Today is Maxwell’s second birthday and my heart so swollen with joy, I can’t believe this special day is here. We had just returned home from Tanzania, Africa when I found out we were pregnant with this little guy. And oh, what an answer to prayer this pregnancy was for our family! I’m so thankful,… [Read More]
Happy 2nd birthday, Maxwell!
A little of this, a little of that.
Helloooooo, sweet friends! I thought I would pop in and share a little of this, and a little of that — as though we were sitting down together and catching up. I don’t have a lot to share on one particular topic, but I do have a little to share on many random topics ;)… [Read More]
On wanting more patience.
I took these photos weeks ago. We were so “in the moment” here; me snuggled up with Natalie (she’s about 8 weeks old here) and Zack chasing after the always-exploring Maxwell. When I look at these photos I whisper thanks to God that His plan is always better than my plan. The babies and I… [Read More]
On happiness and “these days”.
Happiness. Let’s talk about it. What does happiness look like to you? Do you feel it often enough? Do you have peace in your life, in your home, with your self? I am deep into the book The Fringe Hours, which I mentioned last week, and it’s affirming a lot of happiness for me. I… [Read More]

The process of sewing a handbag. [video]
Le “Be Dior” sous toutes les coutures by VOGUEPARIS I’m super drawn to any how-to sewing video, probably because it’s how I learned to sew (along with many, many library books). I love watching other people work, especially when I learn a new technique along the way. It makes my brain go into creative overdrive,… [Read More]
Dreamy days are the marrow of motherhood.
Yesterday was a dreamy day. All throughout the day I felt so deeply, genuinely happy, and it all circles back to the choices I made. Here are a few mental notes I made: After throwing Zack a mini-party at home before he left for work — which included bringing him coffee in bed, making a… [Read More]
Happy 30th Birthday, Zack!
It’s is a pretty special day for Los Angeles because today we celebrate Zack’s 30th birthday! Almost 11 years ago I saw a handsome guy walking across campus at Central Michigan University. His smile was so genuine and his personality so upbeat that we needed to go on a date, and ASAP :) And after… [Read More]
My latest embroidery hoop project.
So, funny story: A couple of months ago, my mother-in-law Cindy was visiting and we were anticipating our second baby being born (hooray, it’s a girl!). We spent quite a bit of time at home while she was here because I was either super pregnant and desperately uncomfortable, or because I had just given birth… [Read More]
