Under this category, we have gathered posts about all the good things in life. Food, books, living abroad, and general musings about nothing and everything. It’s simply la dolce vita!
It’s time to take a look at the reading list for November. All in all, it was a hectic month, but I’m happy to say that I found some time for reading. I have also had time to think about a new reading challenge for next year. Stay tuned to read more about that challenge….
100 years ago, Finland declared its independence from Russia. Today the Centenarian celebrates its birthday and we will all hope that this one will not decide to step out the window and disappear. In my opinion, it’s a good moment to reflect on what it really means to be Finnish. I am a Finn abroad, but…
Now that November is here, it’s time to look at the reading list from August to October. We have been so busy this fall, so I haven’t really had time to read. Well, traveling is fun too, so I’m not complaining. As you might remember, I embarked upon a journey at the beginning of this…
It’s that time of the year from which there is no escape – fall in Sweden! This is a season that leaves me with such mixed feelings. On the one hand, it’s incredibly beautiful with all the changing colors and the crisp air, but on the other, it’s just so dark. Yesterday we woke up…
If you visit a Swedish family for a weekend, don’t be surprised if they give you tacos for dinner. Don’t mistake it for the Mexican dish with the same name. There are of course several similarities between the Mexican and Swedish versions, but someone from Mexico would probably not agree with the way we are…
Today is not an ordinary day. No, it’s the Swedish Cinnamon Roll Day. Or maybe you know it as the cinnamon bun. A dear child has many names. So, 4 October is the Swedish Cinnamon Roll Day. This day has been celebrated since 1989 and the aim is to commemorate the most popular pastry in Sweden….
Veckans bloggtema på sevendays är en Bucket List. Ganska kul ändå, tyckte jag, och bestämde mig för att svara på frågorna och ta tillfället i akt och pyssla lite i min bullet journal. Annars rullar livet på. Lilltösen fyller snart fem månader (!), jag njuter av min nya kaffemaskin och Kista är oerhört fint för promenader…
Hello! Today we’re sharing a great recipe for a hearty dessert or a sweet meal. The Åland Pancake is a culinary classic with its home on the Åland Islands. Almost all restaurants and cafés there serve this treat. I think that most tourists try the pancake during their visit. Locals make it at home and…
Hello, fellow travelers, we need your help! Now that we survived our grand European road trip, it’s time to look for new adventures. We are thinking a romantic trip here. You know, time alone and pampering ourselves, three-course dinners, why not a trip to the spa and beautiful surroundings. Preferably, it should be somewhere we haven’t…
Hello there! Home sweet home is the first thing that comes to mind right now, after three weeks and a half on the road. It was a fantastic holiday, though. I think that we learned a lot on the way. We also saw some truly fascinating places – from picturesque small German towns to some of the…
Soon, soon it’s time for us to hit the road and head for France and back. I’m really looking forward to our trip as I haven’t been abroad for ages! It’s especially exciting as it’s Little A’s first proper trip abroad. Now the question is how to prepare for three weeks away from home. I…
Hello August! You know what that means, don’t you? It’s time to summarize July 2017. It was a really nice month, in retrospective I’d say that we didn’t spend much time at home at all. I’ll remember July 2017 for the all great the family time and the sunny days My reading challenge is going really…
