joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
One of the first things I loved about the mamaRoo infant seat was how compact it is. We live in a cozy apartment in Los Angeles with our two young children and dog, so having furniture that’s compact gets a thumbs up from me. Something else I love? The pop of seat color against the… [Read More]
– how messy (but worth it) painting with Maxwell really is ;) – how crazy quiet the apartment feels when the white noise is turned off (and everyone’s asleep) – how much time is wasted thinking about something verses actually doing. #inspiration – the way Max plays hide & seek behind the living room curtains… [Read More]
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]

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]
