Meet One of the Owlettes

First day of summer camp today. This little lady has been excited for this day for months! She is now officially an Owlette in room 5. Let the fun begin! 

Lucky Number Thirteen

It feels like yesterday that we got married, but today is it thirteen years since we walked down the aisle that sunny day in Sweden. Toasting tonight to the most handsome, caring, funny, smart, confident and humble guy I have ever met; and to our beautiful, happy little kids. You are all my rocks that keeps a little bit of sanity in this crazy world. 

Love you to the moon and back again.

Happy Birthday Campbellina

Where did time go? This little peanut is already four years old this week. It feels like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. She is already a big girl, and after the summer, she will start nursery school full time.

Celebrated with our traditional breakfast and presents in bed, mini cupcakes and a special cupcake push pop for the birthday girl. And she got her ears pierced—just like when my dad brought me for my ear piercings as a surprise for my fourth birthday! (Best birthday memory ever—not so sure how happy my mom was about it…) She was so excited about it and didn't shed a tear…even if it hurt a little. My brave girl!

Sunshiny Days

I can't believe it's actually been over a month and a half ago since I last posted something. Having two kids keeps me busy 24/7 and there has been little time for the blog—that's not to say that I haven't curated tons of photos to share (when I get a moment.)

It was mother's day today and I got spoiled by my three my favorite people. Fresh croissants and coffee for breakfast, a massage, playtime with the kiddos, and a fantastic italian dinner with my favorite girl. What more can you ask for?! These two wonderful little beings completes me. Brings brightness and joy to the greyest days. Being a mom is the most amazing thing you could ever wish for.

Mornings with Brody

Cami watching cartoons, hubby sleeping. Perfect time for some quality time with my little boy.

The Laughing Heart

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

Lost and Found

We restarted our effort to purge some of our belongings from the attic this past weekend, and I came across this gem—my grandma's 70s avocado green tea kettle from Sweden. I'm definitely making room for this one on my stove.
