Marriage is a funny, eye-opening thing. Bjorn and I have been married for over 4 years, and by now, there's no doubt that we know each other's nuances! While we were best friends and well-acquainted even before we began dating, I'm convinced that after the wedding is when you really get to know even more little things that make the other person tick! Have you found that, too, whether with college roommates or a spouse? :) Sometimes it takes living with someone to truly realize all the things … [Read more...]
April Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in May
I'd say spring is officially here! Here's what we've been up to this past month, plus a peek ahead at May. April Recap: The month of April wasn't as busy as our month of March was! (See our March recap for proof of that!) But I'm okay with seasons of busyness intermixed with seasons of calmer times. So much of life works that way, you know? And things will pick up again in busyness for us in May, but the month of April has been a nice in-between season. :) ^^ Sophie at her 6 month … [Read more...]
Friendship in Marriage (After Having a Baby)
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...]

If you follow me on Instagram or if you read my … [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...]
Small Town Life Q+A Video
Today's post is totally different from anything I've posted before!! And I'm really excited about it. :) In my reader surveys, there have always been a lot of questions about our small town life and what it's like living in a rural community. While I do mention some things about our life here on the blog, my emphasis hasn't really been on small town life. More recently, I finally realized that many of you were still showing interest in this topic, so I asked you what other questions you had … [Read more...]
4 Stress Relief Strategies From My Husband (+ a $500 PayPal Cash giveaway!)
Even typing the title for this post had me smiling! It was definitely crucial for me to include the fact that these stress relief tips come from my wonderful husband, because I am not particularly qualified to offer stress relief advice at this point! Perhaps someday. ;) My husband Bjorn is such a "steady Eddy," something I am consistently noticing and am grateful for! To have someone like him in my life has been an incredible blessing. Bjorn doesn't stress the way that many people so often … [Read more...]
