As a mom of toddlers, I am always thinking of and searching for little activities to fill our days. Crafting is one of those sweet spots for us. Nearly every day we have creative time whether it is just water colors & coloring sheets, markers and construction paper, or glue projects with the junk art box (tp rolls, packing paper from packages, art scraps, oatmeal boxes, and other random things for crafting.) But I also love to craft intentionally with the seasons, the holidays, and the ... continue reading...
Easter Baskets
Easter Baskets are a tradition in our family. Growing up every year, we always had one and I plan to do one for the kids every Easter they wake up in our home (see past ones here: 2021, 2020, 2019)! I just love the idea of an intentional basket filled with goodies to make Easter Sunday an even more celebratory day! Last year I found these adorable felt baskets at Pottery Barn and when we entered this Easter season pregnant, I went back to see if I they still had them so I could get a third ... continue reading...
Our First Three Rolls of Film
You read that right - our first three rolls of film! It all started when we picked up a Pentax K1000 the other Saturday morning at the thrift store.

Easter Day & Millie’s Baptism
April 4th, 2021 Well would you believe that this post is one year late? It is! Welcome to Easter 2021. In typical Easter fashion, I have added photos to this post and left it in the drafts for nearly a year. While Hilde's Easter Baptism was hard for me to write since it was packed with so much processing and theology over infant baptism, this one was hard because of COVID. Millie was supposed to be baptized in 2020 on Easter Sunday but lockdowns happened in mid March and we didn't think it ... continue reading...
Hilde’s Baptism on Easter Sunday
April 21st, 2019 This post is about three years late. There is something about hitting publish on something so significant that it is easier to keep putting it off. Every Easter I remember that I still need to get this post together but for some reason or another it just stays in my drafts (for all those without a blog, that is my never-ending backend list with posts I've started but never finished. There are literally 100's there!) A post about Baby's First Easter Basket or Jammies for Big ... continue reading...
