Sophie’s Book Box (+ a promo code!)

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...]

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...]

From the List to the Table: My Meal Planning Process

From the List to the Table: My Meal Planning Process

One of my favorite parts of the week is grocery shopping! Do you like shopping for meals, too? It's such a good feeling to have a well-stocked refrigerator ready to go for the week, isn't it? :) But having a full fridge and meals for the week doesn't start and end there with a big grocery trip. A good amount of planning and thought goes into the process, to make sure we're doing it wisely! I was determined to get into meal planning at the start of this year. Although I've definitely mapped … [Read more...]

10 Kitchen Habits To Save Time + Avoid Waste

10 Kitchen Habits To Save Time + Avoid Waste

I love spending time in the kitchen! I get SO much joy out of standing in our quiet, sunlit kitchen, washing strawberries in our farmhouse sink, stirring soup, chopping veggies for curry, or whipping up another batch of oatmeal bars. My husband grew up in a home where they really love spending time in the kitchen together, as well - whether it is spent sitting around the kitchen table chatting about their day, playing games, or chopping up ingredients for a family taco night (I LOVE those!). … [Read more...]

When To-Do Lists Aren’t a Good Thing

January 30, 2018 |

When To-Do Lists Aren’t a Good Thing

Let me start this post by saying I am not against to-do lists!! I am very much for keeping lists and managing life's commitments and priorities that way! However, lately I've been reflecting on a lot of things in my life, and my to-do list system is one of them. Organizing and compartmentalizing all the chaos in life is a favorite thing of mine! To seize some abstract task or worry out of midair, and twist and mold it into words on paper in a neat little list...it makes me feel all better! … [Read more...]

12 Things That Make Our House a Cozy Home

12 Things That Make Our House a Cozy Home

I'm excited about today's post, because I'm passionate about turning a house into a cozy, welcoming home! A home isn't just a building where you eat and sleep - it's where family and friends gather, where memories are made, and it's where we should be able to let out a deep breath and relax. Bjorn and I are currently renting a house and I have slowly, steadily (and with help) been able to turn this place into OUR cozy, happy place! Growing Into Our Current Place: Spring and Summer 2013 - the … [Read more...]

How I Prepped Crockpot Freezer Meals Before Baby (+ recipes!)

This week on my Instagram stories, I've been sharing a lot of behind-the-scenes peeks at my meal prep. I've been working hard on getting some meals ready and in the freezer for when our baby comes!

17 Autumn Projects To Do Before The Seasons Change

17 Autumn Projects To Do Before The Seasons Change

I know, I know -- maybe it seems early to think about winter! Here in Minnesota, it feels like September has barely arrived and people are already going all out with fall decor while keeping one eye on the impending cold. But that's how we plan ahead in this state! ;) Personally, I've been thinking about winter a lot already this year because I've been trying to plan ahead for our little one! Our daughter is due mid-October and while I'm so excited, I'm also a bit overwhelmed at the idea of … [Read more...]
