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 […]
Simple Mornings & Summertime Farewells
I’ve really sunk into our morning routines around here- Nora cuddles, make bed, get dressed, make coffee, tidy up, get breakfast going, and plan out the day while eating. And while that seems like a pretty packed list, it’s actually a slow and simple way to start each day. I’m definitely a creature of habit […]
Door County
We closed out our summer with a weekend trip up to Door County. It’s long since been a favorite location for us, and bringing Nora along made it even better. Beach trips, breweries, and bopping around the little shops in town were how we spent most of our days. Can’t wait to head back!
Shadow Dances & Mirror Glances
Nora has really found her reflection these days. I often find her stealing glances and giggles, sharing toys, waving, and giving kisses to that other little “baby” in the mirror. It’s one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. Days with her have gotten increasingly more adorable and more exciting. She’s cruising on furniture, opening […]
Baby Pools & Back to School
This season marks my third since taking a step back from teaching full time. And even though I don’t have a classroom or roster of students to prepare for, I still feel that familiar excitement and anticipation for back to school. There is just something so nostalgic about this time of year. The back to […]
July’s Light & Sleeping Through the Night
We never sleep trained, and likely never will. It’s just not for us. So we fully expected Nora to take a bit longer in establishing her own sleep routines and skills. And recently, she’s been doing so well. She just about puts herself to sleep in the evening. Stirs a bit throughout the night, and […]
Nora B’s Baptism
We celebrated our sweet girl’s baptism over the weekend! She wore a gown handmade by her GG and was baptized in the church we were married in. Feeling so grateful for our faith and our families.
Party Prep & Photo Plans
We celebrated Nora’s baptism over the weekend with our families. It was intimate and beautiful – a lovely celebration welcoming her into the Church! We had the sweetest little get together after at our house, and it made me so very excited to start thinking about her first birthday! I can’t even believe it’s just […]
