Wayfare magazine recently interviewed us about adventure, parenting, and why we made the move to Burundi. The people over at the brand spankin’ new Wayfare magazine are incredible. When they decided to include us in their first issue, and when I saw it for the first time, I did a full on singing and clapping happy dance. That’s…

Wayfare is waaaaaayyyy amazing, i’m hooked! Your wholeheartedness shines in this article. Love it (all).
I hate to admit it… (because it might be just a little bit cheesy) but I saw myself in these pitiful jute coffee sacks. What is it about life here… that keeps me so totally raw all of the time? As if THAT NEEDLE is passing through me EVERY DAY. Do you know what the…
My daughter has just been on an overland through Africa trip for 8 months and she passed through Burundi. She was very interested in all the coffee plantations throughout East Africa as I have a coffee roasting business and buy all my coffee from East Africa. She sent me the link to your web site and suggested that I might enjoy it. What a treat! I have loved looking through everything and salute your spirit of adventure. As a Christian, I can relate to The Carlsom Mantra 100%. Keep up the fantastic work!
I LOVE being in the coffee hills. They are THE PEOPLE we moved here for. Being up there with them always reminds me of the reasons we gave up that other life, changed course, and set up camp in Burundi. Wedding photographers talk about “detail shots” a lot. What the flowers, the decor, and the…

I recently joined the Instagram world… like a week ago If you would like to follow me so that you see photos regularly… follow me here. Happy weekend!!!! Hope you have a great one! Things in our household are looking up, sorry for the dismal posts this week. Thanks for weathering it all with us….
i was curious how you get the photos like that, all nice and ‘old’ looking.
i went to picnik and did some but did not know how to achieve that effect.
I was looking at these pictures with my perceptive 2 year old, and at the very bottom left picture, he said, “he sad. He worried about his mommy.” Direct quote, honest!

Maggie haze - I always love the sweet smiles on everyone’s faces. I can’t help but think of the number of Americans going through their daily lives with a complete frown not recognizing everything we have in our lives. Here are people with very little smiling and laughing and praising god. Wonderful. Thanks Kristy!
