The Natural Life for Better Homes and Gardens

After spending a couple of beautiful days with Johnna and Max and their two lovely daughters, I am ready to move to the forest! It was really inspiring to see how they are so in touch with their surroundings and use what they find to cook, make art and learn from.

Every anniversary year we ask each other how we can improve as a husband or wife and partner doing life together. Some years the answer comes quickly with eyes sparkling and bodies embraced and we each say, nothing— you’re wonderful and perfect and everything’s been syncing flawlessly. Other years we kinda pause and look at each other, like, hmm... where to start. We knew we didn’t marry each other without continually altering the ways in which we would interact or care for another, it’s a life long stretch of growth and humble sacrifice to each other. It takes beautiful work to believe in each other and conscious effort to genuinely want the best for one another in a fast paced world. We sync when we seek to uplift the other, believe in their intentions, recognize the need for self awareness and growth, and practice unconditional love for one another. He’s known me for 18 years and I don’t feel like he has ever tried to “change” me and that is one of the incredible qualities I cling to about him. But I almost didn’t want to ask this year because I felt like I’d be embarrassed of the amount of answers. I hope to always have the ability and desire to change myself. Not walking around like I know it all, but to look inside and seek ways to grow. To hear it from him with a humble heart and take his good intentioned words and simmer into them through the next year. Amongst other things, this year he tells me that I need to take better care of myself, not take on too many things, and find better ways to process through stress or anxieties or worries. It’s like the exact moment he describes an area of growth, I already know what he’s going to say and I instantly want to improve those areas so much. Have you done this with your partner or most trusted friend? Would you? It’s sort of scary and tender and vulnerable and amazing. It would be really fun to talk about how that experience felt or brought you closer. I’m here listening if you’d want to share about it anytime. Cheers to buying a wedding dress two months before our wedding and all the casualness that is this photo, lilypads and all. 🥂 #FoxMeetsBear

Hey! Are you on Periscope? It was my first time and I was definitely awkward and had the sleepy post nap eyes, but I gave a little tour of the outdoor labor and birthing area and our plan B for home birth. Go find and follow me at Fox Meets Bear! 🌿 Going to try to share more live adventures, even though the awkward factor in myself is reeal strong. #homebirth #periscope #foxmeetsbear #hi

The first blog post is up on @minnetonkamocc's blog! It was so much fun to create a woodland floral installation with some of my favorite things. Copper wire, foraged sticks, and the prettiest blooms. Head over to see the full project. 🌿 The link is in my profile today. #myminnetonka #FoxMeetsBear
