My great love for strawberries is no secret and that is why that I am now a bit sad because the season has already come and gone. Now I have to wait about 9 months before I can have them again. A few weeks ago I was at the market and bough a big box […]
Can Money Buy Happiness?
When I was I my teens one of my favorite movies was “Can’t buy me love” (1987) with a very young Patrick Dempsey. It is about a dorky boy paying one of the popular girls to be his girlfriend for a month and in that manner becoming one of the cool ones as well. Does […]
Weekend Tradition
I am very big on traditions and so is the family. I like the familiarity of doing something over and over again and I think it creates a great feeling of unity, closeness and safety. One of our family traditions is our Saturday morning family breakfast. With the kids going to school and kindergarten six […]

Something Sweet for the Weekend 3
Weekend is in the air and it is time to bake something again. Today I am making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies because that they taste really good and because I can kid myself and pretend that they are healthier than other cookies 😉 These are really fast to make – about half an hour including […]
Time is Money
I am great at doing all other things than what I am supposed to do. Just this past hour I have been on Facebook at least 3 times, on Gmail at least twice, folded some laundry, started a new machine of laundry, made myself a cup of coffee… And that is now even all of […]
