Friday Favorites! Johnson visit+ Lucy/Olive Birthday

This week was a fun one. We hung out with the Johnson’s, survived our fridge going out and celebrated Lucy and Olives birthday. What a whirlwind!

1// Kate and I have always made a point to see each other as often as time allows and with each child we’ve added to the bunch it seems to get harder and harder. Some of my favorite, favorite memories were when we both were new moms and we’d visit each other with our babies for weeks at a time. It was SO special. Now there’s 6 kids between us and the kids are destined to be friends— if we have to force it, we will!!
We had a blast with the whole crew. It was not quiet, but it was fun!
2// Lucy and Olive’s LEGO friends birthday party was a hit! There were LEGOfriends galore, and I have the greatest time when we're all together. The time always flies and ends with tired kids buckling into seatbelts and asking when "we'll see Amos and Olive again".

3// Olle and Sigge bring a lot of joy into my life. Olle was gifted some costumes this week, and has been having fun trying them on and doing a lot of moves in them. He has been so sweet lately. Lots of hugs and kisses and snuggles and smiles. He's one of a kind and we love him so much!
And I can't get over this little hat on Sigge-boy!! He can turn any day around for me with his flappy arms, snorts, giggles and smiles.


I cannot believe the weekend is here. Tomorrow I am pacing a 1/2 marathon in the cities, then I board a plan for Cali and go visit Emily for her Birthday! I've been looking forward to this so much. Can't wait to explore Sonoma and cheers to the Birthday girl :)

xx, edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...
