The last time I shared a peek at our daily life was back in January! Since then, Sophie has grown and matured SO much, I've gotten a better hold on my anxiety, we've found out we're pregnant with our second child (due in late November!), and even more! With all these shifts and changes going on, our schedule has shifted a bit as well. If you love reading others' daily rhythms and routines like I do, then you'll enjoy today's post! I'm including a lot of extra commentary, as is my custom, haha, … [Read more...]
Recipes We’ve Been Loving Lately (+ a peek at what we’re trying this week!)
Maybe it's pregnancy, nesting, or it's just a new fun "hobby," but I've been really into finding new recipes recently! Some of them have been healthy and some have been...well, not healthy, but definitely still delicious! :) Bjorn was gone for a month this summer for army, and that's when I got a bit carried away with desserts! Hypothetically, it's a little dangerous for me as a pregnant mama to sit home alone with my daughter and a huge batch of raspberry dark chocolate cookies. … [Read more...]
Dressy OR Casual Maternity Style with PinkBlush (+ a promo code for you!)
If you've been following along with me on Instagram for a while now, then you know I'm a big fan of PinkBlush and their clothing! While PinkBlush does offer maternity AND non-maternity clothing, I first started purchasing PinkBlush items back when I was pregnant with Sophie, two summers ago. Now that I'm pregnant again (this time, with our little guy!), I've found myself buying more maternity (or just plain bump-friendly) pieces once more. This is for two reasons: first, (because as I've … [Read more...]
Easy Shepherd’s Pie
What?! Another recipe so soon? :) Yep! This is a favorite meal in our family. I actually have to try hard not to make it once a week, because I really don't want us to get tired of it! :) If you're in the market for an easy supper recipe that's full of flavor (and nutritious veggies!), then you'll have to try this out. Shepherd's pie is another type of hot dish or casserole, and this meal is definitely one to have ready in your arsenal when your family is hungry and it's time for something … [Read more...]
14 Lovely Children’s Books for the Enneagram 4 Parent (+ for the poetic side of all of us!)
The idea for this post has been bouncing around in my head for a while! I love children's books so much (we're huge book lovers in this family!) and I've also been enjoying the Enneagram lately. Combine the two topics, and you have today's post! If you haven't heard of the Enneagram yet, it's a framework for understanding the 9 different personality types. I started learning about it a little "late to the game" (it's been pretty trendy for a while now!). I've honestly found it to be quite … [Read more...]
Superfood Breakfast Cookies
I don't share recipes all that often here, but I do love sharing about food when I get the chance! Food photography is always a fun side hobby, too! Even though recipes don't make a frequent appearance here on the blog, know that the ones I do share are definitely favorites of ours! :) How this recipe came about: I was searching Pinterest for an easy, healthy breakfast option. I came across one woman's superfood breakfast cookie recipe and decided to try it out. But then I proceeded to … [Read more...]
First Trimester Recap
Whew! What a blur these last few months have been! Back when I was pregnant with Sophie, the pregnancy updates were a lot more frequent and timely! ;) But now I'm chasing around a busy toddler and our schedule has been quite full lately, so it's taken even longer for me to get around to blogging! In today's post, I'm going to share some of the basic highlights (and some of the more difficult things, I suppose) from the first trimester this time around! (PS - in case you missed it, here's our … [Read more...]
A Day at the Zoo
Recently we got to spend the day down in Iowa with family, and our adventure for the day was the zoo! We visited the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, and it was a really sweet day! Sophie's favorite part was getting to feed a giraffe, but the whole zoo was all interesting and exciting to her anyway! :) It's so fun because she loves reading about animals at home, but then she gets extra excited when she sees them at the zoo in real life! Sophie and her cousin Mia got to wear matching "sister" … [Read more...]
