A Trip to the Zoo

While my sister was in town, we did a lot of that newborn stuff. You know – sitting around nursing babies, changing diapers, scheduling outings around nap times, sucking boogers out of noses, and trying to protect the infants from the toddler. A lot of it took place at home (like these cousin photos) but we also tried to adventure out on our own each day so as to not go crazy at home.

We went to the zoo with our three littles (and my mom). It was nice to have one-on-one defense on one of my first more adventurous outings after Millie was born! It was a beautiful Colorado Winter day, so we bundled up to head out & enjoy the sunshine. There was quite a bit more snow at the zoo than our house so we were glad we dressed accordingly!

We have a membership so we didn’t feel like we needed to see all the things. We pretty much strolled around (and Hilde ran around) for as long as all the kids could handle – stopping at a coffee shop to drink hot drinks and nurse the babies! It was so nice to get outside and breathe fresh air while also entertaining Hilde! And I took all these photos that I wanted to share here with you!

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 😜 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! πŸ₯‚ 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 πŸ˜‚ 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!Β πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

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 πŸ˜‰ ⁠
⁠
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. ⁠
⁠
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!
