Soren’s Little Blue Truck First Birthday Party

February 5, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Soren’s Little Blue Truck First Birthday Party

I love party planning, especially themed parties! I don't go completely over the top, but I sure enjoy creating a special celebration for our kids and centering it around a theme. I'm excited to share today's post with you! It's hard to believe our son Soren is a one-year-old already! Time sure has flown by. He's such a happy, inquisitive, busy boy, and has been such a blessing to us all! Since we love the "Little Blue Truck" books in our family, I decided to go with a Little Blue … [Read more...]

Sophie’s Zoo-Themed 3rd Birthday Party

Sophie’s Zoo-Themed 3rd Birthday Party

Sophie turned 3 on October 16! It's hard to believe she's been a 3-year-old for a month already. Where has the time gone? Like we do every year, we had an early birthday party for Sophie (her birthday falls right in the middle of our busy harvest season around here!). But it's still just as special - plus, I'm of the opinion that having your birthday party on a different day than your birthday just spreads the celebration out more! How fun! :) Celebrating a couple weeks later on her actual … [Read more...]

Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Party (with recipes!)

If you've been around here for a while, then you know I have the tendency to be pretty ambitious with recipes and party planning! The rest of the time, I try not to go "all out" in my everyday life. :) But when I get bit by the party planning bug (and that usually includes the baking bug!), I get really excited. I love the whole process. Today I wanted to share with you what all I made for our Mother's Day tea party! A COUPLE OF OUR PAST PARTIES THAT I LOVED PLANNING:Our Gender Reveal … [Read more...]

Sophie’s Woodland First Birthday Party

Sophie’s Woodland First Birthday Party

I'm so excited about today's post! There was a lot of thinking and dreaming involved in planning Sophie's first birthday party. I'm not one of those people who knew the theme immediately upon learning they're expecting (haha), but I watched Sophie grow and thought about her interests and likes in order to come up with this party theme! (After all, this may be the only birthday that she isn't requesting certain themes! Mama got to dream this one up!) RELATED: Sophie's 1 Year Update! I … [Read more...]

There’s a party coming up…and you’re invited!

There’s a party coming up…and you’re invited!

If you've been reading this blog for the past year or so, then you've probably heard me mention Rodan + Fields! I've been an independent skincare consultant for R+F for over a year. I honestly feel like I have the best skin I've ever had...and I just turned 27! I'm so grateful to be using products in my 20s that will help prevent signs of aging as I get older. Now days, I wear less makeup than before -- I used to feel I had to put on a ton of concealer and powder, and it's nice not to … [Read more...]

How to Plan a Gender Reveal Party (+ a free invite download!)

How to Plan a Gender Reveal Party (+ a free invite download!)

We found out a few weeks ago that we are having a baby GIRL!! The day we found out was one of the most fun days of our life so far. Deciding TO Have a Gender Reveal Party: I had been on the fence about whether or not to have a gender reveal party, or if Bjorn and I should just find out the news ourselves at the doctor's office. Initially, I thought I'd decided not to have a reveal party, but as time went on, I kept thinking how special it would be to find out with family members … [Read more...]

How to Have a Simple At-Home Spa Day (+ an eye cream giveaway!)

How to Have a Simple At-Home Spa Day (+ an eye cream giveaway!)

Spa days are something beloved to many people, but they can be quite expensive! Shortly before I got married, I got my hair cut and highlighted, and the day before our wedding I got a massage, a manicure, and a pedicure. It was quite the experience - and price point - to get all of those things taken care of in so short a time span!  ** Just so you know, I really don't do things like that at all! More on that later -- but I just wanted to say that these treatments were special since … [Read more...]

Holiday Appetizers We’re Eyeing (+ a Couple Tried-and-True Recipes!)

I hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving! It was a much-needed break for us, full of that festive combo of family, food, and relaxation.  Bjorn and I enjoyed Thanksgiving with his family on Thursday, and then we hosted some members of my family at our place on Friday! It was our first time hosting for an actual holiday, and it ended up being a big success! Even the turkey turned out! :) It was our first time roasting a turkey so I was a little nervous, but Bjorn really did a lot of the work … [Read more...]
