You know the feeling you get when you're opening a present from someone and you see it for the first time, and it's so gorgeous and thoughtful you practically burst into tears? That's the feeling I got when I opened Sophie's Land of Mae heirloom doll. I'm so thrilled to be sharing about Sophie's beautiful dolly today, and the woman behind this awesome Etsy shop! I came across Land of Mae on Instagram a long time ago. I was drawn to the classic look of Stacy's lovely dolls! A … [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...]
August Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in September
It's hard to believe it's September already! Here's what life looked like this past month...plus what we're looking forward to! August Recap: Bjorn was gone for army. Basically for all of August, or at least it felt that way! Bjorn was gone for 3 weeks for a more intensive annual training this year. Although I'm used to my husband being busy with his multiple jobs and commitments here at home, I'm still used to him coming home every night! It's a whole other thing to have him gone for 3 … [Read more...]
Sophie’s 10 Month Update
Can you believe it? We're in the double digits now! Sophie is 10 months old! Sophie's 10 Month Update: Nicknames: Sophie B, Sophie Bean, BeeBee (probably the most often used one), Honey, Dolly, BeeBee Brynn, Bumblebee, and Sophie Saurus. :) Size: Sophie was weighed at the doctor's office this week - she's 17 pounds 2 ounces, and 27.5 inches tall. Clothing-wise, Sophie is primarily in 12 month outfits at this point. She definitely still wears some 9 month clothing, but I'm … [Read more...]
Reader Survey (with an Amazon gift card giveaway!)
It's that time again! My last reader survey was back in January - and I like to do these twice a year if I can, so let's jump right in! Why a Reader Survey? You are all such a big part of Just Bee! You're what makes this a community, and you're what makes my blog more than a personal journal. There are a few reasons why I like to do these reader surveys in the first place: 1 // To guide the direction of the blog. Since having Sophie last October, and starting this new role as a … [Read more...]
My Peaceful Evening Playlist
Remember when I shared my peaceful midmorning playlist? I've been playing those songs all the time! Even the first 30 seconds of that playlist really gets me into a better mood - I feel more peaceful, more easy-going, more excited about the day. Music has always affected me deeply. Is music a big mood-changer for you, too? Recently, I've been curating a more evening-specific playlist and I am loving it so much! I started with only a handful of songs and I've been steadily adding to it as I … [Read more...]
July Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in August
It's time for another monthly update! Here's a peek at our past four weeks (plus a peek ahead at the month of August)! I honestly considered not doing a recap this month, since it feels like I just did our June recap!! July passed so quickly and a lot of it got mentioned in Sophie's 9 month update. But, I do love journaling about our life this way and I don't want to let the month slide by without acknowledgement. :) So, without further adieu, here's what we've been up to! July Recap: 90th … [Read more...]
Sophie’s 9 Month Update
Sophie-girl is 9 months old! Here are the updates from this past month! This monthly update is late for a couple reasons: first of all, we were out of town last week so it was too hard to get a post published, and second, Sophie just went in for her 9 month doctor's appointment this week, so now we have the most up-to-date info! Sophie's 9 Month Update: Nicknames: Sophie B, Sophie Bean, BeeBee (probably the most often used one), Honey, Dolly, BeeBee Brynn, Bumblebee, and Sophie Saurus. … [Read more...]
