{What I wore: my Evy’s Tree hoodie}

August 14, 2013 · 7 Comments
Filed Under: Gussy, what I wore

Editor’s Note: Evy’s Tree hoodies are made out of the highest quality cotton and modal blend and are hand sewn in Peru by a loving family. They are partially handmade, not fully handmade like I had originally noted below. You know me, I like to keep what I wear to casual and comfy, but with… [Read More]

{We’re home.}

Filed Under: family

We’ve been planning this trip home for months now and yesterday we boarded our first red eye to Michigan. Of course it was so easy, Maxwell slept on both flights and the cities glowed below. Lightening struck beneath us on one as we flew from California to Michigan, that was incredible. We are home for… [Read More]

{Hard days.}

Filed Under: inspiration

Monday was a hard, hard day for me as a mama. I think we played too hard over the weekend because our house was filled with grumps — from all of us. Minus Zack of course, he was able to escape ;) No one napped well on Monday; everyone felt antsy. We took three walks,… [Read More]

{How I use my medium zip Gussy pouch.}

August 6, 2013 · 8 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, Gussy, what I wore

A staple inside any purse or bag I’ve carried for the last, ohhhh, four years is our medium zip pouch. It’s perfect for storing my sunglasses. In another I carry the essentials: chapstick, a pen, and a small wallet. Stamps, gum and bobby pins have also found their way inside, too ;) Our medium zips… [Read More]

It seems like forever since we last had a relaxing weekend at home. Zack has been working so much this summer, and last weekend Max and I were in Colorado celebrating the marriage of two awesome people.

It may have been a few years since I sold my wares on Etsy, but one thing that hasn’t changed is my adoration for the Etsy blog. I love the community they cultivate and the processes they share. Even though selling with Etsy wasn’t the best fit for my shop, I’m still able to appreciate… [Read More]
