I'd say spring is officially here! Here's what we've been up to this past month, plus a peek ahead at May. April Recap: The month of April wasn't as busy as our month of March was! (See our March recap for proof of that!) But I'm okay with seasons of busyness intermixed with seasons of calmer times. So much of life works that way, you know? And things will pick up again in busyness for us in May, but the month of April has been a nice in-between season. :) ^^ Sophie at her 6 month … [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...]
From the List to the Table: My Meal Planning Process
One of my favorite parts of the week is grocery shopping! Do you like shopping for meals, too? It's such a good feeling to have a well-stocked refrigerator ready to go for the week, isn't it? :) But having a full fridge and meals for the week doesn't start and end there with a big grocery trip. A good amount of planning and thought goes into the process, to make sure we're doing it wisely! I was determined to get into meal planning at the start of this year. Although I've definitely mapped … [Read more...]
Our Daily Schedule With a 6 Month Old
Time sure flies, doesn't it? Somedays, I'm blown away when I realize just how long Sophie's been a part of our family! It feels like I just wrote about our daily routine, but things have changed! Sophie was about 4 months old when I described our daily routine last time, and now she's 6 months old! It's been requested that I share our new daily rhythm, so here goes! RELATED READING: Sophie's 6 Month Update I mentioned in Sophie's 6 month update that I have been working really hard to … [Read more...]
Friendship in Marriage (After Having a Baby)
My husband Bjorn and I are best friends. And there's weight behind those words. This is my personal opinion, but I think that some people whisk their way into marriage without evaluating the question of, Can I truly do daily life with this person? It seems that so many people love "how he makes me feel" or how in love they feel - expressing how constantly exciting and dramatically uplifting it is for them to be in love! That's all wonderful, in a way...but I don't think we should overlook the … [Read more...]

A Collection of “It’s Still Winter” Memes
It's still (stillll) winter here in Minnesota, which is crazy! Yes, I've had snow days off from school in April before (and perhaps even May?!) but for some reason, this winter has seemed especially long. I think that's partly due to the fact that I'm not teaching full-time this school year and I'm home with my daughter instead. So, it's been a whole new routine to get used to, and with these quieter days at home, it has felt like this winter is dragging on and on! Sophie was born in October … [Read more...]
Our Favorite Handmade Wooden Toys (+ a discount for you!)
Even before I was pregnant with Sophie, I was pretty adamant that my home wouldn't be filled with mounds of electronic toys. While I have calmed down a bit in regards to that idea (for instance, Sophie has a play gym with an owl that plays songs)...something in me still remains such a fan of the more handmade category of toys. Thank you to Bannor Toys for these toys! (I partnered with Bannor Toys on Instagram, but because I'm so impressed, I also wanted to share about the company here on the … [Read more...]
