Whew! What a blur these last few months have been! Back when I was pregnant with Sophie, the pregnancy updates were a lot more frequent and timely! ;) But now I'm chasing around a busy toddler and our schedule has been quite full lately, so it's taken even longer for me to get around to blogging! In today's post, I'm going to share some of the basic highlights (and some of the more difficult things, I suppose) from the first trimester this time around! (PS - in case you missed it, here's our … [Read more...]
Some exciting news!
I'll let Sophie spill the beans... :) We're excited to announce that we're becoming a family of 4!! Thank you, God, for this precious gift! Baby #2 is due at the end of November and we can't wait to meet our little one! I'll share more in future blog posts, but right now I'm just enjoying the fact that I'm in the second trimester now and feeling much better! :) … [Read more...]
Sophie’s 18 Month Update
It's been a couple months since the last Sophie update, so I'm excited to share one today! Our sweet girl is a year and a half today! Can you believe it? Every day, she's acting less and less like a baby and more like a little kid! (It makes me savor those pre-nap cuddle sessions extra these days.) Her most recent updates, if you'd like to catch up: 12 Month Update and 16 Month Update :) Here's what Solveig's been up to lately: Sophie's 18 Month Update: Nicknames: BeeBee, Missy … [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...]
Our Daily Routine
It's high time for another daily routine post! :) The last time I shared a full daily routine was last April, when Sophie was 6 months old! I had been aching for some semblance of predictability - I find comfort in schedules - and I'm happy to say we settled into a great daily rhythm for a long time. However, one of the major components of raising littles is change, and change has certainly happened! Solveig is just about 15 months old now and our days look a lot different from when I shared … [Read more...]
Our New Family Growth Ruler (+ a promo code!)
I'm so excited about today's post! I've been looking forward to sharing this one with you! :) I'm one of three children, and while we were growing up, my mom kept a growth chart ruler hanging in our bathroom to mark down our heights. It is so neat to look back over the years and see how little we once were! It's such a precious keepsake to have around, especially after the kids grow up and move out! Ever since Sophie was born, I've been wanting a similar growth chart ruler in our home, so … [Read more...]
Sophie’s First Year Video
Happy Friday eve, friends! :) Hope you've been having a great week! I had planned to get this post up earlier in the week, but unfortunately I was under the weather for a few days so it didn't happen. But I finally got it done and I'm so excited to share this with you! We still can't believe our sweet baby girl is one already!! Sophie's birthday was on October 16 - and I finally got a slideshow pulled together of some of our favorite moments with her. I went with the more candid, everyday … [Read more...]
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...]
