It's been so long since I've shared a Sophie update here on the blog! I did monthly updates of Sophie's first year of life but I didn't plan to do them forever. :) Her last update post was her one year update. Wow! Of course, if you follow me on Instagram (especially Instagram Stories), then you've seen tons of photos and videos and other snippets of our day-to-day life :) But either way, it feels like it's time to do another more official update post! Here's what she's been up to: Sophie's … [Read more...]
Valentine’s Day Bumblebee Footprint Craft
Sophie made two different Valentine's Day crafts this year! The first one was a handprint "blowing kisses" valentine, which I shared in this post, and today I'm sharing the second one we made! I love bumblebees and I think they're so cute in crafts. :) This is an easy craft you can do with your baby or toddler, and it fits the theme of Valentine's Day just perfectly when you add "Bee Mine" to the final product!

Valentine’s Day “Blowing Kisses” Handprint Craft
Once we hit February every year, Valentine's Day is just around the corner!! As soon as I saw we were nearing the end of January, I started brainstorming valentines that Sophie and I could make this year! Last year, we made little heart-shaped valentines out of her footprints! RELATED: Baby Footprint Valentine's Day Craft This year, I got extra ambitious (haha) and decided to do two crafts!! (You'll see the second one here on the blog soon!) I also felt extra gutsy because we did a … [Read more...]
My 25 Favorite Amazon Purchases in 2018
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...]
Sophie’s Favorite Books At 14 Months
My husband and I absolutely love reading, although I'd have to say that Bjorn reads way more than I do! (While both of us are the can't-say-no-to-buying-books, read-in-bed-in-the-evening types of people, Bjorn takes it a step further and can be found listening to audio books all the time, too - while farming in the tractor, while driving to work, while he does the dishes, and more!) Needless to say, we own hundreds of books and our one-year-old has her own awesome collection starting as well! … [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...]
November Recap + Life Update
Hard to believe it's December, even though we're already about halfway through! This update post is obviously different from past update posts - first of all, because it's so late! :) I'll get into that more soon. I love how recap posts function as a sort of journal about our everyday life, or different seasons, so even though this one is late, it's still going up. ;) And...it's going to be more of a wordy post than others! November Recap: November was a more difficult month. Some months, … [Read more...]
