Yesterday, before Zack even came home from work, I suggested we have another Gussy meeting. We used to have them regularly, weekly, but these last few months have been so crazy insane that we haven’t kept to our norm. Owning a handmade business has been an incredible gift. I didn’t quite realize just how much… [Read More]

{A reflection on my first Mother’s Day.}

May 14, 2013 · 14 Comments
Filed Under: family, holidays, mamahood

Over the weekend Zack blessed me with a wonderful dual-day Mother’s Day. Not only did he spoil me on Sunday but on Saturday, too! We spent so much time outside, it was amazing. I also slept in both days, which is worth highlighting ;) Being a mama is the most challenging, rewarding title I’ve ever… [Read More]

Filed Under: blog & handmade advice

I know I talk about this all the time, but it’s so true — one of my very favorite things about the Gussy Sews community is the encouragement you all bring, to me and to each other. Sometimes it comes in the form of handmade, other times it’s business chatter, and some times [perhaps my… [Read More]

Filed Under: for fun, Maxwell, Vlog

A couple weeks ago my friend Joanna brought over a play activity mat for Maxwell to use. I swear, this friend is a true gift from God. She’s so thoughtful and fun to be around, plus she’s a mama — just like me :) — which makes our friendship even sweeter. Soon after Joanna dropped… [Read More]

Filed Under: what I wore

There are a couple of really yummy yogurt shops near our apartment and –confession– I’m starting to see a little pattern on the weekends as we’ve been visiting them often ;) Because Zack knows me so well I love when he picks out my yogurt + toppings while I wait outside with Maxwell and his… [Read More]

Filed Under: family, Los Angeles, Maxwell

Oh weeee, things sure have been different around here. Not only do we have an [almost] 8-week-old babe but my mom was here last week and all three of us soaked up her goodness. I knew from her last visit in March she would be back “soon” but soon came sooner that we thought —… [Read More]

{An adventure to San Diego!}

Filed Under: adventures, family, Maxwell

The weekend before last Zack + I were really wanting to get away for a little bit. We always talk about doing this or doing that but since moving here, I always chicken out and come up with an excuse for why our adventures won’t work. And really, that is so unlike me. When I marinate on… [Read More]

^ sweet Maxwell at 5 weeks old ^ we decided last minute to go to San Diego last Saturday, and guess what? it was so fun! Things have been a bit quieter than “normal” here on the blog, haven’t they? And it is different for me, that’s for sure. When I started this blog I… [Read More]
