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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
Trusting God When Plan A Doesn’t Happen
The Inner Drive To Plan I am a planner. (And that's an understatement, haha.) I've been that way my whole life. I LOVED the day we first got our planners in 3rd grade. It was like a dream come true. You mean I could fill this thing out, look ahead at what's coming, and see what all needs to get done?! I was thrilled! I learned that I had the ability to essentially map out my life! Anyone else like that? :) I'm the type of planning personality that can drive a more low-key personality … [Read more...]
