Ah, Amazon. It's one of my very favorite places to buy things! There are some items I just won't purchase from Amazon because they end up being overpriced or not top-notch quality, but for the most part, Amazon is where I turn to when I'm looking for something. We live over an hour's drive away from a Target and 35 minutes from a Walmart. Some days, I make the trek with my one-year-old in tow, but I have to plan for that kind of outing and have the energy for it, haha. :) Therefore, a lot of … [Read more...]
Our Daily Routine
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...]
Our New Family Growth Ruler (+ a promo code!)
I'm so excited about today's post! I've been looking forward to sharing this one with you! :) I'm one of three children, and while we were growing up, my mom kept a growth chart ruler hanging in our bathroom to mark down our heights. It is so neat to look back over the years and see how little we once were! It's such a precious keepsake to have around, especially after the kids grow up and move out! Ever since Sophie was born, I've been wanting a similar growth chart ruler in our home, so … [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...]
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...]
Sophie’s Book Box (+ a promo code!)
If you know my husband or me at all, then you know we love to read! We love books and we love to learn. One of our favorite things to do is peruse the aisles of Barnes & Noble together, and we find it really really hard to say no to adding a new book to our collection. ;) Bjorn has hundreds of books that he's collected over the years - needless to say, a beautiful home library will be a must in our future home! Even though she's just one, our daughter Sophie loves to read, too! Every … [Read more...]
Our 2018 Christmas Cards (+ a promo code for you!)
Can you believe it's that time of year already?! While I may not be a fan of the bitter wind and gray, snowy skies, I have to admit it - I'm excited for the holiday season. We already have our tree up because I wanted our daughter to get as much Christmas-y enjoyment out of the decor as possible! And we've already been dancing to our Christmas playlist this week as we make supper. :) After all, when the temperature is down in the 20s and teens here in Minnesota...I feel like the Christmas … [Read more...]
Putting the House to Bed: My Evening Routine
I know, I know - to some people, this may not sound like the most exciting post! ;) But if you ARE anything like me, keep reading, friend, because you probably love hearing about others' home routines, too. Shall I start with a disclaimer? (I feel like moms shouldn't need one, since life with littles can have its share of curveballs, haha...but here goes.) This routine I'm sharing today is an ideal, quiet, predictable nightly routine. Some nights do not look like this. Some nights differ only … [Read more...]
