Sophie On the Farm

March 28, 2019 |

Sophie On the Farm

Last weekend, it finally warmed up enough for us to spend some longer stretches of time outdoors! It felt amazing! The sun shone for most of Saturday, so we brought Sophie over to my in-laws' farm and she got to try out her new rain boots in the farm yard! As I watched her run around happily, it struck me that the last time the weather was this warm (last fall), she wasn't even walking much yet! So that fun afternoon spent exploring outside ushered in a whole new era for us: Sophie-girl now gets … [Read more...]

Summer Bucket List (+ a printable template for you!)

May 7, 2018 |

Summer Bucket List (+ a printable template for you!)

I just love this time of year, friends! Let's see if you resonate with this, too. I really like the sense of anticipation you get riiiight before summer officially hits. To be honest, sometimes I think I get just as much of a kick out of the anticipation of summer adventures as summer itself! Isn't that funny? Do you get filled with this sense of anticipation as the weather warms, too? It's almost like the feeling you'd get as a kid in the springtime, knowing that school would be out soon and … [Read more...]

A Collection of “It’s Still Winter” Memes

A Collection of “It’s Still Winter” Memes

It's still (stillll) winter here in Minnesota, which is crazy! Yes, I've had snow days off from school in April before (and perhaps even May?!) but for some reason, this winter has seemed especially long. I think that's partly due to the fact that I'm not teaching full-time this school year and I'm home with my daughter instead. So, it's been a whole new routine to get used to, and with these quieter days at home, it has felt like this winter is dragging on and on! Sophie was born in October … [Read more...]

Small Town Life Q+A Video

March 16, 2018 |

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...]

Soybeans at Sunset (+ a promo code!)

Soybeans at Sunset (+ a promo code!)

These long summer days here in southern Minnesota are absolutely gorgeous...and the sunsets are equally stunning! Nowhere else have I seen this much golden light at magic hour, with such a beautiful expansive horizon! It's safe to say that the horizons and the light are one of my very favorite things about living here. The other night, on one of the longest days of the year, Bjorn and I hopped in our truck and rumbled down dirt road after dirt road until we got to our own soybean field. … [Read more...]

May Recap

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!

May 30, 2017 |

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...]

The Biggest Vacuum You’ve Ever Seen

April 19, 2017 |

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...]
