A New Kind of Golden Hour

A New Kind of Golden Hour

If you've been following my blog for a while, then you might remember all of the sunset photos I would post when I first moved here to rural, small-town Minnesota. This was over five years ago! I was in awe of the endless horizon, the sea of fields around me in every direction, the expanse of the sky above me. It honestly blew me away. I've always been quick to turn to thoughts of worship when it comes to natural beauty around me. It's just an inclination that many of us have. We look at the … [Read more...]

Best-Ever Wild Rice Soup

October 26, 2018 |

Best-Ever Wild Rice Soup

I've posted on Instagram a couple times about my favorite wild rice soup, and a lot of people asked for the recipe! I forgot about that until I did a poll a couple days ago on Instagram and got an overwhelming response that you'd still like the recipe that I never had shared, haha. :) I finally got my act together and I've typed it out here for you! The credit for this recipe goes to my mom. I can't remember where she got it, but this is how she and I have tweaked it over time! I have it in a … [Read more...]

Putting the House to Bed: My Evening Routine

Putting the House to Bed: My Evening Routine

I know, I know - to some people, this may not sound like the most exciting post! ;) But if you ARE anything like me, keep reading, friend, because you probably love hearing about others' home routines, too. Shall I start with a disclaimer? (I feel like moms shouldn't need one, since life with littles can have its share of curveballs, haha...but here goes.) This routine I'm sharing today is an ideal, quiet, predictable nightly routine. Some nights do not look like this. Some nights differ only … [Read more...]

Sophie’s Woodland First Birthday Party

Sophie’s Woodland First Birthday Party

I'm so excited about today's post! There was a lot of thinking and dreaming involved in planning Sophie's first birthday party. I'm not one of those people who knew the theme immediately upon learning they're expecting (haha), but I watched Sophie grow and thought about her interests and likes in order to come up with this party theme! (After all, this may be the only birthday that she isn't requesting certain themes! Mama got to dream this one up!) RELATED: Sophie's 1 Year Update! I … [Read more...]

Sophie’s 1 Year Update!

Sophie’s 1 Year Update!

I can't believe it! Solveig Brynn turned one yesterday! Happy birthday, sweet girl! We love you so. Sophie's 1 Year Update: ** This will be the last monthly update for Sophie, now that she's a year old. From this point on, I'd like to space them out more. Right now I'm thinking her next update will be at 15 months! Nicknames: Honey Bunny, Bunny, Bumblebee, BeeBee (the nickname she had ever since she was in the womb!), BeeBee Bonnet, Dolly Madison (haha), and more! Size: We'll … [Read more...]

Our 2018 Family Photos

Our 2018 Family Photos

This season of life we're in is such a fleeting one! Our little Sophie-girl will be turning one in a matter of days (so bittersweet!). I'm always a fan of snagging photos whenever we can. Even though they take effort and patience, they're always worth it. I'm convinced that they become even more precious to us over time. Bjorn and I have gotten more and more into taking our own family photos over the past several years. I think it has coincided with our photography skills improving over time, … [Read more...]

Simplifying Your Wardrobe with ThredUp’s Closet Clean-Out Bag

Simplifying Your Wardrobe with ThredUp’s Closet Clean-Out Bag

Is it just me, or is the spring cleaning bug totally an early fall thing, too? In the past few years, I've found myself more eager to do house purging and organizational tasks during the late summer months (as opposed to the spring months here in Minnesota). We had a garage sale this summer, and setting up for that motivated me even more to get rid of unnecessary items we had hanging around the house. But I didn't sell clothing at our garage sale...because I had an even better option in … [Read more...]

How I’m Rewriting My Inner Narrative

How I’m Rewriting My Inner Narrative

I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately! I've always loved psychology, and I love learning more about how the mind works. One of the things I've learned over the years is just how much our thought patterns can affect us...and others!  You've probably heard the term "personal narrative" before. In school and in English class, it meant a story told in first person, talking about a person's feelings and experiences from their perspective. Essentially, it puts you in the main character's … [Read more...]
