…and, for a limited time the shop is open. The Caroline-made shop is a reflection of the last six years I’ve been sewing and passionately chasing after the handmade community, and it’s inspired after my middle name, Caroline. CM is a mix of high-end designer fabrics, suede details (tags & zipper pulls) and metal zippers… [Read More]

Ten things I love // vol. 3

July 25, 2014 · 13 Comments
Filed Under: 10 things I love

In a personal exercise to start noticing the small things around me I started a new series titled ten things I love. There are a lot of small things in our home that I enjoy immensely. These things aren’t just “things” to me (although they kinda are just things), they hold a special meaning. Some… [Read More]

The beauty in small spaces.

Filed Under: inspiration, Los Angeles, our home, simple living

I’ve been a renter for ten years now, renting apartments & homes all over the country. It all started after high-school graduation. I spent four years at Central Michigan University (2003-2007; where Zack and I met/fell in love) renting dorm rooms, an apartment, and then a house just off-campus. After that I lived in Lansing,… [Read More]

25 weeks baby bump.

Filed Under: baby #2, what I wore

I have a pregnancy secret! Wearing a watermelon-colored lip stain has made me feel like a million bucks. I have always wanted to try out a darker pink shade, and honestly since first wearing it a few days ago I’ve kinda worn it everyday since. I feel like it brightens my entire mood, which makes… [Read More]

What’s your favorite (fiction) book?

Filed Under: for fun

Reading is one of those pastimes that totally relaxes me yet inspires me, all at the same time. Often when I’m reading my mind trails off and my thoughts jump from one idea to another, but the neat thing is I don’t forget what I’m reading about or lose my spot on the page. I… [Read More]

Aaaaand, we’re back in action with the baby bump updates. And this week Max is joining in :) The biggest update for this week is that Baby #2 is now kicking nonstop, so hard some times that my belly jumps and you can see it. With my second pregnancy I feel like the baby’s movement… [Read More]

My reflection in the mirror.

Filed Under: baby #2, Maxwell

Since becoming a mama I’ve come to notice my reflection in mirrors when I walk past with Maxwell in my arms. It’s been a sweet way to see myself with him, but from a different perspective. The other day I was inside a fancy baby boutique with my brother (yahoo, he’s visiting all week from… [Read More]

How to sew a fanny pack.

Filed Under: for fun, sewing

I recently had the opportunity to sew a fanny pack. Oh yes, that’s right. And while at first I was totally disabled over how to actually sew it (I like to over-complicate the process (don’t ask me why)), I had a light-bulb moment one afternoon and realized I could take my template for a Gussy… [Read More]
