When I was little I said I wanted to be a blogger. I didn’t. I said I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to write the next Harry Potter. That didn’t happen though – well not yet anyway. But now the journey has started like this. Blogging. I think I prefer it! What better than to tell the story of my own life – as I’m living it! (more…)
Dilemma: we want some food from back home… but the fruits here are so good!
Solution: bring ’em together! wrap up the bestest most tasty fruits of Hawaii in your fresh-from-the-pan European crepe! Touch with a squirt of chocolate sunday syrup! Mmmmmm-MM! (more…)
Exactly one year ago I was fast asleep in my bed with a beautiful new golden engagement ring on my finger. It had gotten a bit late what with the celebrations and the hyper happiness. But it had finally happened! (more…)
We’re celebrating the anniversary of our engagement this weekend. I made this cute little cartoon to tell our story. It’s possible that I may have had more fun making this than you will watching it… Smile and wave! 😉
As a young married couple we spend quite a lot of time talking about future plans. A lot of things are unstable and we are not sure where the next 5 years of our marriage will take us. For this reason we both feel a need to set goals. But at the same time, and for the same reason, goal setting is proving a little hard, as we have little feeling of anything this early in our marriage.

Marriage is something most little girls (maybe even boys) give a great deal of thought to, growing up. Personally, as a little girl I imagined myself and my future husband when watching romantic Disney movies. I’d draw pictures and play house with my Barbie dolls seeing with my inner eye the pink pink PINK future I had ahead. When I became a teenager that fairytale picture for real became a pattern after which I measured boys around me, taking note to what kind of husband I was looking for. – The song “Gaston” from Beauty and the Beast just started playing on my Spotify playlist…. Coincidence? – With time I grew tired of measuring and eagerly looked forward to the day when I had found him and my life could finally settled down. When I then found the guy, and especially after he asked me to marry him, my mere excitement was coupled with insatiable impatience to finally be wed.
A popular question after the wedding has been “How’s being married?”. Well it so happens that I’ve been thinking about it a bit lately so I’ll sketch it out for you in this post. (more…)
It’s Saturday night and I’m craving my all-time favorite dessert — Devil’s Food Cake!
As I don’t have an oven and literally can’t make it I’ll just throw the recipe out there and hope that some able soul out there will take the opportunity to have an awesome cake experience.
And if not… excuse my blubbering… But here it is! (more…)
Lately I’ve had what feels like a wishy-washy period. I’ve been going to school alright, but as it’s online I’ve been getting out of bed kind of whatever time I wanted (kinda), taking a shower an hour before I HAD to leave the apartment and spent most of the day on the couch with the laptop and books. I felt like I needed to get some order into my newly acquired staying at home life.
This afternoon Marcus found this article titled ‘5 Things Super Successful People Do Before 8 AM’ in Forbes. You should read it before I continue! (more…)
