Sophie has been obsessed with horses for a long time! By now, she has done at least 7 pony rides (on everything from miniature horses to horses way taller than me!). She's calm and confident around them, while still being careful. Bjorn told me he has already resigned himself to the fact that he will probably be buying Sophie a pony someday. :) This is all so fun for me because I loved horses as a young girl, too, but never really pursued riding or had close experiences with horses (until I took … [Read more...]
Introducing Soren! (+ his birth story + his name)
We have someone very special to introduce to you today! :) If you follow me on Instagram or on my blog's Facebook page, then you've already met him, but I'm especially excited about today's blog post because it covers even more than that!

Sophie’s 2 Year Update
Sophie turned 2 over a month ago - it's still so crazy to us that we have a 2-year-old now!! Where did our little baby go?! I've been keeping notes on my phone about what Sophie's been up to lately. It's so fun to have a snapshot of exactly what she's like at the moment! Without further adieu, here's her 2 year update! Sophie is a very talkative little lady! People always exclaim over how many words she knows - whether it's songs or just general chattiness. :) She has totally … [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...]
Fall 2019 Pregnancy Update + Life Update
Hey friends! I'm excited about today's post because I feel like we just get to sit down and chat! :) Although it would've been nice to maintain a regular pregnancy bumpdate posting schedule...life has been busy and it just didn't happen. #secondchildproblems (Sorry, little guy! We still love you so much!!) So, I'm taking the time today to update you on all things baby and otherwise! I know I enjoy reading other bloggers' (and non-bloggers') life updates - I genuinely care about what's going … [Read more...]
Recent Favorites (food, toddler, clothing, + home)
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...]
Our Daily Routine
The last time I shared a peek at our daily life was back in January! Since then, Sophie has grown and matured SO much, I've gotten a better hold on my anxiety, we've found out we're pregnant with our second child (due in late November!), and even more! With all these shifts and changes going on, our schedule has shifted a bit as well. If you love reading others' daily rhythms and routines like I do, then you'll enjoy today's post! I'm including a lot of extra commentary, as is my custom, haha, … [Read more...]
Dressy OR Casual Maternity Style with PinkBlush (+ a promo code for you!)
If you've been following along with me on Instagram for a while now, then you know I'm a big fan of PinkBlush and their clothing! While PinkBlush does offer maternity AND non-maternity clothing, I first started purchasing PinkBlush items back when I was pregnant with Sophie, two summers ago. Now that I'm pregnant again (this time, with our little guy!), I've found myself buying more maternity (or just plain bump-friendly) pieces once more. This is for two reasons: first, (because as I've … [Read more...]
