The New Year has hardly begun, yet it’s so clear there are many amazing things just around the corner for our family. We are still in Michigan visiting family and although our time here has been full, we are really enjoying the new memories we are making. As I write this, we are minutes into… [Read More]

Our Christmas in Petoskey, MI!

December 28, 2015 · 3 Comments
Filed Under: family, holidays

I’m not sure what this says about me and my current state of nesting, but one thing that’s immediately different about being in Michigan (with our growing family of little people) is the convenience of laundry! In Los Angeles, we have a compact/portable washing machine that allows us to wash a small load in our… [Read More]

Home for the holidays!

December 23, 2015 · 3 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, holidays, Zack

Our entire family is in Michigan for the holidays — even Bauer pup, and I am seriously amazed at how different it is from our home in Los Angeles. Amazed in such a good way, might I add :) The differences were immediate and began as we were landing in Grand Rapids: look at all of the green!… [Read More]

Mothering myself: painting my nails & drinking tea.

December 16, 2015 · 2 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, mamahood

If you know one thing about me then you probably know one of my very favorite ways to “take care of Maggie” is to paint my nails. It’s seriously my favorite! Lately I’ve been grabbing a gray-ish color, and this is my go-to polish. We have been busy this month with a variety of family… [Read More]

Searching for our 2015 Christmas tree!

December 9, 2015 · 4 Comments
Filed Under: family, holidays, Los Angeles

Over the weekend we headed to a pop-up Christmas tree farm, set up just a few miles from our home. I love the garden lights and pennant flags they hang above, the wood chips scattered on the floor of the Earth, the smell of fresh pine. It makes living in the city feel less city… [Read More]

You guys, I deserve a gold star. For way too long, I’ve wanted to sew a quilt for Maxwell. Suddenly, a couple of months ago, I had a surge of creative energy, and I decided it was time to make it happen. I was going to make my very first quilt! My quilting process so… [Read More]

HEY MAMAS: don’t give up on your creative gifts.

December 4, 2015 · 10 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, mamahood

Many years ago, I was a newlywed fresh to the handmade scene. To be specific, it was over seven years ago that I had discovered Etsy.com, and I was obsessed with the idea that women my age knew how to run a successful handmade business while working from an inspiring studio space. Aka: home :)… [Read More]

Filed Under: baby #3, Faith

I confess: the weeks are flying by with this pregnancy! Of course this is a little expected as my daily goal is to keep up with our two toddlers (what? toddlers?). Since we’ve had a variety of pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum experiences, maybe it’s to help put the kibosh on any unnecessary worries? That would… [Read More]
