Cheers! Millie is one. And just like that the year flew by! Partly thanks to COVID and partly just the realty of life. Like they always say, the days are long but the years are short! Millie turned 1 along with the changing of the New Year to 2021 so we thought we should just embrace it and do a New Year's theme! It also was a great excuse to get all the Christmas decorations put away! Millie's first birthday looked different from Hilde's fist. One being the difference between a Summer ... continue reading...
2021 Photo Calendar
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 Artifact Uprising 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!

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land." - Psalm 95:1-5 This year was our first year celebrating Epiphany. It's honestly only a term I've learned recently. When we were pregnant with Hilde we started going to a small ... continue reading...
How to Celebrate the New Year without Staying up until Midnight in ColoraDo Springs
If you are anything like me, you will not be staying up until midnight this year to watch 2022 come. Don’t get me wrong, I love celebrating all the holidays but as a 30-something mama of toddlers, I don’t have the energy to party that late into the night. And for sure my sweet girls will be tucked into bed long before the clock strikes midnight! But just because we don’t actually see the clock change into the new year doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate the season! I wanted to share some tips ... continue reading...
