joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
For a little mid-week excitement I’m here with a giveaway from one of our sidebar sponsors. Pickture That! makes fun, custom photo bracelets that are scratch, stain and water resistant — sounds like a perfect match for your favorite Instagram photos ;) Heidi shares more about their business, including a little encouragement for fellow handmade… [Read More]
Since September I’ve been praying over (and working on) a special group project, and today I get to share with you what we’ve been up to! :) It’s no secret I’m a dreamer and a doer. Since I was young I’ve been creating and making plans. I love to sketch on paper my dreams to… [Read More]
We’re working on our February giveaway bundle with a focus on Valentine’s Day (surprise, surprise) and it’s off to a great start! I’m excited to share with you the shops and products we’ll be bundling and giving away on February 2nd. And perhaps the even better news is we’re still booking prizes for this giveaway!… [Read More]
When life is good it ticks by fast, so during this season of “good life” I want to pause to remember… – the kitchen counter piled high with dishes from a delicious meal – Maxwell talking to Siri by mostly telling her dada, mama (pronounced “muma”), Nony (Natalie) and no no nooooooo – babies who… [Read More]
What would life be like with two children?, I often wondered. The first six to eight weeks after Natalie was born were hard, for sure. They were hard for different reasons and on different days. Some days I felt very victorious during the morning hours, but like a complete failure in the afternoon. I’m going… [Read More]
The other day I had a small “aha” moment and it was super encouraging since I’m still in the newborn & toddler craze. Zack was home these last two weeks during the holidays and we enjoyed all our time together as a family (obviously :)). But we also enjoyed a bit of solo time, too…. [Read More]
Instead of picking one little word to focus on for the entire year I’m doing something new by focusing on one new thing each month. I’m still figuring out mamahood (aren’t we always?) and so the best way to get back into my Maggie-ness is to tackle something new each month. I love a good… [Read More]
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve sat down to write a post, or try to journal with a pen (a real pen! and paper!), and nothing productive comes of it. I can honestly say I am putting too much pressure on myself to come up with something profound or witty as to… [Read More]
Our family is preparing for a quiet Christmas at home and I feel so blessed to have two babies to share our traditions with. Buuuut, the Midwest in me is having a hard time not seeing snow on the ground. Los Angeles gives us way different weather than we’re used to, but the sunsets we… [Read More]
If we went back in time to 26 years ago you’d most definitely find me with my two favorite dolls tucked under each arm. I loved my dolls (loved them!) and wanted nothing more than to be a mommy when I was older. I was also really into painting rocks with my nail polish, collecting… [Read More]
