Eight Views of an Abandoned Dock

December 9, 2016 By Jodi

Abandoned dock with clouds and low sun

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I'm fairly obsessed with a certain abandoned dock not far from our home, which I encounter on my midday walks. The scene varies day to day, depending on the light, the clouds, the season, the surface of the sea.

What is it that brings us back to the same spot, again and again, with or without a camera? There are plenty of gorgeous spots to pause when I go walking, but this this is the part where I always pause and pull out my phone. I can think of other eras of my life when I've gone for regular walks to same place, and always paused at the same point to take in the view, take a few deep breaths, reach out my arms and stretch my chest.

Do you have a favorite spot, or a surprising spot, that you're drawn to?

Another great spot in my neighborhood, and another view from our place.

Why I Don't Tell My Kids to Smile For Pictures

August 1, 2016 By Jodi 8 Comments

Since my older son's birth, I've kept a blog for family and friends where I try to share a few photos of the kids every day. Like most parents these days, I've taken thousands of photos of my kids - at least. But there's one thing I do differently.

This is my first-ever attempt at a gift guide, and I'll be honest: it's pretty basic. There are a couple reasons for this: 1) you know your kid better than I do, so you probably know what s/he likes better than I do, so who am I to give advice?; and 2) listing a bunch of stuff...

A Morning at Denison Farms (Photos!)

Raspberry bushes at Denison Farms

It’s probably hard to believe that a couple weeks ago, I absconded one morning to a cafe for an hour of blog-planning and latte-sipping, no babies on board. I had more than a dozen ideas for posts I was excited to write—and then life happened, as it always does. Since that glorious hour of alone...

How Do You Do Kids' Birthday Parties?

October 4, 2016 By Jodi 8 Comments

We celebrated Leif's second birthday last week with a lovely, intimate party. One set of friends and the neighbors came, as well as one of the kids' former caregivers from dagis. We ate dinner together, then Leif opened a couple presents and the kids played while the adults talked. We sang happy birthday in English and Swedish before eating Leif's tractor-shaped ice...
