My husband Bjorn and I are best friends. And there's weight behind those words. This is my personal opinion, but I think that some people whisk their way into marriage without evaluating the question of, Can I truly do daily life with this person? It seems that so many people love "how he makes me feel" or how in love they feel - expressing how constantly exciting and dramatically uplifting it is for them to be in love! That's all wonderful, in a way...but I don't think we should overlook the … [Read more...]

A Collection of “It’s Still Winter” Memes
It's still (stillll) winter here in Minnesota, which is crazy! Yes, I've had snow days off from school in April before (and perhaps even May?!) but for some reason, this winter has seemed especially long. I think that's partly due to the fact that I'm not teaching full-time this school year and I'm home with my daughter instead. So, it's been a whole new routine to get used to, and with these quieter days at home, it has felt like this winter is dragging on and on! Sophie was born in October … [Read more...]
Our Favorite Handmade Wooden Toys (+ a discount for you!)
Even before I was pregnant with Sophie, I was pretty adamant that my home wouldn't be filled with mounds of electronic toys. While I have calmed down a bit in regards to that idea (for instance, Sophie has a play gym with an owl that plays songs)...something in me still remains such a fan of the more handmade category of toys. Thank you to Bannor Toys for these toys! (I partnered with Bannor Toys on Instagram, but because I'm so impressed, I also wanted to share about the company here on the … [Read more...]

If you follow me on Instagram or if you read my … [Read more...]
Thai Iced Tea
Bjorn and I have always loved Thai food - it's one of our favorite cuisines, whether we're cooking at home or going out to eat. I studied abroad in Cambodia and fell in love with curry even more so then, and I'm lucky to have a husband who enjoys it just as much as I do! :) At most Thai restaurants, there are a couple delicious drinks on the beverage menu: Thai Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. If you're unfamiliar with these beverages, they are basically creamy sweet versions of coffee or … [Read more...]
Happy Anniversary, Bjorn!!
Happy 4th anniversary to the best husband I ever could've asked for!! Photos in this post are all by Carissa Christine! As a teenager, I spent countless evenings on my knees, praying for "FH" (what I called my future husband) - praying that God would lead us to each other, and praying for our future marriage. I couldn't wait to meet him. I didn't know how, or where, but I knew it would be a beautiful, special relationship. I had my heart set on marrying my best friend, and I prayed for him … [Read more...]
Sophie’s First Easter Basket
Some links in this post are affiliate links. As always, I only share products with you that I truly like. Thanks for supporting Just Bee! I actually debated about whether or not to give Sophie an Easter basket this year (and any year), since I don't want the holiday to become materialistic to her as she grows up. I've had to think about how we'll approach this holiday with intention. Easter excitement shouldn't only center around things like candy and treats and egg hunts, even though those … [Read more...]
