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 […]

smått & gott
It’s March! Why did January seem to last for a year while Feb and March are flying by? Time is so strange. Maybe time is flying by because we’ve been doing a lot after a relatively quiet start to the year. First off, we moved! Our new place is on the outskirts of Uppsala, and […]

Don’t let this serene winter landscape fool you – things have been hectic and crazy AS PER USUAL*. So, what is new? Glad you asked: 1.

After our France/Italy/Switzerland extravaganza, we had planned a few quiet days in Stockholm with my dad and brother before heading back to Colorado. Unfortunately, […]

eight hours in helsinki
And the Scandinavian adventure continues! Every time we go to Sweden, I try to plan a mini-trip to see a little more of Europe and since my best friend, Nora, was in Helsinki for Christmas, I thought it would be fun to visit her in Finland for the day! We used the same boat company […]

a day in stockholm
As some of you know, we spent the last two weeks of December in Stockholm. My dad lives there, and it’s where our family always meets up on the holidays. On one (rare) sunny day, we decided to venture out into the cold and tour the city before the sun went down. Our plan was […]

It’s been awhile since there’s been a ‘lately’ post up here! Blame it on being busy, bad weather, laziness (most likely), bla bla bla…who really cares? Here’s a quick snapshot of what life has been like lately. {first signs of spring} {weekend baking = homemade lemon tart (recipe here)} {supporting the husband-to-be at this awesome […]
