10 Things I Love

10 Things I LoveI’m currently holding a sick baby while she naps in her carrier. Keeping her close and upright helps her be able to sleep best with her snotty congested head. This is her first cold (not one of the most exciting “firsts”) and this mama heart is heavy about it. Her little sick face is so sad and just breaks my heart. I’ve got the humidifier running, theย NoseFrida on my desk, eucalyptus in the diffuser, and I keep kissing her head every couple minutes.

There are so many fun and exciting firsts and then there are the less exciting ones like first time getting puked on, first cold, first blow-out in public without an outfit change* (hasn’t happened to me yet because I am so scared about it and always have a least one extra outfit! hahah). Right now we are in the midst of those less exciting firsts and while I know it is completely normal, it is still making my emotions a bit of a mess. That mom guilt for letting her get sick, that unsureness that comes with being a first time mama, and those sad, sick eyes that water when she coughs. So to bring my mind out of this fog, I wanted to share some things I am loving.

10 Things I Love:

1. First off, the bow & romper from these photos are too cute.

2. This Patagonia Sweatshirt is the one I throw on nearly every time I leave the house. You can tell by my IG feed. I’m thinking about getting it in another color since it is my favorite. Like the Kiln Pink or Birch White. Is that weird?

3. These sign language alphabet blocks are so fun. I want to order them for Hilde’s toy box!

4. My friend Ashlee just started Cast & Copper and I cannot wait to get her budget journal in the mail!

5. Less than two weeks until Disney World!

6. Speaking of Disney World, I just ordered this outfit from Amazon! I had a bunch of adorable 3-6 month Disney stuff but little girl already outgrew all that! haha.

7. Our local Tuesdays Together for Colorado Springs. These ladies are THE BEST! If you are local, please join us!

8. Were plowing through Suits and it makes me want to rewatch White Collar.

9. We’ve also got some new favorite games – Azule & Wingspan!

10. Family. I’m so thankful we live in the same city as so much of our family.

You guys know how much I love photo projects and h You guys know how much I love photo projects and how I love filling our home with my favorite photos so you should not be surprised by this post ๐Ÿ˜œ I love @ArtifactUprising and I've done several photo projects with them over the years, so when I saw this calendar I thought it would be a perfect addition for the new year to bring joy to 2021! ๐Ÿฅ‚ It is the prettiest photo calendar that I ever did see! Just hung this baby up in our dinning room and I have to say, this room is about complete. Like complete complete! It even has baseboards! Maybe we will even get baseboards up in all the rooms this year ๐Ÿ˜‚ More on that later, but if you are in love with this calendar as much as I am, use code OAKS15 to save 15% on your order at #ArtifactUprising!ย ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
My word for the year is create. So I took two hour My word for the year is create. So I took two hours of my weekend to create this! ๐Ÿ˜‚ CHEERS ๐Ÿฅ‚ #tilemat
Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Insta Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Instagram lately. A couple months ago I deleted Instagram from my phone for a little break. And I keep doing it because it is so nice. Sometimes I delete the app but still have photos post because they are scheduled and now you know my little secret ๐Ÿ˜‰ โ 
โ 
But really, I just took another break and while I am committed to this place because it holds so many of my memories, I'm not like super addicted to it (which is really a healthy place to be!) HAHA. โ 
โ 
I'm realizing I don't have unlimited time to post and share all the things I want to and so when I do have time, I want to spend more time of it creating blog posts and less time scrolling IG. It's not you, it's me! HAHA. If you want to to keep hearing from me, make sure you are subscribed to our emails!! Link in bio and also stories!
