Hard to believe it's December, even though we're already about halfway through! This update post is obviously different from past update posts - first of all, because it's so late! :) I'll get into that more soon. I love how recap posts function as a sort of journal about our everyday life, or different seasons, so even though this one is late, it's still going up. ;) And...it's going to be more of a wordy post than others! November Recap: November was a more difficult month. Some months, … [Read more...]
October Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in November
Can you believe October's over already?? That month sure flew by!

September Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in October
I'm a bit behind with blogging lately (or at least it feels like it!) so I'm going to keep today's post a bit shorter! ^^ My little errands buddy! ^^ September Recap: We enjoyed a more low-key Labor Day with friends and family. We had actually planned on some intensive work on a building in our town, but that ended up not working out. But, we still got to host my brother Tyler and our friend Steve at our place for Labor Day weekend, which was a lot of fun! We even had family over, … [Read more...]
August Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in September
It's hard to believe it's September already! Here's what life looked like this past month...plus what we're looking forward to! August Recap: Bjorn was gone for army. Basically for all of August, or at least it felt that way! Bjorn was gone for 3 weeks for a more intensive annual training this year. Although I'm used to my husband being busy with his multiple jobs and commitments here at home, I'm still used to him coming home every night! It's a whole other thing to have him gone for 3 … [Read more...]

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!

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...]
