Oh my goodness. I just got around to editing photos we took in October (lol. #mamalife) and my heart may have melted a tad bit. Hilde was so tiny! I remember this outfit - it is one of the 0-3 month ones and now we are rocking the 6-12 month category. Also, she was a sneaky smiler at this time - we would freak out at any kind of hint of a smile. Now here at nearly 5 months, we can get her to smile at us all the time but these little 8 week old smiles are just the cutest. They say babies don't ... continue reading...
Homemade Clay Ornaments
We tried the salt dough ornaments that everyone was talking about on Instagram but they didn't turn out so great. They cracked pretty quickly and within a week one broke all the way in half, falling off the tree! I still loved the idea so I asked in my Instagram stories and multiple people told me to use the one that has cornstarch. So I followed your advice and they turned out WAY better! The color is whiter, the dough is smoother, and the imprints came out much clearer. We made these fun ... continue reading...
Our Daily Moments
January 8th, 2019 Hilde Joy is 2o weeks old today. How it has been that many weeks since I was pregnant? I have NO idea. One of my favorite Instagramers @steph.pollock has a fun series called #thedailymoments and we joined in this week! Our days are a lot of naps, snuggles, laying around, nursing, and snuggling. I notice it even more when taking photos of the day - so many repeat activities! But I love noticing these details and these little moments. Our days may be simple but they are also so ... continue reading...
My favorite Amazon purchases of 2018
Oh hey! Me over here. Looks like I'll be still recapping 2018 until the end of January ;) But really, so many times this year I've answered "I got it from Amazon!" to the age old question, "Where did you get that?!" and I wanted to share some of my favorites from this past year. We buy SO MANY THINGS from Amazon so I wanted to limit this post to things that I discovered on Amazon and had not seen in real life before I bought it (because I know I am not the only one who price hunts for something ... continue reading...
Mama
With the new year on the horizon, I started loosely thinking about 2019. Historically I've picked a word for the year but this year nothing big was coming to mind. I would throw out words like purposeful, bold, brave, aware... but nothing stuck. One thing I did keep thinking about was motherhood and the first year of being a mom - specifically Hilde's mom. And then it hit me. Mama is my word for the year. Now I feel like this needs to be said with so many disclaimers. I know I am more than a ... continue reading...
