Spent the last 30 minutes watching videos of you with our girls. They adore you. Happy Father’s Day, Jeff. We love you so much.

Grilled balsamic chicken + caprese! 🤤.
.
Who else loves fresh tomatoes in the summertime?! Don’t forget about caprese. This is Hayes’ absolute favorite. She eats as much caprese as Jeff and I and normally finishes what’s on Nellie’s plate.
.
The key ingredient for this dish is balsamic glaze. Swipe to see what I used. This one is from TJs but you can find it at most grocery stores — Aldi normally has it as a special in the summer!
.
Marinate chicken with EVOO, salt, pepper, and balsamic glaze. Did I measure? No. Just go for it.
.
Grill chicken.
.
Layer sliced mozzarella ball and sliced tomato.
.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and finish off with some sea salt.
.
Dinner is served!!
.
You could easily pair it with quinoa/rice or a toasted baguette if you want to add a carb.

F O U R !
.
Four years ago at 12:51am little miss Hayes Hill Nordquist entered the world and changed our lives forever. She’s grown into a curious, sassy little girl that loves princess everything and is happiest wearing a pink dress. She can be incredibly shy, but when she’s comfortable she likes to be the boss. She has her daddy’s eyes and cardio, and her mama’s curls and boney booty. She LOVES to color, reads “teacher style” to us at night, and has an impressive memory.
.
At times I want time to speed up so I can see what you do to make the world a better place, but I also want you to stay young forever 😭
.
Hayes, Hayesy, Hayesy Girl, Sissy, Hay Hay, Chicken Nugget — we love you so much! Keep being you.

Tonight the nighttime routine was smooth. With thr

Tonight the nighttime routine was smooth. With three girls under 4 that doesn’t happen often. And I found myself immediately attributing the success of the Olympic sport that is bedtime to the circumstances, and brushing it off like a fluke.
.
It hit me that I rarely brush it off like a fluke when bedtime is rough. I blame myself when there are tantrums and tears and little patience. I replay the night and think of what I could have done differently to avoid the mess. Some nights I even cry because I feel so defeated. But I rarely extend myself Grace and brush it off like a fluke when the night is rough.
.
The truth is, we don’t have as much control as we might imagine over our toddlers at bedtime. Some nights are smooth and some rough. It doesn’t make us a bad mom, it just makes us a mom.
.
I’m writing this post so the next time bedtime is rough I can pull it up and remind myself to stop, breathe, and move on. I’ve done my best and tomorrow I have the privilege of trying again. I hope you save it and do the same ♥️.

I can confirm the tiktok arugula + sauerkraut salad makes a mean base for your leftover brats. (Check out my earlier reel on the salad if you don’t know what I’m talking about).
.
Today I didn’t have arugula and it was equally tasty with the power greens mix from Costco.
.
Arugula (or other greens)
Sauerkraut
EVOO
Salt + pepper
Brat, heated up and sliced (mine was leftover from the weekend)
Drizzle of yellow mustard
.
Boom, lunch!
