What would you have/do you have in yours that you love? :)

Last night was all about an exotic snack whilst watching a bunch of episodes of Hawaii Five-O. Every once in a while it's nice with an evening of doing just nothing of importance... :) And with a good tv-series it's not even hard...

as of yesterday

I've started baking my own bread again (yay). It's been a while due to lack of energy. I'm not sure I have all that much more energy now, but I'm sooo over store-bought that there's just nothing left to do. And I love it. Yesterday morning I got up early and made fresh bread for a (late) brekkie. This morning I made another batch. Crossing my fingers that I can keep it up! Last night we had strawberries with cream. That was just life-changing (as one of my friends would put it) so I had to throw in a picture :)

Now, it is definitely summer! Absolutely LOVE it! :) This weekend has been a "long weekend" here in Sweden due to two public holidays. From the feast of the ascension last Thursday until today, which is the Swedish National Day. I've made sure to enjoy these 5 gorgeous days off work. Friends, sun, swimming, bbq's, sleeping, movies, shopping... well all things good, except blogging... :) Bit sad to start work again tomorrow but only 5 weeks to go, after that I'm outta there! :) Note to self: Bring summer inside - pick a huge bunch of lupines+buttercups.

final touches

on our new kitchen! Today, finishing the counter top with hardwax oil. It's a massive oak (not properly portrayed in colour...) counter top and we hope that this'll do the trick. Earlier, it was so sensitive to anything and everything that wasn't wiped off immediately. And that's not good enough for a kitchen, hey.

More pictures of finished kitchen (+before-pictures, obviously!) coming up!! :)

my 25th

A few weeks ago I turned 25 and yesterday a bunch of lovelies took me out to celebrate... half'n half surprise, one might say :)

I got amazing gifts, bowls (matching what I've already got) + tablecloth from fav Bruka Design. Thank you girls so much! :) I feel spoiled and valued :) Gotta love a girl's night out... xoxo

Oh and "guide to Norrköping"... this is one of the best restaurants in the city.

So I'm back to blogging again. Probably not as much as before, but I think I've given this enough thought and yes, I do want to blog. At some level at least. So here I am. Will try and do my very best. There's a lot going on in my life. Most of all this:

:) Due on August 16th.

But no worries. It's not all going to be baby-related from now on, just a little bit more.

Rhubarb+vanilla parfait

And here it is! The second time I've made this parfait ice cream, and it's just the best recipe. I'll make sure to post it for you. It's a recipe I made out of two other ones, so I kinda guess one would say it's mine :) Oh, and don't you just looove the pink colour?? I dooo!

that time of year...

which holds such an amazing abundance of flowers and sun and wonderfulness. Mum and I picked lilies of the valley yesterday, at the best spot ever. The lovely scent now fills our apartment. Especially the kitchen. Oh. The kitchen which calls for some serious blogging :) All renovated and new. And perfect. Hang in there...!

Who needs sea view

when you can have flower view?? This is the view out from my parents' living room window. Gorgeous pink-white apple blossom in full bloom. Just amazing.
