Reader Survey Results (+ the giveaway winner!)
As you probably know (since many of you filled it out!), a couple weeks ago I asked Just Bee's readers to fill out a little blog survey. And like I said in this post, I really get so excited about these! A survey is such a specific, useful way for me to find out what you enjoy on Just Bee and how I can improve the blog. I've never done this before, but I thought it'd be interesting to actually share the results with you all! (The survey questions were a bit more specific than I'll share … [Read more...]
A (Belated) Week 17-18 Bumpdate
I'm a bit frustrated with myself! I totally meant to (and wanted to) have fun pregnancy updates that pop up every week or two on the blog like clockwork. But, friends, real life doesn't work that way. :) Things like morning sickness, travel, weddings, family events, housekeeping, teaching (not to mention wrapping up the school year), and teacher workshops get in the way. And they take precedence because they are in real-time and our relationships with the people in our lives are important … [Read more...]
Baby Olson is a…
Sunday was one of the most fun days of our life! Bjorn and I filled our home with 17 family members and a lot of pink and blue food and decorations! :) Then Bjorn and I popped a big balloon filled with confetti and found out if Baby Olson is a boy or a girl...!! And we are having a.... GIRL!!! We are ABSOLUTELY thrilled!!! We are so excited and can't wait to meet this sweet little soul!! She is already so very loved, and we are so grateful for this precious gift from God! … [Read more...]
June // What I’m Looking Forward To
Can you believe it's JUNE already?? June! I feel like summer is just minutes away! You can catch up on my personal posts from April here and here and my personal posts from May here and here. Today I'm sharing what I'm looking forward to this month. What I'm Looking Forward To In June: 1 // Summer starting! I love teaching but I also love summer. :) Summer break will be starting soon and it will be a nice chance to relax and focus on important non-school things (like Baby!). 2 // Our … [Read more...]
May Recap
I'm trying to stay consistent with these "new" personal life updates! I've been thinking a bit about them lately, and I think it's funny that it took me so long to launch into doing posts like these! :) I always thought that doing life updates posts would be rather boring for my blog readers (which is kind of ironic anyway, since blogging is often like one big life update medium!)...and yet I always love reading personal life updates from other bloggers! So, that's the long way to say I'm glad … [Read more...]
Our Very Full But Very Joyful Memorial Day Weekend!
This past weekend absolutely flew by! Memorial Day weekends always seem to be quite busy for us every year...whether it's a wedding weekend or a graduation. It's just a really popular weekend! This year, we had both a wedding and a graduation we got to attend! (Plus an important ultrasound, plus planting our field!) Bjorn's sister Aeli graduated from Bethel University (in St. Paul) AND his cousin Katie got married! It all happened on the same day - but we managed to get to a good amount of … [Read more...]
Reader Survey (with a Starbucks gift card giveaway!)
Well, friends, it's time for another Just Bee Reader Survey!! I seriously get so excited about these. :) I do them about twice a year, although maybe I'll increase the frequency in the future. It is just so wonderful to receive comments and suggestions from you lovely people! Reader surveys like these truly help me to guide the direction of the blog. Just Bee wouldn't be where it is right now without you and your feedback! After all, besides being a journal-type medium for me to record … [Read more...]
