If you know my husband or me at all, then you know we love to read! We love books and we love to learn. One of our favorite things to do is peruse the aisles of Barnes & Noble together, and we find it really really hard to say no to adding a new book to our collection. ;) Bjorn has hundreds of books that he's collected over the years - needless to say, a beautiful home library will be a must in our future home! Even though she's just one, our daughter Sophie loves to read, too! Every … [Read more...]
Our 2018 Christmas Cards (+ a promo code for you!)
Can you believe it's that time of year already?! While I may not be a fan of the bitter wind and gray, snowy skies, I have to admit it - I'm excited for the holiday season. We already have our tree up because I wanted our daughter to get as much Christmas-y enjoyment out of the decor as possible! And we've already been dancing to our Christmas playlist this week as we make supper. :) After all, when the temperature is down in the 20s and teens here in Minnesota...I feel like the Christmas … [Read more...]

The B. Family of Four
It's always such an honor when I'm asked to snap photos of others' families! There is something so dear and special about family photography. It gives us moments frozen in time, which is so meaningful especially since little ones grow up so quickly! Every season truly is a special, unique, beautiful season. I'm touched that they trusted me behind the camera! :) (Again! You can see their session last year as a family of three, almost four, here! Watching families grow is so sweet, I could … [Read more...]
October Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in November
Can you believe October's over already?? That month sure flew by! I love sharing these recap posts because they allow me to journal and savor our day-to-day life a bit more...and, these posts give me the chance to look ahead! October Recap: October was Sophie's birthday month! The first week of the month was full of party planning (and tears over how quickly she's growing up!). :) We celebrated her October 16 birthday early because mid-October, especially, is a busy harvest season around … [Read more...]
A New Kind of Golden Hour
If you've been following my blog for a while, then you might remember all of the sunset photos I would post when I first moved here to rural, small-town Minnesota. This was over five years ago! I was in awe of the endless horizon, the sea of fields around me in every direction, the expanse of the sky above me. It honestly blew me away. I've always been quick to turn to thoughts of worship when it comes to natural beauty around me. It's just an inclination that many of us have. We look at the … [Read more...]
Best-Ever Wild Rice Soup
I've posted on Instagram a couple times about my favorite wild rice soup, and a lot of people asked for the recipe! I forgot about that until I did a poll a couple days ago on Instagram and got an overwhelming response that you'd still like the recipe that I never had shared, haha. :) I finally got my act together and I've typed it out here for you! The credit for this recipe goes to my mom. I can't remember where she got it, but this is how she and I have tweaked it over time! I have it in a … [Read more...]
Putting the House to Bed: My Evening Routine
I know, I know - to some people, this may not sound like the most exciting post! ;) But if you ARE anything like me, keep reading, friend, because you probably love hearing about others' home routines, too. Shall I start with a disclaimer? (I feel like moms shouldn't need one, since life with littles can have its share of curveballs, haha...but here goes.) This routine I'm sharing today is an ideal, quiet, predictable nightly routine. Some nights do not look like this. Some nights differ only … [Read more...]
