Last week on the train to Tel Aviv I couldn’t help but overhear as the girl sitting across from me was talking to her friend on the phone. She did talk rather loudly, by who am I really kidding; listening to other’s conversations is fun! The girl on the train (I am going to call […]
Don’t Believe Everything You See (or Hear)
About a year ago, my kids were talking about commercials and asked me what their purpose is. I told them that they are here to advertise and get us to buy certain products. That is strange they said, because for them, commercials have no persuasion power what so ever. Really??! My daughter has nice, thick […]
Painting a Pretty Picture?
A few days ago, someone I know finished a 100 day Instagram challenge of #100happydays, where she for the duration of a 100 days posted a daily picture of something that made her happy. On the last day of the challenge she posted a collage of some of her favorite pictures while also adding that […]
Never doesn’t Necessarily have to Mean Never
Remember my no buying project? My project where I decided to stop buying clothes, shoes and accessories? If not, you can read more about it in this previous blog post. From April to late November I bought absolutely nothing and have since then only bought a t-shirt and just last week, a pair of […]
How do we Teach the Kids about Money?
In this house, we both work with finances and we both work from home. Being self-employed, we are not always sure what the next months of income are going to look like, so we try to be smart about it, mainly by budgeting. As any parents our hopes and wishes for the kids is that […]
The Hardest Part
If you remember my post a few weeks back, one of my goals this year is to be more active physically and so I have been running three times a week for three weeks now. I am pleased, but must admit that it is quite a struggle; a struggle to get out of the house, […]

As most other women, also I, shave my legs on a more or less regular basis . These days, it being winter and all, I have to admit that it is not really something that I put a lot of effort into. Apart from those living with me, nobody gets to see my legs anyways. […]
New Year, New Beginnings!?
For the last couple of years, Dear Husband and I have made it a habit to take some time out at the last day of the year to recap the one that passed and to talk about what we want for the one that is coming. We make a date out of it and make […]
Things I didn’t Understand 25 Years Ago…
When I was about 12, I really wanted a pair of Converse All-Stars. I don’t remember how much they cost exactly, but it being Denmark in the 90’s and they being imported, I am sure that they weren’t cheap. My mother thought they were too expensive and didn’t agree to buy them and instead offered […]
What I Hopefully Learned from my 7 Months “No-Buy” Project
Back in September I decided that I needed a little break from the blog, some time to think about what I wanted to do here and where to go next. That it would be a two-and-a- half month break was not planned and it sure is nice to be back! So, I have decided to […]
