My husband and I are kind of obsessed with learning. We get a lot of enjoyment out of it! We dream of having a gorgeous office library someday, featuring a couple leather armchairs and filled with dark wood bookshelves from the floor to the ceiling. And we do have a pretty ample start to our collection - Bjorn has well over 500 books already and I'm working on catching up. ;) If you stroll past our current smaller bookshelves in our guest bedroom, you'll see books on everything from the Amish to … [Read more...]
Our Best Baby Sleep Tips and Strategies (Age 4-6 Months)
I've mentioned in Sophie's recent updates that we've been extra intentional about her sleep routines these past few months. I know that things change as babies get older, but we've experienced some awesome success with her (read: sleep for everybody!) so I wanted to write a blog post about our strategies before things change again, haha. Sophie was a great flexible napper earlier on in her life, and would be fine napping anywhere and near anyone (like many little babies are!). But we … [Read more...]
Professional Teeth Whitening At Home (with a giveaway!)
Let's talk smiles! I'm really grateful for the fact that I had braces as a kid. Sure, they're uncomfortable and annoying when you're in middle school, but they are a worthy investment in a future smile and I'm immensely thankful to my parents that we were able to make that happen! While I love having teeth that are functional and straight, I've wished they were whiter for years now. Not in a shallow way - "Barbie" shouldn't be the goal here - but I just always wondered if there was … [Read more...]
How to Find Your Blogging Inspiration Again (+ a free workbook!)
If you're a blogger like me (or a writer in any aspect!), then I'll bet you've had moments where you sit in front of the computer, knowing you want to get something up on the blog, or get material written, but wondering what. Staying inspired is one of the most difficult facets of being a blogger. It's certainly not a magical process, where we simply upload a couple good pictures and the post basically writes itself! ;) And sometimes it's not a lack of an urge to write...it's just the … [Read more...]
My Favorite Baby Products (Months 3 to 6)
Like I mentioned in an earlier post back when Sophie was just 3 months old, Bjorn and I have slowly been curating a collection of baby-related items that we're really grateful we have! Some have been recommended to us or given to us, and we've found some on our own after research or randomly at the store, but each product in today’s post is a favorite of ours! Today, I'm essentially continuing the post I wrote back when Sophie was 3 months old...but this time, we're 3 more months down the … [Read more...]
10 Kitchen Habits To Save Time + Avoid Waste
I love spending time in the kitchen! I get SO much joy out of standing in our quiet, sunlit kitchen, washing strawberries in our farmhouse sink, stirring soup, chopping veggies for curry, or whipping up another batch of oatmeal bars. My husband grew up in a home where they really love spending time in the kitchen together, as well - whether it is spent sitting around the kitchen table chatting about their day, playing games, or chopping up ingredients for a family taco night (I LOVE those!). … [Read more...]
DIY Custom Poem Canvas
I'm so excited about today's post, because I've honestly been wanting to share it with you for months now! Remember how I designed Sophie's nursery to be a "southern garden" theme? I had a very detailed mood board and everything! I wrote all about it in this post (and you can see the mood board here, too!). If you looked closely at the mood board for Sophie's room, then you probably saw that it included a type of poem written in small font. This wasn't just an example of any kind of poem … [Read more...]
My Favorite Baby Products (3 Months In)
Sophie is almost 3 months old already! Time really does fly when you're having fun. ;) Over the past few months, Bjorn and I sure have learned a lot!! (And goodness knows, we'll be learning more about parenting each day for the rest of our lives!) Being new parents is an incredibly wonderful experience, although it has its share of brand-new challenges and steep learning curves. But there is so much joy involved! It makes any harder moments totally worth it! I mean, take a look at this sweet … [Read more...]
