inspire me, that fill me up, that make me feel like “Maggie” —… [Read More]

A FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Spring Cleaning Kit, plus 3 of my secrets!

Filed Under: for fun, mamahood, our home

We are about two weeks away from a new baby joining our family, and while I have two toddlers keeping me busy with play and reading and meals and naps (oh, hallelujah), the reality is I’m in big time “nesting mode”. With this pregnancy, my cleaning time is even more limited, so keeping our home… [Read More]

Just the three of us.

Filed Under: baby #3, family, for fun, mamahood

We have about three weeks to go, then my little posse of three upgrades to four! It’s been “just the three of us” for almost 17 months now, but I remember plain as day when it was just Maxwell and I. We had so much to learn — we were both so new at this… [Read More]
