I love cupcakes. Delicious cupcakes in all sizes and flavors, they’re quick to make, you can freeze them for later, just perfect portion sized little cakes. And they are so versatile! Be it baking for an event or occasion or having fun decorating with the kids, cupcakes are always my first go to. My absolutely favorite part about cupcakes is however decorating them (even beats eating them!) 

 I tend to always have frosted cupcakes in the freezer, great for serving to unexpected guests or simply as dessert for my little ladies when I feel they deserve a special treat. I don’t intentionally prepare extras for the freezer, it’s more of always going overboard and making waaaay too many for every occasion. And I obviously always make new ones for any anticipated occasion, hence I end up with loads in the freezer. But that’s ok, no one in my house minds. J

I promise to post some of my favorite recipes and tried & tested tips soon, until then, here are a few examples of my work from the past:

I was initially bilingual, with my mother always speaking Finnish and my father Swedish to me. Just before I turned five, in the beginning of September 1988, my family moved to Saudi Arabia, where my sister and I started Kindergarten at an international school. Around Christmas, I got a new teacher, who didn’t realize I wasn’t a native English speaker. In three months, I had learned to read, write and speak a foreign language on a native level. The first days were challenging, I still remember once crying all day at school, because I didn’t know how to ask to go to the bathroom, and I didn’t dare leave the classroom without permission. End result I wet myself in class and my teacher felt horrible for not realizing that was the reason for my crying. Maybe that’s why one of the first things I...

Defining happiness

You can always read the post here, but for more and updated posts, come join me at my new site!  I was watching the news the other day, and there was a short clip on a new art exhibition by a British artist, Grayson Perry. His art may not be directly down my alley, but what I fell in love with was his definition of happiness: “Happiness is not ecstasy, and a lot of people get them muddled up. Happiness is sort of bumping along ok, having a drink on a Friday night, walking a dog, watching the TV with your family. That’s happiness. It’s not swimming with dolphins. So I’m happy.” I think he makes a great point. To be happy, your life doesn’t need to be overflowing with constant extreme experiences and excitement, it’s so much easier than that. Learning to appreciate and enjoy the small things, the regular things, the “boring” things. Life is also supposed to surprise you, to challenge you and give yo...

However, the very process of sitting down to write this blog is creating the perspective needed to start making sense of the ever revolving cycle of parenthood; th...
