One of my favorite things to read as I was preparing for Sophie's arrival last fall was any kind of blog post with baby product recommendations from real moms. I feel like a lot of ads pop up on Facebook (or in your inbox!) for new parents, with every company vying for your attention! It's really hard to know what's out there, and what's actually helpful. (This is something that's been getting on my nerves a lot lately; we have so, so many choices at our fingertips, and there are so many … [Read more...]
Our Nursing Story (With an Oat Mama Giveaway + Promo Code!)
Being a first-time mom, I had no idea what Sophie's and my feeding journey would look like! (And you can't truly know what it'll be like with each child until you try!) I definitely wanted to breastfeed; I wanted Sophie's immune system to get the benefits of breastmilk, and I wanted the special bond with my baby girl - not to mention it's FREE and a great way to save money! ;) However, I knew that there were so many variables involved, so I reminded myself that no matter what, fed is … [Read more...]
Sophie’s 9 Month Update
Sophie-girl is 9 months old! Here are the updates from this past month! This monthly update is late for a couple reasons: first of all, we were out of town last week so it was too hard to get a post published, and second, Sophie just went in for her 9 month doctor's appointment this week, so now we have the most up-to-date info! Sophie's 9 Month Update: Nicknames: Sophie B, Sophie Bean, BeeBee (probably the most often used one), Honey, Dolly, BeeBee Brynn, Bumblebee, and Sophie Saurus. … [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...]
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...]
