Ah, Amazon. It's one of my very favorite places to buy things! There are some items I just won't purchase from Amazon because they end up being overpriced or not top-notch quality, but for the most part, Amazon is where I turn to when I'm looking for something. We live over an hour's drive away from a Target and 35 minutes from a Walmart. Some days, I make the trek with my one-year-old in tow, but I have to plan for that kind of outing and have the energy for it, haha. :) Therefore, a lot of … [Read more...]
Our Daily Routine
It's high time for another daily routine post! :) The last time I shared a full daily routine was last April, when Sophie was 6 months old! I had been aching for some semblance of predictability - I find comfort in schedules - and I'm happy to say we settled into a great daily rhythm for a long time. However, one of the major components of raising littles is change, and change has certainly happened! Solveig is just about 15 months old now and our days look a lot different from when I shared … [Read more...]
Sophie’s Favorite Books At 14 Months
My husband and I absolutely love reading, although I'd have to say that Bjorn reads way more than I do! (While both of us are the can't-say-no-to-buying-books, read-in-bed-in-the-evening types of people, Bjorn takes it a step further and can be found listening to audio books all the time, too - while farming in the tractor, while driving to work, while he does the dishes, and more!) Needless to say, we own hundreds of books and our one-year-old has her own awesome collection starting as well! … [Read more...]
My 2019 Goals & Aspirations
Now that the new year is in full swing, I'm finally sharing the goals I've got for 2019! These have been bouncing around in my mind for a while now (probably ever since December), and it's time to get them recorded! Last week, I heard that only 8% of people with New Year's resolutions will carry them through till the next year. Yikes! I want to keep them, and I want this year to be focused on general wellness and ways I can be honoring God and taking good care of myself. While I understand … [Read more...]
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!! I’m a sucker for fresh starts. I love making goals and to-do lists, I love looking ahead, and I love that spark of ambition that comes with a new dream. Actually, to be honest, September always feels like more of a fresh start to me than January does, since I visualize every year in terms of school years (that’s what happens when you’re a teacher and you’re also married to one!). But on this sunny January 1st, I’m feeling extra hopeful and motivated. The past year was … [Read more...]
Our New Family Growth Ruler (+ a promo code!)
I'm so excited about today's post! I've been looking forward to sharing this one with you! :) I'm one of three children, and while we were growing up, my mom kept a growth chart ruler hanging in our bathroom to mark down our heights. It is so neat to look back over the years and see how little we once were! It's such a precious keepsake to have around, especially after the kids grow up and move out! Ever since Sophie was born, I've been wanting a similar growth chart ruler in our home, so … [Read more...]
That Time I Remembered Why I Blog
We're visiting my parents for part of the holidays this year. This morning, while Sophie was resting, I snuck off to Target and Starbucks for a couple errands. (I love this, because at home we live over an hour away from both a Target and Starbucks...so this feels downright luxurious!) I had a bit more time without Sophie along for the ride, and I found myself wandering the baby aisles anyway, staring at darling little newborn socks and cute sleeper sets. I glanced over and a woman near me was … [Read more...]
November Recap + Life Update
Hard to believe it's December, even though we're already about halfway through! This update post is obviously different from past update posts - first of all, because it's so late! :) I'll get into that more soon. I love how recap posts function as a sort of journal about our everyday life, or different seasons, so even though this one is late, it's still going up. ;) And...it's going to be more of a wordy post than others! November Recap: November was a more difficult month. Some months, … [Read more...]
