Exploring the world and embracing our curiosity
Having a baby in the NICU is challenging. It certainly was for us - especially for those first time NICU parents who had no idea what to expect (that was us!). Whether you'll be in the NICU for 3 weeks or 3 months, it makes the journey easier when you're packed and prepared for your…
"What's the theme?" Honestly, I never know how to answer this - it usually just ends up being me rambling different descriptors: modern & natural, neutral with pops of color, Scandi-inspired, soft, fresh. It all started with the changing table dresser I picked up from Craigslist years ago (and painted navy) and the Crate &…
Yes+ When those words showed up on the digital early pregnancy test, after taking a couple of recently expired regular ones, I knew it was true. My first positive ever. "Alright then." Between my husband and I - we both can be emotional and non-emotional at the same time. What you would imagine would generate…
2020. What an interesting year. Certainly one that many of us will not forget. Majority of the year has been spent mostly at home for many people.

During our travels in Hordaland, we spent 3.5 days there, one of which we rented a car and headed out to the fjord…

Iceland, a Nordic island nation, with unique landscapes and gorgeous views. As part of our Norway adventure in late May, we decided to add on a little side excursion to Iceland, since it seemed it would be a layover anyways... and totally worth it. During our two days (and two days within the almost-Midnight Sun…
I've got to say, I was on my vacation when I was alerted my June Beauteque Monthly box was delivered to my door... and I was really looking forward to check it out once I got home. It was literally one of the first things I did when I walked through the door - aside…
