Photo Books & Fresh Looks
2022 has felt so refreshing and intentionally slow these past couple of weeks. We’re casually tackling items on our to do lists like freshening up our bedroom and getting our photo books printed. I used the Chatbooks app to organize 8×8 hard cover books and print from my phone (not at all sponsored, just so…

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.

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…

Snickerdoodles & Slowing Down
September is one of my favorite times of the year. We really start to gear up for all the fun holidays to come, and there’s a peace about a summer well spent. And I waste no opportunity to throw a batch of snickerdoodles in the oven. Dillon and I have been busy tackling some house…
