I've posted on Instagram a couple times about my favorite wild rice soup, and a lot of people asked for the recipe! I forgot about that until I did a poll a couple days ago on Instagram and got an overwhelming response that you'd still like the recipe that I never had shared, haha. :) I finally got my act together and I've typed it out here for you! The credit for this recipe goes to my mom. I can't remember where she got it, but this is how she and I have tweaked it over time! I have it in a … [Read more...]
Sophie’s Woodland First Birthday Party
I'm so excited about today's post! There was a lot of thinking and dreaming involved in planning Sophie's first birthday party. I'm not one of those people who knew the theme immediately upon learning they're expecting (haha), but I watched Sophie grow and thought about her interests and likes in order to come up with this party theme! (After all, this may be the only birthday that she isn't requesting certain themes! Mama got to dream this one up!) RELATED: Sophie's 1 Year Update! I … [Read more...]
Our Current Favorite Recipes
Let's talk food today! It's no secret that I like to cook and bake. My husband likes to spend time in the kitchen, too! Bjorn is really talented when it comes to evaluating what's in the cupboard and making a meal out of it. But he's also good at jumping in and helping with my more complex meal ideas, haha! When I want to try new meals, I tend to select more ambitious recipes (for better or for worse) and have spent many an afternoon industriously chopping veggies, grating things, simmering, … [Read more...]
Our Nursing Story (With an Oat Mama Giveaway + Promo Code!)
Being a first-time mom, I had no idea what Sophie's and my feeding journey would look like! (And you can't truly know what it'll be like with each child until you try!) I definitely wanted to breastfeed; I wanted Sophie's immune system to get the benefits of breastmilk, and I wanted the special bond with my baby girl - not to mention it's FREE and a great way to save money! ;) However, I knew that there were so many variables involved, so I reminded myself that no matter what, fed is … [Read more...]

Thai Iced Tea
Bjorn and I have always loved Thai food - it's one of our favorite cuisines, whether we're cooking at home or going out to eat. I studied abroad in Cambodia and fell in love with curry even more so then, and I'm lucky to have a husband who enjoys it just as much as I do! :) At most Thai restaurants, there are a couple delicious drinks on the beverage menu: Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. If you're unfamiliar with these beverages, they are basically creamy sweet versions of coffee or … [Read more...]
10 Kitchen Habits To Save Time + Avoid Waste
I love spending time in the kitchen! I get SO much joy out of standing in our quiet, sunlit kitchen, washing strawberries in our farmhouse sink, stirring soup, chopping veggies for curry, or whipping up another batch of oatmeal bars. My husband grew up in a home where they really love spending time in the kitchen together, as well - whether it is spent sitting around the kitchen table chatting about their day, playing games, or chopping up ingredients for a family taco night (I LOVE those!). … [Read more...]
