I assume you've heard about the coronavirus. I don't have anything else to add to all the other voices on the internet right now regarding that, but I did want to pop in and share a post today that I hope will be useful to you! Chances are, you're practicing the recommended "social distancing" and you may find yourself feeling a little stir-crazy. As a stay-at-home mom of littles, I do have some favorite activities to do with my toddler when we're indoors! A couple quick notes: Obviously, … [Read more...]
DIY St. Patrick’s Day Sensory Bottle
This is our second sensory bottle post! Sophie and I have really gotten into sensory activities lately. It all started when I picked the date to officially begin potty training. With the method we were using, I knew we'd have to stay home for potentially days on end, so I wanted to have fun new activities and projects to do with my daughter! RELATED READING: DIY "Frozen" Themed Sensory Bottle We started out by making a "Frozen" movie themed sensory bottle, which was a big hit! (Sophie … [Read more...]
DIY “Frozen” Themed Sensory Bottle
Sophie and I have really gotten into sensory activities lately! It all started when I picked the date to officially begin potty training. With the method we were using, I knew we'd have to stay home for potentially days on end, so I wanted to have fun new activities and projects to do with my daughter! Side note: I've heard other parents remark that potty training times can really help you reconnect and bond with your busy toddler all over again, and I can relate. I felt like Sophie and I … [Read more...]
Ham, White Cheddar, & Broccoli Quiche
Bjorn and I came up with this quiche recipe one day when he was home from school during a blizzard! I suppose another name for this could be "Snow Day Quiche," because now we've made it on two separate occasions when we've been cooped up inside due to the winter weather! :) We've had crepes before that involved ham, cheese, and broccoli, and it's such a winning combination. The flavors work beautifully together in a quiche as well! (And the white cheddar adds a lot!) This quiche makes a great … [Read more...]
Valentine’s Day Love Bug Footprint Craft
'Tis the season again! I have such fun doing little crafts like these with my kids for the holidays. I'm not generally a very crafty person, but a DIY handprint or footprint craft always seems feasible enough! I've found that if I'm intentional about the materials, the set up, and the clean up, then it's doable and fun! This year, Sophie and Soren and I made little "Love Bugs" valentines! These only required the kids getting paint on one foot, so it was workable and enjoyable for all of … [Read more...]
How I Prepped Freezer Meals for Baby #2 (including recipes!)
I'm excited to share this post, now that I've decided I'm officially done with all the freezer meals I want to do! :) If you count each individual meal, I have made 18 meals, plus some grab-and-go breakfast/snack items. Each meal should technically feed our family for more than one meal...so I'm pretty pleased with how this project turned out! :) I prepared a lot of freezer meals back when I was expecting Sophie 2 years ago as well, so this is my second time prepping this way! However, back … [Read more...]
Our Simple Fall Decor
I'm going to tell you right away: even though I'm writing a post about fall decor, our Christmas tree is definitely up in the living room already! :) We decided to set it up early this year, along with our other Christmas decor, because baby boy could come any day and then life will be just a little bit more busy! ;) Anyway, Thanksgiving still isn't for a couple of weeks, and it is still technically fall! We may have snow on the ground here in Minnesota, but I've been enjoying all the fall … [Read more...]

As always, I only share products here that I actually use and do recommend! As you know, Bjorn and I are the parents of a very sweet and very busy 2-year-old!
