Greetings! Join us for the magic of summer cottage living in Sweden. We celebrated an early Swedish Midsummer at a charming lakeside cottage where we made wildflower crowns and tried some old Midsommar traditions. We felt so grounded after spending time in the countryside recharging in nature, it was truly a Midsummer Night's Dream. How do you find peace in your daily life? Best Wishes,
-Lindsay & Jonas💛

My birthday is March 21st...I was concieved on Midsummer's Eve...I have always appreciated my divine conception...thank you, God...

[@veronicashipley9123]

Hello from the UK on the eve of the Summer Solstice and a full moon. This was beautiful and the music was so moving, that I cried 😢. I have just been in my garden and picked a posy of flowers and then lit a candle for my beloved husband Terry. I lost him after a short illness back in December, he was my love, my life and my soul mate for 54 years, and I miss him so much (we were babies when we wed). Thankfully I have my fur babies, my Kits 🐈🐱that are giving me a reason to get up in the mornings. Your love for each other shines through. Sending love, light and Solstice Blessings to you both 🐝🌹🐞🌻 Take care of each other, always ☺ xx

[@leslieweber5177]

I am sorry for your loss. 🙏

[@itsacharminglife]

So sorry for your loss. He seems as such a kind and gentle person.

[@veronicashipley9123]

Jonas is such an attentive husband...Lindsay is such a lovely bride...together they are such a romantic couple...may God bless them both...

[@itsacharminglife]

Thank you kindly for saying that!

[@jasonmullins6638]

Lovely. I had to laugh because when Jonas splashed Lindsay, then Lindsay returned the favor....I pictured Jonas "tackling" Lindsay and jumping into the lake. "Well that got out of hand!" 😅😅😂 This was a very well-made, relaxing & creative video. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@itsacharminglife]

Thanks Jason! Hope you have a great summer! :) And well, I was acctually thinking to jump in the water, but it was cold and I had stuff in my pockets. lol Be well! And thanks again for your great support of our videos! / Jonas

[@lynnkibbe2929]

Such a beautiful video. Lindsay I had a similar experience as you. My family and I traveled to the scotish highlands many years ago. It was the trip of a lifetime. When we were finally settled in our cozy cottage I took a walk down to the loch. I felt overwhelmed and started to cry. It was such an extraordinary experience. I felt like I had been there before in another life. Can't explain it but I will never forget it.

[@itsacharminglife]

That is wonderful to hear! I guess that is not the sad kind of tears, but tears that say we are on the right place there and then. Scottish highlands must have been so beautiful! :) Thank you for your support of our video!

[@MikeAnderson-jd2rw]

Aww. You guys. ❤❤ I think this was one of the best videos you’ve ever made! So enchanting and filmed absolutely beautifully. Of course, I love the Fall/Halloween most of all. But this was really charming. All it was missing was a towel flick 😊

My husband and mine favorite flowers are the Buttercups. The Norman Rockwell painting with the boy and girl holding buttercups is my favorite. Beautiful video like always. Hugs praying for you both. When I feel anixiety I remember the verse "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".Philllipians 4:6,7 When I pray to the Lord he helps me and I realize my life is in His hands.. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Have a blessed weekend. 🏵🏵🏵🏵🐞🐞🐞

[@itsacharminglife]

Thank you! Buttercups is so special flowers. I, as a kid, thought they actually contained real butter. Anyhow, thank you for your prayers. We truly appreciate it. Thanks for the good verse as well. God's Blessings over you and your husband, and have a lovely rest of the summer!

Hi Lindsay & Jonas, Thank you for filming a beautiful and educational video. Loved it❤❤ I.have to smile when you chuckle when Jonas makes a joke or funny comment. So cute! It must be like heaven to have a love who is so laid back and loving. So beautiful to watch you two and sharing Jonas culture. Those who sweet rolls looked so so yummy 😋 😍 Phyllis from central PA.

[@danieladeutsch1708]

In my country build men the Maypole on the first of May in front of the house of the lady they want to marry. It is usually a pine tree, really high, but you leave only the green top of the tree and you decorate it with lots of colorful bows. In midsummer, we are making fires and jump over them, I mean the men. :)

[@itsacharminglife]

Thank you for sharing this! It sounds so much fun. Jumping over fires seems fun to me. :) / Jonas

[@TheMennomilist]

I so agree with you about being barefoot, Lindsay! I hope you both have a lovely happy Midsommer. Every time you talk about things from Sweden, I make sure I say, "happy ___Swedish holiday__" to one of my best friends who lives in Sweden. Half of the time she says, "Oh is that today?!" Haha. She also went to a lovely little cottage to enjoy the summertime there. I love making flower crowns and going into lakes. How truly lovely this all seemed to be. I enjoyed how you filmed this video a lot. Jonas, your hair color is wonderful (I have redheaded brothers and my hair only looks red in certain sunlight). I also have not seen the Midsommer film as I don't like horror unless it is like a Vincent Price film from long ago. My baby was enchanted by all the nighttime scenes in your video.

[@itsacharminglife]

Thank you for your lovely comment! :) Barefoot is the best! Hope you had a happy 4th of july and Midsummer! :) Are you able to make any flower crowns yourself this summer?

[@TheMennomilist]

@@itsacharminglife I need to find a place with wildflowers and such. . or I could buy some flowers. I probably won't make a crown this year, but I do love them.

[@janjentz1053]

Thank you for sharing your midsummer in Sweden. We have had the pleasure of celebrating it in Kalmar and Oland with our Son, Daughter in law, Grandchildren and a lot of family and friends. The setting for your video was a beautiful spot; I love the red summer cottages.

This was simply beautiful and a joy to watch and get lost in the magic of this time. I live in TX and to be honest I'm not a fan of summer. Your video caused me to take a break and remember there is a reason for each season..even summer lol. As I sit in my home...I hear sounds that are unique to my summer...sounds that bring back memories while knowing that today..in this moment is important and it makes memories that my heart will feast from in the upcoming years.

. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (NIV) Phil 3;13 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Mathew 6 ;25 John 3;16....
