In her blog, Jonna shares many thoughts on married life with David and on parenting. However, this isn’t your typical mommy blog.
Jonna shares it all with hilarious self-deprecating humor and sarcasm. Her stories will have you falling off your seat. Plus, how many blog writers out there have an Amish husband? That definitely switches things up a bit.
David's Amish community, a hardline Swiss-German religious sect, favors plain living and rejects modern technology.
While the couple grew up starkly different, they make it work. Jonna shares "Sure, we have different backgrounds but they say opposites attract and in our case, this couldn’t be truer. He’s calm, I’m a psycho. He knows how to drive a buggy, they let me drive a pony cart once and I almost crashed into a tree. He asks me how to get on Google, I get on the internet and run my mouth every day. I love my in-laws, I love my husband and dammit I may not be Amish but I’ve had it in me."
His wife shared on her blog that David has become “well adjusted to his new ‘English’ lifestyle.” Despite the strides he made to adopting a new kind of lifestyle, Jonna was entertained enough by the Amish quirks that David has been unable to rid himself of and used this as inspiration to write a blog post about these habits. She titled the blog “You can take a Man out of the Amish but…”
She shares that before meeting David, she didn't know much about the Amish: "All I really knew about them was that they made doughnuts that would slap your taste buds with a happiness you’ve never experienced before."
Jonna is a housewife and a stay-at-home mom. Despite caring for their daughter and the home, she finds the time to maintain her blog and online presence.
Actually, it seems like her set-up is the perfect one for a blogger. She gets to spend time with her daughter while working.
David works at an RV dealership nearby and has long hours. Jonna accepts that her husband works late and says that he often comes home even later than he had planned.
Jonna has shared that this leaves her feeling rather lonely and at a loss of what to do with herself and about the situation. A feeling that many stay at home moms can relate to. Marriage isn't always what it's cracked up to be, people don't ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after.
