It's been quite some time since I've last shared a recipe! But that doesn't mean I haven't been enjoying cooking! I always enjoy finding new recipes and cooking fun meals for my family. I used to share recipes here more frequently but time sure flies when you have two little ones, and I haven't been actively creating new recipes of my own for a while...until recently! The recipe I'm sharing with you today started out as a Plan B for supper one night this winter, and is now one of our … [Read more...]
Thoughts on Faithfulness in Parenting
It's not a surprise to me that motherhood is challenging. I expected it to be a stretching experience. 😁 But parenting effectively through all of these seasons with littles can be such a fluid thing that I'm constantly finding myself regaining my footing! Can anyone else relate? It seems like one second, I'm thrilled with a parenting strategy that works so well with my 3-year-old, and then a minute later, before I have the chance to become prideful, I find my fearless 1-year-old son … [Read more...]
The Little Things Add Up
Parenting: where the little things add up. "It's the little things." I've loved that phrase for years. I've loved the intentionality of it - the push to focus on small joys in your life. But oh, how I have been learning how "the little things" in parenting add up over time. It's the moments of belly laughter with my daughter over a goofy picture book. It's the comfort I can offer my baby boy through a cuddle or a prompt diaper change. 😁 It's the consistency I strive for in my discipline and … [Read more...]
Our 1-Week Florida Trip Itinerary
Hi friends! It's been a while since I've written a post like this! Our family of four recently returned from a week long trip to Florida and I wanted to share about where we went and what we did when we were there. I love journaling about our travels this way - it's so fun to look back on, and my hope is that it offers you some travel inspiration or ideas, whether you're going to Florida or not! Both Bjorn and I had been to Florida before, but not in a "touring the state" kind of way. He had … [Read more...]
Bloom | a playlist for spring
Happy March! Boy, it’s been quite the year since last March, right? Today I’m turning my mind to hopeful, happy things. And I have something fun to share with you! Even though it’s not officially spring yet, and even though March in Minnesota can feel like a full-fledged winter month, I’m filled with hope today. It helps that it’s a sunny day here. :) March is a month I always look forward to. My husband Bjorn and I were married in March (7 years ago!) so it’s full of happy memories, and … [Read more...]

Soren’s Little Blue Truck First Birthday Party
I love party planning, especially themed parties! I don't go completely over the top, but I sure enjoy creating a special celebration for our kids and centering it around a theme. I'm excited to share today's post with you! It's hard to believe our son Soren is a one-year-old already! Time sure has flown by. He's such a happy, inquisitive, busy boy, and has been such a blessing to us all! Since we love the "Little Blue Truck" books in our family, I decided to go with a Little Blue … [Read more...]
Our Family’s Favorite Crockpot Meals (11 Recipes!)
It's been cold for quite a while here in Minnesota! Our good old crockpot comes out every winter (and often stays around for longer than that)! I used to bring it out almost begrudgingly, because while I knew it brought us added convenience, I always felt like slow cooker meals were a bit of a downgrade. I just didn't like how they all felt like one texture! (Can anyone else relate?) A meal really loses its appeal when it's all one texture. But it turns out, I just needed to experiment a lot, … [Read more...]
