Little Adventures & Lasting Impacts
I’m back on a podcast kick (I seem to go in and out of seasons with listening). But a recent episode I’d listened to had me thinking a lot about adventures as a family. It’s a notion I’m sure I considered before having Nora but now that we are in the thick of parenting a…

Cupcakes & Zoo Dates
My sweet tooth is dangerous. Truly. I absolutely must end each day with something chocolate. This week, it’s homemade chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Yum. My nightly dessert is just one of the many rhythms of our day to day, but undoubtedly one of my favorites. Along with my evening treat the last week or…

Matching Sets & Mondays
Lately, Mondays have been wildly productive for me. It’s not that they weren’t before, but with Nora we like to spend as much free time as we can with family and having fun. And for us, that naturally occurs towards the end of the week and weekend. So as I anticipate the fun to be…

Baby Feet and Black Tea
I’ve found myself picking up my phone a little less, and grabbing the big camera a little more. I’m finding more depth with my love and learning of photography and can’t wait to continue to share some galleries here. Capturing Nora on camera though has grown increasingly more difficult because she is such a wiggle…

Cheers to 2021 from the Olson Family
If you told me last year that this holiday season we’d be taking Christmas card pictures with our new baby girl, I would not have believed it for a minute. From the moment we found out we were expecting, we’ve been in an effortless cloud of happiness. Despite the pain and hardship this year has…
