This season of life we're in is such a fleeting one! Our little Sophie-girl will be turning one in a matter of days (so bittersweet!). I'm always a fan of snagging photos whenever we can. Even though they take effort and patience, they're always worth it. I'm convinced that they become even more precious to us over time. Bjorn and I have gotten more and more into taking our own family photos over the past several years. I think it has coincided with our photography skills improving over time, … [Read more...]
July Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in August
It's time for another monthly update! Here's a peek at our past four weeks (plus a peek ahead at the month of August)! I honestly considered not doing a recap this month, since it feels like I just did our June recap!! July passed so quickly and a lot of it got mentioned in Sophie's 9 month update. But, I do love journaling about our life this way and I don't want to let the month slide by without acknowledgement. :) So, without further adieu, here's what we've been up to! July Recap: 90th … [Read more...]
June Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in July
It's time for another monthly update! Here's a peek at our past four weeks (plus a peek ahead at the month of July)! June Recap: We celebrated Signe's graduation! Bjorn's sister Signe graduated from college (a whole year early!) at the start of June. Her graduation ceremony was in Las Vegas, and we had been planning on going, but with how things were going with planting season this year, we ended up needing to be at home. However, we were able to watch her walk live online! We hooked it up … [Read more...]
May Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in June
These past 4 weeks have flown by! Here's a recap of the month of May, plus a peek ahead at June! May Recap: Planting season is in full swing! Basically, scheduling anything on the calendar in May or June is usually hard for a farming family, haha. Because you never know when the weather will be good and you'll have to be in the field!! By the time this blog post goes live, we'll have a good amount of our soybeans planted. I heard on the radio the other day that Minnesota's soybeans are about … [Read more...]
Matching Socks: A True Love Story
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...]
March Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in April
It's so great to finally be entering the spring months! ...Even if there is still snow on the ground around here. :) Here's what the last month has looked like! March Recap: March was a full month with a lot of fun events! I didn't even realize this until I looked back on the month in my planner and saw just how much we were able to pack into the past 4 weeks! 1 // I got my blood work results back - and some possible solutions. If you follow me on Instagram or if you read my … [Read more...]
