This should be an ad for the UPPAbaby stroller we got when we found out we were pregnant with Hilde four years ago. All three babies on this stroller that has wheeled us reliably through so many adventures! First one, then two, and now three kiddos. We took our first family stroll the other day and my heart swelled with joy. We didn't go far or fast as my insides were still healing from my third c-section, but the fresh air and movement did us all some good. Already people are asking me ... continue reading...
Our Boy Nursery Reveal
Welcome to Thorin's nursery! It is so fun to have a boy room to put together. Not one thing of pink or floral... okay, well the stacking bears does have a rose blush colored one but I just had to add the warmth and it was cuter than the blue set ;) This room operated as guest bedroom/ storage space for the last two years but just weeks before Thorin's birth, it was finally transformed into his nursery!

Belly Faces
And the belly faces made it in! We procrastinated a bit this pregnancy with our to-do list so these last weeks/ months have been CRAZY. We totally redid and FINISHED two bedrooms (the guest bedroom and the nursery) so that took up a lot of our time and energy! Room reveals coming after I get settled into this new season ... so unknown timeframe ;) But belly face photos in the nursery were also on that list because I am a sucker for TRADITION! It started with Hilde in 2018 when I wanted ... continue reading...
