The last time I shared a peek at our daily life was back in January! Since then, Sophie has grown and matured SO much, I've gotten a better hold on my anxiety, we've found out we're pregnant with our second child (due in late November!), and even more! With all these shifts and changes going on, our schedule has shifted a bit as well. If you love reading others' daily rhythms and routines like I do, then you'll enjoy today's post! I'm including a lot of extra commentary, as is my custom, haha, … [Read more...]
Our Daily Routine
It's high time for another daily routine post! :) The last time I shared a full daily routine was last April, when Sophie was 6 months old! I had been aching for some semblance of predictability - I find comfort in schedules - and I'm happy to say we settled into a great daily rhythm for a long time. However, one of the major components of raising littles is change, and change has certainly happened! Solveig is just about 15 months old now and our days look a lot different from when I shared … [Read more...]

Our Daily Routine
Sophie is 4 and a half months old, and I am so in love with our little life we've built -- by now, I can read her needs really well, she knows her mama really well, and together we giggle and play and learn during the day...and wait for Daddy to come home so we can continue the fun and the snuggles with him! Remember how in past posts, I kept saying I was looking forward to getting into a routine? Well, I can now say we have one! (Hooray!)

How to Have a Simpler, Happier Morning

During the work week, the introvert in me casts a wistful glance around the dark living … [Read more...]

I admire her for her gentle spirit, her desire to serve the Lord in all she does, and most recently, her beautiful mother heart. She shared what God has been teaching her in her recent post Hope For Midnight Mamas and I'm … [Read more...]
