april's self-imposed "lockdown" at home... thank goodness for stefan


keeping stefan away from the kitchen is impossible. he cooks up a storm these days of at-home meals: swedish meatballs, dutch pancakes, indonesian curries, flank steak and so much more that were not photographed. 

i am beyond thankful for his delish cooking skills but his hair colouring skills leaves much to be desired but he tries and does the job :) hurry, take a peek at the photo before i delete it! bonus, he now understands why i spend a fortune colouring my hair and is happy for me to go back to the professionals :)

he brings home treats too, like those yummy chocolate chip cookies pictured above. for his birthday, i made him a chocolate cake sheet cake... and it was edible! actually, it was the second time i made it, and if i can say so myself, it was pretty good :) and, on another occasion, i hired my friend's 13-year old daughter, a baker-in-the-making, to whip up a key lime pie (give stefan a break in the kitchen). i may be biased but it was one delicious pie. cecelia, i want more!

stefan has been dealing with our canceled flights... we were to take approximately 8 one-way flights this summer to give you an idea of the headache he is going through to sort it all out. instead of flying to italy, i am reading and dreaming about italy.

our cats and a sprinkle of flowers throughout the house make staying at home just fine. everyone's home should have cats and flowers, just my humble opinion :) 

since kai has been schooling from home - in sweden, only students 16+ are studying from home - we moved his desk into the spare room, so that he and stefan each have their own space. loki has been taking to keeping kai company. every. single. day. it's very cute.














i am the only one leaving the house to go to work, this is my bike ride view
many of you are in true lockdown while here in sweden life is pretty normal-ish. you have asked me about life in sweden, and be assured the three of us are doing what we can to stay healthy. you do the same, okay?
