June 2020

We’re more than halfway through summer (and 2020!) This summer definitely has moved at a slower pace. There’s been less hustle and rush and I’m not mad about it. Walks around our neighborhood and park visits. Chasing the ice cream truck. Working on our landscaping, the house, and the garden, and decluttering. And shooting a…

April & May 2019

Hey everyone! Happy Memorial Day weekend! It’s pretty thrilling to be on the brink of summertime, isn’t it? I’ve been a busy bee, but I definitely wanted to take a moment and gather up all things spring from the past two months and do a little life update à la iPhone photos. So here are…

Halfway through summer!

The midpoint of summer has arrived and although I feel like we’ve done so much, I know there’s still more  to squeeze in! Above is a photo of Rosie borrowing her friend’s motorcycle and riding into summer like the coolest cat you’ve ever seen. Here is everything that’s gone on so far and the photographic proof…

Life Lately via iPhone

Hello! April has been a crazy up and down month in terms of weather and also schedule-wise. Does it ever slow down? Haha, no. A lot has been going on and it’s been tough to find time to post the fun stuff! That being said, here’s some of my favorite pics from my phone from…

Inching closer to spring!

Hi, all! We are inching closer to springtime and that’s what continues to inspire me to get out of bed and join the world every day. That and lots of fun upcoming events (like Cece’s dance recital this weekend!). Here are a few other phone-captured things we have been up to lately. I’ve mentioned this…

Greetings from February!

Hi, all! Look how happy we are that we survived January!  (You know, just to be in the middle of a big old blizzard now.) BUT we aren’t letting all this crazy weather get us down. It’s Thursday, but I feel like we are still coming off a great weekend. Joe did not have to…

The 12 Dates of Christmas (Part II)

What a holiday season it has been! I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas (and I REALLY can’t believe my shopping is done and holiday cards are out.) Below is the second half of my alleged“12 Dates of Christmas.” Date #7: Christmas Tree Shopping! Ok, so we actually have a perfectly sized artificial tree at home….

The 12 Dates of Christmas (Part I)

Last year, a few bloggers that I follow were writing their versions of the  “12 Dates of Christmas.” Many were actually going on 12 Christmas-themed dates with their significant other during December and taking magazine-quality pics to include in their posts. I think it would be seriously impressive if Joe and I were able to…

Apple Orchard Field Trip 2015

This week, Cece and I boarded a big yellow school bus with her teachers and classmates and had a delightful morning at Minnetonka Orchards. I took very similar photos with my phone as last year! Kind of fun to compare though. We did not pick apples, but we did go on a hayride, listened to…

September Highlights

The past few weeks have me convinced that September just might be my favorite month of the year. Even if it’s not my birthday month.To me, it felt like experiencing fall and summer at the same time. The beginning of the month had days so warm that the girls were still in bathing suits hitting…
