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...]

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...]

Our 2018 Family Photos
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...]

No-Mess Autumn Tree Painting
I loved art projects as a kid. You could often find me downstairs early in the morning, poring through craft books and determining which project I'd attempt that day! :) Sometimes, I followed the directions step by step; other times, I made up my own craft! Even though I'm an adult now, I still really enjoy doing art projects with kids. I've made fun crafts with my nanny kids over the years, and I experienced a lot of art projects as an elementary school teacher, too! But what I've been … [Read more...]
