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. He's such a happy, inquisitive, busy boy, and has been such a blessing to us all! Since we love the "Little Blue Truck" books in our family, I decided to go with a Little Blue … [Read more...]
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...]
13 Habits + Rhythms That Make a Big Difference for Me:
I'm such a creature of habit. Are you like that, too? I suspect that most of us are - it's just human nature to gravitate towards what worked well for us last time! While there are times I certainly enjoy diving into something new (usually for me it's a fun new recipe to try), I've found that a good part of my emotional wellbeing - my general "settledness" - relies on peaceful, predictable routines in my daily life. Some of these rhythms have come and gone for me over the years, but as time … [Read more...]

A little backstory: I’ve always loved photography. I love photographing peaceful, joyful moments, because I’m constantly looking for ways to capture the beauty in ‘the mundane’ - in our everyday life. Once I became a mama, I grew … [Read more...]
