Purchase Contract Signed!
Wohoo!!! So early on Friday morning I posted my list of house hunting frustrations. By Friday afternoon I was actually well on the way to having signed and confirmed a contract on the house (above) which we viewed last Sunday. I couldn't mention it in the comments because I still had to talk ...
What a lovely giveaway.
My favourite English cake to make is Victoria Sponge Cake
My favourite Swedish cakes to make has to be Kanel Bullar. Back in the summer my Swedish neighbour came to my house and did a baking day with me teaching me how to make Kanel Bullar the old fashioned way and Kola Kakor lovely carmael biscuits that my boys devoured.

Hembakat är Bäst Give Away
What you see above is the book that “everybody” is talking about these days. The buzz is about IKEA’s baking book “Hembakat är bäst” (“Home baked is best”) and the way the recipes are depicted with the ingredients all nicely lined up. I received a copy in the mail and the another one at t...

Allt i Hemmet
Over a year and a half ago Swedish interiors magazine Allt i Hemmet came and did a story on our house. Now it’s on local newsstands. A LOT has changed since then. Such as the closet doors, the bedroom wall, the craft corner, the length AND color of my hair and my marital status. I...

The End
Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the blog. It is the end of Martin and I though. We have made the mutual decision to separate. After almost 20 years of marriage (October 5th) we just aren’t on the same page any more. As sad as this is I’d like to point out that we are still really good friend...
Brilliant!

We finally taste the first of our tomato crop. We each got a tiny one. The verdict.; It tastes like tomato. Nothing extra ordinary but still kind of neat because it’s home grown. A man on a mission. As soon as I’m outside Bonus starts bugging me and wants to be petted and combed. We have a...
