It still surprises me to look at the calendar and see that we're over halfway through November already! Can you believe it? Christmas shopping season is really upon us! Since I always enjoy reading others' online gift guides, I wanted to share a gift guide of my own with you today! Today I'm talking about some of our favorite baby products! These are all things that Sophie loves, or that we've been glad we had on hand and we love. :) I hope this list inspires you in your own holiday shopping … [Read more...]
Sophie’s Book Box (+ a promo code!)
If you know my husband or me at all, then you know we love to read! We love books and we love to learn. One of our favorite things to do is peruse the aisles of Barnes & Noble together, and we find it really really hard to say no to adding a new book to our collection. ;) Bjorn has hundreds of books that he's collected over the years - needless to say, a beautiful home library will be a must in our future home! Even though she's just one, our daughter Sophie loves to read, too! Every … [Read more...]
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.

No-Mess Autumn Tree Painting
I loved art projects as a kid. You could often find me downstairs early in the morning, poring through craft books and determining which project I'd attempt that day! :) Sometimes, I followed the directions step by step; other times, I made up my own craft! Even though I'm an adult now, I still really enjoy doing art projects with kids. I've made fun crafts with my nanny kids over the years, and I experienced a lot of art projects as an elementary school teacher, too! But what I've been … [Read more...]
Sophie’s Birthday Doll
You know the feeling you get when you're opening a present from someone and you see it for the first time, and it's so gorgeous and thoughtful you practically burst into tears? That's the feeling I got when I opened Sophie's Land of Mae heirloom doll. I'm so thrilled to be sharing about Sophie's beautiful dolly today, and the woman behind this awesome Etsy shop! I came across Land of Mae on Instagram a long time ago. I was drawn to the classic look of Stacy's lovely dolls! A … [Read more...]
How I Built Sophie’s Fall Wardrobe
One of the very first things I bought for Sophie was a pair of cute little baby boots, back when I was about 7 or 8 months pregnant. The boots looked tiny to me back then...and then our little girl was born and I laughed at how big the boots would be on her! Fast-forward till now...and my nearly 11-month-old baby girl is just now able to fit into them! It's funny how sizes seem all over the place until you're holding your own baby in your arms. But what makes shopping for your baby so special … [Read more...]
LILLEbaby Carrier: For Small Errands AND Big Adventures
This past summer was FULL of adventures, travels, and outings! It was such a special season because it was our daughter's first summer! I wanted to soak up all of the "summer things" with Sophie, even if she's a bit too young to remember it all. We traveled to Kentucky for 2 weeks (Bjorn had army training), and Branson, Missouri for almost a week, plus other trips to Iowa and to the Twin Cities in Minnesota to visit family. Most of the photos in this post were taken at a monastery we visited … [Read more...]
