Hello from the Åland Islands. Little A and I are abroad again. How are you? Rain and thunder are the words that best describe today. As I love lists, I decided to write a short (but happy) list of life right now – a Monday evening. (I started writing this last night, now it’s Tuesday…
Today I want to talk about Google Earth and also share some tips with you. It’s a tool that I use a lot and it’s essential when we look back at and document our trips. If you travel a lot, it is probably nice to be able to view a map of all the places…
About ten weeks ago we became parents. I think most parents can relate to the fact that the change is immense, and our lives feel very different now. As I write this, Little A peacefully sleeps next to me and little does she know what we have in store for her. If it’s up to…
Hello, friends! Here I sit with a cup of cold coffee and it’s about time to write a short summary for June. It’s so strange. You’d think that there’d be more time over when you spend most of your day at home. Wrong! I go to bed the same time as before and wake up earlier….
Say hi to Eila! She’s my mother and she knows how to make an absolutely amazing creamy salmon soup. This delicacy is one of the cornerstones of Finnish cuisine and it’s something we usually serve our guests. Not only is the soup very tasty, but it’s also very easy to make. Additionally, this is the…

I think that being able to travel as much as we do add some decadence to our lives. Here’s a more precise definition of the word,…
It’s Tuesday and time to share some travel stories. Today I write about the time that I decided it’d be a good idea to move to Poland. As it turned out, that sudden impulse resulted in a lot of great memories and eventful trips in this fantastic country. I have touched upon the topic here…
We have been visiting my parents in Vagnhärad for the weekend. The weather has not been on the better side until this evening. So once little A was satisfied we joined my mother out to lake Sörsjön, which is quite close by. It was time for the family dog to enjoy some swiming. Trixie, a three…
It’s such a rainy Wednesday today here in Stockholm today. I’m quite happy that we have no plans for today, other than reading, writing, and tidying up ay the house. In other words, it’s also a great day for planning. However, I’m really hoping for good weather for the weekend. Call us lucky, but we…
Hello, friends! I can’t believe that May is almost over and June is already knocking on our door. This month I did not read quite as many books as I would have liked to. However, it was still the best month of my life as we welcomed our little A. Apart from that, we have…
