MAKE IT: hand-painted lyric art

Filed Under: craft project, our home

Having personalized artwork in our home is where the, “I really love our home” magic happens. When we moved to Los Angeles in 2012 from Minneapolis we brought with us a tiny selection of home decorating favorites. We didn’t have room in our Jeep for much, so what we brought here either rode with us… [Read More]

There are three new medium zip pouches inside the Gussy Sews shop! All are ready-to-ship, and all feature our signature ruffle :) I found some great colors to work with: midnight blue, mustard, coral; cherry red, blush pink, lavender; vintage flowers of blue, pink, green & yellow. But, this one might be my very favorite…. [Read More]

Filed Under: family, for fun, lifestyle

Work and play, that’s pretty much been our focus all week. Monday we played all day long as a family since Zack had the day off work #bonus. We had a great time at the beach Tuesday with friends. I always look forward to our weekly adventures to the ocean. We switched things up this… [Read More]

Yesterday’s sewing accomplishment.

July 23, 2015 · 3 Comments
Filed Under: Gussy, new product

I’ve shared here & there how I’m sewing more, but all of this is possible only because I have a dedicated “work day” each week. This has been a fairly easy transition for me as a mama, mostly because I have so much peace knowing the kids are going to daycare together as a pair,… [Read More]

An update on my running journey (with FAQs).

Filed Under: inspiration, running

(This is part II of my running journey, click here to read part I.) I’m 5 months into my running journey, and some days I can hardly believe this. It’s been inspiring, refreshing, and super hard at times, that’s for sure. What prompted me to begin happened on a whim… Back in February I was… [Read More]

Summer camping with an infant & a toddler.

Filed Under: adventures, family, Los Angeles

Friday morning, after Natalie’s nap, we packed up the crew and headed a little north of Santa Barbara to camp for the weekend. This is the second year now we’ve joined our friends Lukasz and Joanna, and their littles Olivia and Tytus, for a weekend of camping. In fact, last year we went with them… [Read More]

Natalie & her extremely adorable crib sheets.

July 20, 2015 · 44 Comments
Filed Under: baby things, shop feature

Each morning, Natalie wakes up happy, as though it’s a fragment of who she is on the inside, it’s that simple. There’s nothing in particular we do to help her develop her happiness, she just is. And her brother was (is) the same way. Happy newborns, happy infants, happy toddlers… our family is so blessed…. [Read More]

It has been a great week! Monday greeted me with a fresh carafe of coffee brewed just for me (I think running is making my body reject non-decaf coffee; has this happened to you?), along with a custom message on my coffee cup thanks to Zack. We had a little hiccup a few days ago with Natalie not wanting to nurse, but I think I figured out the problem so we’re back on track!

Hello, Los Angeles creatives, inspiration-seekers, and/or mamas! I hope you’ll join me for another LA meet-up the morning of Saturday, August 8th.
