Hope everyone in the northern hemisphere is having a fantastic summer! And to those ’down under’, have a great fake winter. Our summer here close to the Arctic Circle has been absolutely amazing, 25°C

Long time coming and now all of Finland is complaining about how hot it is. Complaining about the weather is truly a national sport. It hasn’t rained in weeks which is almost abnormal in Finland, we even

Seven full years on Ste…Hive! How insane is that!? A lot can, will and has changed in seven years, and mostly for the better for me. The past is not something I often think about but a birthday like this

Nature drives (bad translations from a finnish word we use for this) are an essential part of life when I’m visiting homehome. Dad says ”get in the car, there is ____ to see”, and you must say yes because

While I was in the countryside for Mother’s Day, I took the opportunity to dig for treasures. I was under the impression that most if not all antiques that were not inside the house were already taken

A wool sweater for summer? Yes, absolutely necessary on these latitudes. Mom was visiting me and asked if I could knit her a sweater if she buys the yarn and of course I said yes. Though mom has special

Hello from northern Finland and this bullshit of a ”spring”. While I mostly don’t have a problem with winter, this prolonged cold, dreary and ugly period is pissing me off. We have had a few sunny days

Never have I ever made cakes this good before! I am not much of a baker but when I have a need for cake, I try to put some real effort into it. We had a joined birthday party and I started baking a week

We are second hand finds also xD On a semi regular basis we like to drive to the city to hit a couple second hand shops and we almost never come home empty handed. Though browsing vintage and antique

Nuremberg is quite the beautiful city and there would have been a lot more to see if I had the chance to stay longer. I of course tried to get in some time to roam around the city with my camera. I stupidly

We have reached our final destination in Germany; Nuremberg. We’ll be here for a week and while most our days will be spend working, we have a little time to roam around the city. With a few hours to kill

It’s been years since I last traveled (Mexico in 2018?) but I’m off to Germany for a week and I’m so excited. We are on a work trip but the secretary (=me) booked an extra day so we have more time to explore

Day I-don’t-know-what of the sauna rebuild and thing are looking up. The Man spend a day putting up the studs, air vents and insulation. On the next day I continued from where he left off and prepped the

After breaking my back by carrying in 1220 kilos of adult legos, it was time to get to building. I watched a 5 minute youtube video by Weber (the brick company), I got this! I wish I was joking but that’s

In Finland it’s Friendship Day and since we are not yet fully ruined by consumerism, this day is not a huge deal here. I did theme my latest manicure to fit Valentine’s Day but in a fairly subtle way.

Few months ago I basically ripped down all the interior (read:inferior) walls of our bathroom/sauna in the basement. Of course the project came at the worst time, in the dead of winter but it is what it

The sun is finally gracing us with its presence after another long dark period. Every year it is just as wonderful as the last when there is more natural light, all of 2 minutes more every day. It’s insane

Battle Of The M1 Macs The M1 chip revolutionised the Macs. It made the machines more efficient and less energy hungry - which allowed, ironically, for more energy hungry things to be done more efficiently

Nothing like some paint to treat seasonal depression. I despise my kitchen cabinets, they are outdated, worn out and a horrid orangey pine colour. I know I won’t be able to do a full kitchen renovation
