mrs. effective herself

The one good thing about being this sensitive to pollen (and having to stay in all day) is that I get a lot of stuff done. Today I’ve cleaned my bathroom, made scones, folded the laundry, prepared dinner and my lunch boxes for this week and now I’m making CHOKLADBOLLAR! Thinking about vacuuming and washing the windows as well but we’ll just have to see about that… 

the love for a friend

One year ago me, Annie, Alex and Janet threw a surprise-birthday-tea-party for our friend Johanna on her 24th birthday. She was thrilled and we had a fantastic day together. Time flies and today it’s her 25th birthday and I could’ be happier to call her my friend. Sometimes I almost think of our friendship like a special little marriage – we support each other through the good and the bad.

Johanna, min pärla, hope you’re having the best birthday ever – you deserve it all, always ♥

don’t burst my bubble

15 minutes of pure happiness on the balconny is what I got before my eyes started to bugg me. Scones were great, coffe was great and even if you can’t see it you should know that my background music (soft jazz) was great too. Maybe these lazy saturdays aren’t so bad after all…? 💗

an everlasting affair

When it come to scones, it’s always been my kind of ”signature dish” amongst my friends when we were young(er). Unfortunately I don’t make them so often these days, but today felt like a perfect day for lovely, warm carbs drenched in butter ;)

8 små scones:
5 dl. vetemjöl (byt ut 2 dl till grahamsmjöl/rågsikt on ni vill vara lite snällare mot magen)
2 tsk. bakpulver
1 krm. salt
75 gram smör/bakmargarin
2 dl mjölk eller filmjölk

In i ugnen på 250 grader varmluft cirka 8-10 minuter, glöm inte ”picka” dem! :)

me, bitter? never!

Thick in the head cause of pollen and tired to the bone cause of the… I don’t know what or why actually? I do know I’m not at the gym as planned, instead I’m at home baking scones and wondering if it’s a disney or a comedy-day regarding movies. Would love to go for a walk but I would not love the following crazy sneeze attacks. So yeah, I’m stayin in.

cool on your island

This has t be one of the most beautiful songs in the entire world. Can’t let go of the lyrics.

If you don’t treat me better
Baby I’ll just run away
Baby I don’t know what drives you
To play all these silly games
C’mon baby
I’m much stronger than you know
Sometimes
I’m not afraid to let it show

When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
