Fun & a 2021 Farewell
Sweet December, always a month full of fun; Christmas, our anniversary, and right into New Years Eve. We baked the cookies and wrapped plenty of presents, but the purest joy was sweet Nora’s face on Christmas morning. Nothing better than that. After some quiet Christmas celebrating at home, we packed it all up for a…

Cookies & Coziness
These last couple of weeks we have really been getting in to the holiday swing of things. And it’s been a nice mix of quiet nights with movies playing and busy activities with family and friends. On the bucket list for this year: a trip to the zoo lights, Christmas cookie baking, and salt dough…

Christmas Scenes & Evergreens
Over the past handful of years, we’ve refined much of our holiday decorations down to just a couple of storage bins. Somewhere along the line “Christmas minimalism”, as I’ve dubbed it, came to fruition. This season, so packed full of traditions, music, meals, decorations, presents, etc, can easily start to feel really heavy and cumbersome…

Fall Family Sessions
This fall, we’ve been busy with a number of family fall mini sessions at one of our favorite locations as well as the sweetest little newborn shoot for our dear friends. Capturing memories for these families has brought Dillon and I so much joy. And we can’t wait to continue to fill up our calendar…

Holiday Happenings & Happy Hearts
The days leading up to a holiday are sometimes just as busy as the holiday themselves between planning, prepping, baking and cooking and the regular day to day rhythms. Thanksgiving week can sometimes feel like a marathon. So as November begins to come to a close, we’re finally taking a deep breath and sigh of…

Little Hands & Lingering Autumn
Sweet November has rolled around, very quickly I might add. October was a busy one for us, but definitely in the best way. So much time spent with family and friends After Halloween, I love to lean into that wholesome autumn warmth. We keep the pumpkins out, dream up some apple pie designs, and prepare…

Simple Spookiness & Wholesome Weekends
Ahh, Halloween has made its way to our little house. Little signs of spookiness here and there. Nothing too grand, but a simple nod to the season is what I’m all about. We stopped at a teeny tiny local farm one afternoon for a pumpkin to carve. The weather felt like summer but we were…

Pumpkin Play & Autumn Days
Before I really let myself get into Halloween decorating, I like to first try to just add some touches of fall. Sweet little pumpkins around the house do the trick. Nora helped me pick out a few out at the store, they’re just the perfect little size for her hands! So, we placed them throughout…

A Busy Bee & Baby Gates
It seems like over the course of a week we went from Nora just getting good at cruising to now not being able to leave her anywhere for too long! She is on the go! Still cruising along everything around her, and I think in a few weeks she’ll be walking on her own. Needless…

Fall Capsule for Nora Bear
So very happy with Nora’s fall/winter capsule for the year. Pictured above are most of the items, not including one other peplum onesie, a few pajamas, tights, socks, and her shoes. Now that we’re nearing toddlerhood, we were in desperate need of some new clothes for the colder weather. But I have to be really…
