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...]
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...]
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...]
Christmas Gift Guide for the Homebody
Since I always enjoy reading other people's gift guides, I wanted to share a couple gift guides of my own with you! The other day, I shared a gift guide for the littles on your list - specifically, a gift guide for babies under age one! Today, I'm focusing on the homebody - anyone in your life, adult or teen, who just loves cozying up at home and spending some quality time either introverting or relaxing around the house. I'm especially excited about this gift guide, because I'm such a … [Read more...]
Christmas Gift Guide for Babies Under One
It still surprises me to look at the calendar and see that we're over halfway through November already! Can you believe it? Christmas shopping season is really upon us! Since I always enjoy reading others' online gift guides, I wanted to share a gift guide of my own with you today! Today I'm talking about some of our favorite baby products! These are all things that Sophie loves, or that we've been glad we had on hand and we love. :) I hope this list inspires you in your own holiday shopping … [Read more...]
Why You Should Consider Writing a Christmas Letter This Year
One of my very favorite parts of this season is when our minds turn to holiday cards! I just adore sending and receiving Christmas cards. Honestly, getting a Christmas card in the mail makes my day every single time! (So, no worries there - know that if you send me a card, it's appreciated!) Every year, I tape up the cards we receive on the big white closet doors in our kitchen. It's so fun spending the weeks that lead up to Christmas seeing our friends and family smiling at us from their cards, … [Read more...]
