If we write out our email address normally, it gets scraped by bots and we end up on spam lists that take over our inbox. We used to have our email in an easy copy-paste format on the website, and we would get hundreds of spam emails every day. So we write it in this annoying way - hello {at} lifeasastrawberry {dot} com - to minimize the amount of junk emails we get. We know it's a little more annoying for real people that way - sorry!
