I sure love my routines. Are you like that, too? I get such comfort out of having predictable, cozy rhythms in my day. While I can't control everything, of course, I do get some security (and joy!) out of the little things I can determine for myself. After learning last fall that I'm going to have to control anxiety in my life, I think these habits and routines have brought me even more comfort! Additionally, routines like these help me to stay productive and not get overwhelmed! 11 Habits … [Read more...]

Sophie’s 16 Month Update
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...]
January 2019 Favorites
I love favorites posts. They're one of my favorite kinds of posts to read (or videos to watch). :) If it's shared by someone I've been following for a long time, then it truly feels like I'm getting recommendations from a friend! And recommendations are so much better when you already know and trust the person. So, my hope for today's post is that you feel like you're hearing these recommendations from me as your real-life friend! :) I'm only sharing things in favorites posts that I actually use … [Read more...]
What’s For Dinner Wednesday (4 More Meal Ideas)
How is it Wednesday already?! It's been a weird week around here, since we got back into town on Sunday night (Bjorn had had army training at Fort Knox for a week, and Sophie and I were in the Twin Cities that week, helping my mom after she broke her arm). And then Tuesday was a snow day (the 6th or 7th one this year?!) and we had a 2-hour late start this morning. Whew! Anyway, it's high time to get back into routines around here, and one of my favorite weekly things to do is to get our What'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!

What’s For Dinner Wednesday (3 More Meal Ideas)
It's the third installment of our "What's For Dinner Wednesday" series! I've recently really gotten into finding quick or simple meals to make for supper. As much as I love an ambitious recipe (and enjoy cooking), I'm also a big fan of an easy supper that I can pull together with our busy 15-month-old daughter nearby! :) I'm also trying out a free month of Plan to Eat (an online account and app that stores recipes for you, helps you plan your meals out, and creates your whole shopping list! - … [Read more...]
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!!
