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]

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Just last year we were celebrating Maxwell’s first Valentine’s Day (he was 11 months old), and now we’re celebrating with new baby Natalie? Life, you are crazy awesome.

BabyBjörn has polka dots! (and a sale)
Sometimes I look at Natalie and the next thing I know I’m laughing out loud with happiness. You guys, she makes the best faces (remember this one?). She and Max are both super expressive with their eyebrows and I love it a whole lot, especially on days when I’m tired from a restless night. Which… [Read More]
7 tips for meal planning simplicity.
Just recently we decided it was time to get serious again about following a budget (translation: stop overspending through impulse purchases). When Zack & I were living in Detroit and unemployed we followed Dave Ramsey’s cash envelope system. We didn’t overspend our already too-tight budget — I can’t believe that was almost seven years ago now!… [Read More]
Sunshine, soul-comforting food, sewing & my DIY story.
Our weekend wasn’t anything extraordinary but it sure was a good one. I think those are my favorite :) Zack and I had a mini-date at home during naptime (sushi & thai tea, anyone?), we went on a long walk one afternoon, and I cooked soul-comforting meals. We napped, baked homemade chocolate chip cookies and… [Read More]
I want to remember…
I’ve really been into podcasts lately and last week I shared a few of my favorites. But, I have a new favorite on my list: Grace Talks|Inspiration & Encouragement for Women by Edie Wadsworth (her blog is Life in Grace). Because podcasts are strictly audio I’m inspired in a totally deeper way, especially compared to… [Read More]
For the Creative DIY-ers…
When I first began to sew it was 2008 and I had recently discovered the goodness of Etsy. A few months later, newly married yet unemployed living in Detroit (what?!), I realized I had the power to take my addiction to sewing and turn it into a handmade business. All I needed to do was… [Read More]
How to add color & texture without painting your walls.
We’ve been renting for almost seven years now. When we lived in Detroit Zack and I rented an adorable little house. When we lived in Minneapolis we rented an apartment downtown for a year and then a gorgeous home in the Uptown neighborhood for two years. And now that we’re in California we’ve had two… [Read More]
