I've got lots of plants around my house. Most are real (which is kind of crazy!) but we've got some fake ones hidden around as well! I wanted to buy a bunch of fake fiddle figs but I ended up buying three real ones at the store when they were only $16 (what the what?!) I couldn't help myself. Now the task before me is to keep them alive. One of the best things about faux plants is that you don't have to take care of them! A little dusting every now and again will keep them looking the same as ... continue reading...
Hip Dysplasia
I cried while we were at the doctor's office and the pediatric orthopedist was fitting Hilde for her hip brace. Ever since she was born, doctors and nurses were telling us about how she would need a hip ultrasound because she was born breech but would have to wait until she was a month or so old.

Being ... continue reading...
Baby’s First Bath

The Pumpkin Patch

Often we go here just to walk around. It is a beautiful historic property in our neighborhood and way before we had Hilde, we would take walks around the ranch and into Garden of the Gods. But I love going to their events as well because they do such a fun job. My love for tradition makes this event entered into my ... continue reading...
Hilde’s First Colorado Fall
This whole year very well may be a bunch of blog posts called "Hilde's First __________" fill in the blank. I always said this blog wouldn't turn into a "mommy blog" and I still stand by that BUT this blog and the content here will never look the same. I've always loved the freedom of being a lifestyle blogger because this space keeps up with me as I age. I started this blog EIGHT whole years ago and my life looks nothing like it did back then. That was pre kids, pre marriage, and even pre ... continue reading...
