Some of you may not know this, but my family lives in two places. Since January, due to my husband's job, we've had two homes: one, an apartment in a city, and the other, a house in a tiny rural town, where we've lived ever since we got married. And we bounce back and forth between the two of them frequently - sometimes weekly, especially between the months of January and June. I call it my dual life. This is the choice we've made, to keep our family physically together in tandem with … [Read more...]
Family Meal Ideas We’ve Been Loving Lately
It's been a while since I've done a post like this, and I figured it was time! I love hearing what other moms recommend when it comes to feeding their family, so I wanted to share with you what we've been enjoying! I usually keep a list of meal ideas and recipes on my free Evernote account (my FAVORITE note-taking service, because it syncs between your phone and computer). Some of our recent favorite meals also come from a quick screenshot I took when someone else shared a meal idea on … [Read more...]

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.

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...]

Sophie’s Zoo-Themed 3rd Birthday Party
Sophie turned 3 on October 16! It's hard to believe she's been a 3-year-old for a month already. Where has the time gone? Like we do every year, we had an early birthday party for Sophie (her birthday falls right in the middle of our busy harvest season around here!). But it's still just as special - plus, I'm of the opinion that having your birthday party on a different day than your birthday just spreads the celebration out more! How fun! :) Celebrating a couple weeks later on her actual … [Read more...]
