wedding anniversary in säby
Two weeks ago, Conrad and I celebrated our three-year wedding anniversary with a little staycation at a charming hotel in the Stockholm archipelago. Though we are usually quite low-key about our anniversary, this year we felt like doing something a bit more special. Thankfully, I remembered that I had a gift card from my office […]

palma de mallorca, spain
Well hello, little old but-not-forgotten blog! How are you doing? Last week I spent four days visiting my little sister, Margot, in Mallorca before she began another course for her Master’s program in Education, which offers courses abroad during the summer. With almost an entire office on holiday, it seemed the perfect chance to escape […]

hello, i live here now
If you had told me, one year ago, that at this time next year I’d be waking up in the Swedish countryside to this view, I’d have laughed in your face. Yet, here I am. As with almost everything in my life, this situation is only temporary (we are going to try to eventually buy […]

life in sweden
Well, hello! It’s me! God, I am a terrible blogger. As soon as life gets in the way, ZAP! The blog just goes right to the bottom of the to-do list. Eh, oh well. I always come back, don’t I?? Anyway, as you probably put gathered from the lack of activity here, life has been INSANE. […]

my best travel tips
I consider myself to be pretty well-traveled, but when I think of a pro, I immediately picture my mom. She’s been traveling the world since she was five years old, and has not stopped since. I think we once tried to count how many countries she’d been to, and the number tallied way over 100. […]

france, part iii: la fête
The evening of the party, we had a slight change in weather. Instead of the brilliant sun we’d had the whole week, the sky was suddenly flooded with big, dark clouds and a cool fog covered the mountains. Luckily, my dad had sprung for a cabin big enough to hold us all, just in case […]

france, part ii: exploring
Hello and happy Tuesday! I’ve got a lot to share with you today☺ On the day before the party, we had a few hours to kill before guests started pouring in. A group of us decided to load up the car and drive around the valley for a little sight-seeing. There’s a lot of pictures, so […]
