Last weekend, it finally warmed up enough for us to spend some longer stretches of time outdoors! It felt amazing! The sun shone for most of Saturday, so we brought Sophie over to my in-laws' farm and she got to try out her new rain boots in the farm yard! As I watched her run around happily, it struck me that the last time the weather was this warm (last fall), she wasn't even walking much yet! So that fun afternoon spent exploring outside ushered in a whole new era for us: Sophie-girl now gets … [Read more...]
November Recap + Life Update
Hard to believe it's December, even though we're already about halfway through! This update post is obviously different from past update posts - first of all, because it's so late! :) I'll get into that more soon. I love how recap posts function as a sort of journal about our everyday life, or different seasons, so even though this one is late, it's still going up. ;) And...it's going to be more of a wordy post than others! November Recap: November was a more difficult month. Some months, … [Read more...]
October Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in November
Can you believe October's over already?? That month sure flew by! I love sharing these recap posts because they allow me to journal and savor our day-to-day life a bit more...and, these posts give me the chance to look ahead! October Recap: October was Sophie's birthday month! The first week of the month was full of party planning (and tears over how quickly she's growing up!). :) We celebrated her October 16 birthday early because mid-October, especially, is a busy harvest season around … [Read more...]
September Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in October
I'm a bit behind with blogging lately (or at least it feels like it!) so I'm going to keep today's post a bit shorter! ^^ My little errands buddy! ^^ September Recap: We enjoyed a more low-key Labor Day with friends and family. We had actually planned on some intensive work on a building in our town, but that ended up not working out. But, we still got to host my brother Tyler and our friend Steve at our place for Labor Day weekend, which was a lot of fun! We even had family over, … [Read more...]
August Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in September
It's hard to believe it's September already! Here's what life looked like this past month...plus what we're looking forward to! August Recap: Bjorn was gone for army. Basically for all of August, or at least it felt that way! Bjorn was gone for 3 weeks for a more intensive annual training this year. Although I'm used to my husband being busy with his multiple jobs and commitments here at home, I'm still used to him coming home every night! It's a whole other thing to have him gone for 3 … [Read more...]
July Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in August
It's time for another monthly update! Here's a peek at our past four weeks (plus a peek ahead at the month of August)! I honestly considered not doing a recap this month, since it feels like I just did our June recap!! July passed so quickly and a lot of it got mentioned in Sophie's 9 month update. But, I do love journaling about our life this way and I don't want to let the month slide by without acknowledgement. :) So, without further adieu, here's what we've been up to! July Recap: 90th … [Read more...]
January Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in February
Today I'm recapping our January adventures, and peeking ahead at the rest of this month! January Recap: Starting to settle into a routine // This was one of the big things I was looking forward to (or hoping for) in the month of January! And I have to say, while things often do change around with babies, Sophie and I have settled into a bit of a nice routine around here! We're often up for the day between 7:30 and 8:30, and move along through the morning with sweet little rhythms of … [Read more...]
November Recap + What I’m Looking Forward To In December
Hey friends -- I mentioned this on Just Bee's Facebook page, but I have been super aware that I haven't been blogging as much lately, and I really want to get back into it! Thank you so much for your grace and for sticking with me as I find my footing as a new mama! Since we're already into December and I haven't yet done a November recap post (whoops!), I thought that today I'd just play "catch-up" and write a combo post! November Recap + What I'm Looking Forward To In … [Read more...]
