joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
Where has this month gone? I am just realizing today that it’s March 14th. This really has been such a busy year so far for our family with lots of work commitments (both Zack and I) and social activities with our friends. Last month Caroline-made launched and then just recently I opened the Gussy shop back… [Read More]
Zack’s brought some really amazing traditions to our family, but one of my favorites is how he prefers to celebrate a birthday for the entire week (or month, ahem). And really, why not? :) Having a baby is no easy task, so I’m totally on board for the extended celebrations. Besides, multiple opportunities to eat… [Read More]
It took me two years to make this shop happen. Does that sound a little bit crazy to you? I’ll be honest: it sounds a big bit crazy to me. Part of me thinks that two years is way too long, what was I possibly doing all this time while waiting to launch Caroline-made? Well… [Read More]
I’m beginning to prepare my heart for a big upcoming trip to Dallas later this month. It’s been a while (18 months?) since I last traveled to a blog conference, and even though it’s a little scary for me to think about leaving my little boy at home for the weekend, I’m also really looking… [Read More]
Are you ready for Spring? I know so many of you have snow piled up at your home taller than your mailboxes. My parents said the snow behind their garage will probably be there until June ;) So, let’s bring a little bit of that fresh, blooming Spring season into our homes with the help… [Read More]
We had such a lovely weekend fully of relaxing and relaxing and naps and relaxing. It was glorious, and just what I needed after a crazy couple of weeks preparing for Caroline-made to launch. We went on at least two walks both days! The weather was gorgeous, even at 7:30am when we went on our… [Read More]
Remember when I said 2014 was my year to be brave? I’ve been stretching myself in crazy huge ways and just yesterday I launched my second handmade shop, Caroline-made. I kinda feel like I just had a baby, it was so much work (months and months of preparation and late nights) but this launch has… [Read More]
eeeekkkk! It’s finally here — today is the big reveal of Caroline-made! I’ve been working on this for months, planning, designing and sewing. Caroline is my middle name, and I’m big time loving being stretched creatively in this new way. We have a gorgeous collection of 16 items to launch our Spring 2014 lookbook…. [Read More]
Last week Maxwell and I were laying on our bed, reading books. I was repeating the baby babble he was muttering. Bauer was laying on the floor near the door, protecting us. (Or maybe he was supervising us?) It felt a bit surreal to be cuddling with my son who suddenly knew how to sit… [Read More]
