Have you heard of the word influencer? If you're a blogger, then you definitely have. The term gets bounced around a lot in the blogging world! I first saw myself actively described as an influencer quite recently, in the midst of volleying emails back and forth with a company regarding an upcoming collaboration. The brand's contact person I was in touch with forwarded a request to someone else in the company, saying "please send __ to this influencer." It took me a sec when scanning that … [Read more...]
13 Easy Ways To Be a Lifelong Learner
My husband and I are kind of obsessed with learning. We get a lot of enjoyment out of it! We dream of having a gorgeous office library someday, featuring a couple leather armchairs and filled with dark wood bookshelves from the floor to the ceiling. And we do have a pretty ample start to our collection - Bjorn has well over 500 books already and I'm working on catching up. ;) If you stroll past our current smaller bookshelves in our guest bedroom, you'll see books on everything from the Amish to … [Read more...]
May Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in June
These past 4 weeks have flown by! Here's a recap of the month of May, plus a peek ahead at June! May Recap: Planting season is in full swing! Basically, scheduling anything on the calendar in May or June is usually hard for a farming family, haha. Because you never know when the weather will be good and you'll have to be in the field!! By the time this blog post goes live, we'll have a good amount of our soybeans planted. I heard on the radio the other day that Minnesota's soybeans are about … [Read more...]
55 Must-Have Books For Your Child’s Library
Friends, I am so, SO excited about this post! I've been thinking about it for a long time now, but I just had to collect all the information and double-check things first before sharing it all with you! If you don't know already, Bjorn and I are HUGE fans of books and reading. I always thought I loved to read a lot, until I met my husband. Bjorn is probably the most busy person I know, but also the most productive lifelong learner I know. He's always intentional with his time and despite all … [Read more...]
Our Best Baby Sleep Tips and Strategies (Age 4-6 Months)
I've mentioned in Sophie's recent updates that we've been extra intentional about her sleep routines these past few months. I know that things change as babies get older, but we've experienced some awesome success with her (read: sleep for everybody!) so I wanted to write a blog post about our strategies before things change again, haha. Sophie was a great flexible napper earlier on in her life, and would be fine napping anywhere and near anyone (like many little babies are!). But we … [Read more...]
Sophie’s 7 Month Update
Solveig Brynn is 7 months old!! Can you believe it? I feel like we literally just celebrated her 6 month birthday. It's crazy how quickly these months are flying by! Sophie's 7 Month Update Nicknames: Sophie B, BB, BeeBee Bonnet, Dolly, Baby, BeeBee Brynn...and we like to call her Sophie Brynn or Solveig Brynn a lot, too! Size: I honestly haven't weighed her since her 6 month doctor's appointment. She was 13 lbs 7 oz at that appointment and in the 6th percentile for weight, and … [Read more...]
Professional Teeth Whitening At Home (with a giveaway!)
Let's talk smiles! I'm really grateful for the fact that I had braces as a kid. Sure, they're uncomfortable and annoying when you're in middle school, but they are a worthy investment in a future smile and I'm immensely thankful to my parents that we were able to make that happen! While I love having teeth that are functional and straight, I've wished they were whiter for years now. Not in a shallow way - "Barbie" shouldn't be the goal here - but I just always wondered if there was … [Read more...]
How to Find Your Blogging Inspiration Again (+ a free workbook!)
If you're a blogger like me (or a writer in any aspect!), then I'll bet you've had moments where you sit in front of the computer, knowing you want to get something up on the blog, or get material written, but wondering what. Staying inspired is one of the most difficult facets of being a blogger. It's certainly not a magical process, where we simply upload a couple good pictures and the post basically writes itself! ;) And sometimes it's not a lack of an urge to write...it's just the … [Read more...]
