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...]
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!! I’m a sucker for fresh starts. I love making goals and to-do lists, I love looking ahead, and I love that spark of ambition that comes with a new dream. Actually, to be honest, September always feels like more of a fresh start to me than January does, since I visualize every year in terms of school years (that’s what happens when you’re a teacher and you’re also married to one!). But on this sunny January 1st, I’m feeling extra hopeful and motivated. The past year was … [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...]
June Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in July
It's time for another monthly update! Here's a peek at our past four weeks (plus a peek ahead at the month of July)! June Recap: We celebrated Signe's graduation! Bjorn's sister Signe graduated from college (a whole year early!) at the start of June. Her graduation ceremony was in Las Vegas, and we had been planning on going, but with how things were going with planting season this year, we ended up needing to be at home. However, we were able to watch her walk live online! We hooked it up … [Read more...]
