Bjorn's older sister, Amy, is getting married at the beginning of July! We are all so very excited for her and Tyler. They are a wonderful match and they have such fun together! The way they look at each other is magic, and I love to see the deep friendship they have in their relationship as well. :) Last week, when Amy and Tyler were in town, we got together for a little engagement shoot. We had stormy, rainy (and windy) weather on and off for most of the day, but when the skies cleared, we … [Read more...]
Why I Left Bluehost (+ who I went with instead)
Today's post is a long one! In it, I'm going to explain in-depth what my experience with Bluehost has been. I know that many bloggers love and use Bluehost, and this post is of course not meant to be a slight to these bloggers. However, I have decided to stop using Bluehost as my hosting company, and I wanted to lay out the reasons why I left. I am being as honest and non-inflammatory as possible in this post, in the hopes of giving you a true picture of my experience. If you're a blogger or … [Read more...]

April Recap
I started a new little series recently where I shared what I'm looking forward to in April. At the start of the month each month, I want to do a “What I’m Looking Forward To” post and at the end of each month, I want to do a “Recap” post. This is mostly because I feel I’ve really let personal life-update posts slide lately And I also want this blog to act as a personal journal or way to document what’s going on in life right now. April Recap: Can you believe April is over already? It's … [Read more...]
The Biggest Vacuum You’ve Ever Seen
We had some really nice weather a couple weekends ago - that mild, spring weather that reminds you winter can't have a grip on you forever! :) Bjorn wanted to get a good amount of our stored soybeans (from last fall's harvest) shipped out to a soybean oil plant, so he and his dad worked hard on getting those beans loaded and driven up to another town. I went with Bjorn after school one Friday to pick up a Vac-U-Vator we were renting for the weekend's work. Before then, I had had no idea … [Read more...]
7 Ways to Slow Down And Savor Your Current Season
I feel like a broken record saying this, but life just flies along at a crazy pace sometimes, doesn't it? And the speed of it all seems to be ever-increasing. In our society, it's as if we only have a couple seconds to focus on any given topic at a time! Even when I'm scrolling through Instagram or Facebook, if I refresh my feed, the current photo at the top is immediately gone and it's on to the supposed next-best thing... But this pace of life, although exciting, is draining with its … [Read more...]
