My Favorite Indoor Activities For Toddlers

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

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...]

My Postpartum Favorites The Second Time Around

I love this kind of blog post. I always find it interesting to read what other moms have found helpful (or even essential!) with their kids. Of course, you have to evaluate for yourself what will work best for your own family, but my hope is that my sharing these products with you will be both useful and encouraging! There are great items out there that can make the postpartum season even more enjoyable and workable. First, a quick note on this postpartum experience with Soren. As you might … [Read more...]

DIY “Frozen” Themed Sensory Bottle

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...]

Valentine’s Day Love Bug Footprint Craft

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...]

Sophie’s Horse-Themed 2nd Birthday Party

January 11, 2020 |

Sophie’s Horse-Themed 2nd Birthday Party

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...]
