According to the calendar, summer is officially still not here. But unofficially, it is already quite hot! I am not a big fan of the summer as it gets here. It is simply too hot for me. I blame my Scandinavian upbringing 🙂 Summer means ice cream and ice lollies (or ice pops), but unfortunately […]
Why is it so Hard to Say No?
About 5 years ago, we put our apartment up for rent because we were moving to another part of the country but still weren’t ready to sell. It took much longer to find a renter than we first thought and with both a baby and a toddler and a big move before us, we were […]
Things to do with or without Kids – DIY hand painted coffee cups
Sometimes we need kids as an excuse for doing certain things, like going to see that Disney movie, going on all the rides in the amusement park or sitting down and doing some crafts. When you think about it, I guess that they shouldn’t be. We should be able to do all these things also […]
5 Reasons Why You Should Make Your Bed
Most people would say that our house is a bit on the minimalistic side when it comes to our furniture and things, or lack thereof. We don’t have a lot of things standing around because that is the way we like it. I like to have space and air and get a bit stressed out […]

Almost every day we make some kind of payment. Today’s technology makes it possible to make those payments in a number of ways. If we take a look at the history of money (see this link for a cute movie on the subject) we see that what we today call payments in cash, have been […]
How to take a Steps in the Right Direction to Create a Financially Smart Habit
Sometimes I feel that it is just so much easier to do the things that are less good for me instead of the things that (I know) are good for me. It is much easier to stay on the couch than to put on my sneakers and go for a run. It is much easier […]

What’s for Dinner 28
