Cleaning up while the kids are awake used to sound impossible to me. Until Sophie was a year old, I’d get caught up in the chaos of eating lunch, food prep, or bedtime routines and I wouldn’t take charge of getting daily messes cleaned up...until Sophie was asleep. Naptime automatically became a ‘watch the clock’ situation of running around tidying and doing dishes with one eye on the clock, all the while wishing I was doing something else before she woke up again. It was a perspective … [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...]
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...]

It's been quite some time since I've shared a favorites post here! I absolutely love reading them on others' blogs, or seeing other women share their favorites on YouTube. If you've followed the person for a while, then it's like getting recommendations from a good friend! :) As always, I only share products that I personally use and actually like! The last favorites post I shared was my May 2019 Favorites! Wow. A lot of life has happened since then, so here are my tried-and-trues from summer … [Read more...]
Recipes We’ve Been Loving Lately (+ a peek at what we’re trying this week!)
Maybe it's pregnancy, nesting, or it's just a new fun "hobby," but I've been really into finding new recipes recently! Some of them have been healthy and some have been...well, not healthy, but definitely still delicious! :) Bjorn was gone for a month this summer for army, and that's when I got a bit carried away with desserts! Hypothetically, it's a little dangerous for me as a pregnant mama to sit home alone with my daughter and a huge batch of raspberry dark chocolate cookies. … [Read more...]
