We're all used to seeing churches. We whiz by them every day on the highway, we see them nestled amongst homes on a cozy neighborhood street… Some of them catch our attention with impressive arches and steeples, while others sit snugly in a business park or a quiet country field. Churches are always nearby, dotting the fabric of every town. There's a church across the street from where I work. It's a beautiful, older building covered in a mantle of dark red brick. When the sun hits it just … [Read more...]
Avocado open-faced sandwich.
Some days, sandwiches and leftovers get old and all you need is a quick, healthy lunch idea! In the market for something different and fresh? Try this avocado open-faced sandwich! I saw a picture of this idea as I was scrolling through my Pinterest feed the other day and decided to give it a try. All you need to do is toast 2 slices of bread (it really is best if you toast it), cut (and smash? is that an acceptable foodie term?) an avocado so you can spread it on the bread. Spread hummus … [Read more...]
Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery
My husband and I became fans of visiting wineries (and cideries) while we lived in Virginia last summer…so this past weekend we were thrilled to find a lovely winery near us here in Minnesota! Chankaska Creek Ranch and Winery is located near St. Peter, MN, and is just minutes from Hwy 169, for you local folks! :) I first heard of the Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery on a highway billboard, actually! Bjorn and I found ourselves with a couple extra hours in the area, and the weather was … [Read more...]

Leaf collecting.
When we were little, Mom used to take us kids outside to make "nature bracelets." We'd each get a loop of masking tape on our wrist, with the sticky side out - the perfect blank canvas for us to decorate with whatever little grass pieces or leaves we thought were especially pretty. It was such a fun little activity! I'd love to continue it with my own little ones someday…it really filled us with wonder and appreciation for what God made…even if we were collecting random tiny twigs, dead … [Read more...]
Tractor dates.
He calls it working for his dad; I call it a tractor date. ;) Happy Thursday! It's EM (Education Minnesota) break here, so we are filling our day off with a bit of farming. (Okay, Bjorn is working, and I come along for the ride and the company!) I can't think of a much better way to spend a morning than to ride in the tractor with my husband. Seriously. I rode with Bjorn as he chisel plowed and as simple and maybe unromantic as it might sound, it was a sweet, special time. Why? If you asked … [Read more...]
