I would be so proud if I had a daughter who could make cupcakes like these. It’s not just the simple-looking cupcakes we see in the stores and at the cafés but these cupcakes are beautifully embellished. Hubby is driving students to and from the school and one of them he’s learned has a hobby of [...]
We don’t have any intention of becoming a coin collector nor a numismatist. These coins are what we’ve kept from our travels, mostly on road trips, when we needed loose change for tollgates and small snacks. It seems as though we become coin collectors in the end. But not numismatists since we are not studying about [...]
I’m pretty sure you all know about collecting stamps or like most women do, collecting bags or shoes. I do have quite a number of bags but it’s not something I would have thought of collecting. Sometimes we meet people who have the hobby of collecting things and it so happened that I’ve met one and [...]
It’s the name of the book I have just finished reading. I was so dragged to the story that I didn’t want to put it down till I’d come to the last page. It’s like I wanted to know what would happen next and every chapter was a discovery of another unpredictable truth. And that would [...]
It was more than three years ago when I started blogging and my very first post was a photo of a man doing bungee jumping. I thought it would be appropriate to post additional photos of it since it’s high time for doing such a jump. Adventurous and hobbyists must be making most of the short summer [...]
There are times when I feel like baking though these times do not come so often as I want it. I am a poor hand at baking and cooking, however I’ve been trying to learn since I got married. Whenever I try to bake something and it will turn out the way it should be feels like heaven to me. Fortunately, [...]
France is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, with serene countryside, exquisite architecture and cuisine that makes you want to move there. Not everybody visits France for its history, or even because they are visiting a friend though. Some go there for the casinos. Despite the fact that different types of gambling, [...]

Online Catalogues For Easier Shopping
Shopping online is a trending activity in front of the computer. It’s, however, a decisive choice to browse for catalogues online before indulging into excessive shopping. The eckersleys art craft catalogue, for instance, gives an overview of the products for art and craft enthusiasts.
Quite a late post about the start of Advent observation here but it has just started and just one of the four candles has been lighted. This is one event in this country that I don’t want to miss. Each year I spend time preparing my place for Advent. My kitchen window will always look [...]
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten these small, bite-sized dessert until a few months ago when we entered our room at Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. I didn’t even know it was called French Macarons. I learned the name on Pinterest when I saw some pinned photos which I thought kind of well-known to me. I thought they’re just plain cookies but when I [...]
Decorative Pumpkins for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and some children can’t really wait to dress up scary. I always prepare goodies and candies just in case they come to ring the doorbell and rant “trick or treat?” in chorus. I’m not used to decorating my home for halloween but a tint of orange or yellow as a [...]
It’s my first time to join Vår Ruset yesterday at Slottsskogen (park). It’s a yearly race for women here in Sweden and Gothenburg had its turn yesterday. It happens in the month of May when Spring is at its best. All women at work or in different organizations are welcome to join. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bit of luck [...]
We thought our final gathering at work this time would be uninteresting since we were told that the administration would not be treating us a free Christmas smorgasbord (julbord). We were instead told to have potluck, which sounded more or less pleasing to everyone. But it turned out to be a smorgasbord (smörgåsbord) of international food culture. From pasta to pirogue, spring rolls [...]
Revisiting National Museums of World Culture
This autumn break has been relaxing for me despite the paperworks I’ve needed to be done. But that’s the life of a teacher – working a little on school breaks. We’ve had to work for three days this week and yesterday, the final day, was a competency development at the Swedish National Museums of World Culture. The [...]
