Organized grocery shopping
by Sofia - in Cooking
I may not be many things but I would like to think that organised would be on the list of things I am. It just makes everyday life a little easier to have things somewhat under control. But when it comes to groceries and dinner I tend to go with the flow. Menus are often based on whatever looks good and fresh at the market that day. I look for recipes I want to try in magazines, cookbooks and online and obviously we have the family favourites on rotation like I presume everyone does. But now I have taken action and decided to plan the weekly menus even better from now on. I started ordering our groceries online ( I know I´m so behind, but the thing is I actually like grocery shopping)! So now I decided to plan the coming weeks menu in advance and then order everything ready. I have the weekly planner we use for our family where I write down all our hobbies and such so I write down the weeks menu there after deciding on different recipes ( I have a Pinterest folder full of recipes to try if you are looking for inspiration). Then I check my pantry as to what I have and what I will need and then make my order. I have a grocery shopping list on hand for the things I don´t find online so we can pick those up with the freshly baked bread and such so I pencil those down at the same time to keep track. I also stock up on basic things like milk, eggs, yoghurt, some fruit and veggies and paper towel etc. online. Very handy!
( I must apologise for the bad lighting in the pictures as I had very little time and a very dark moment of the day to take these. But it was either this or nothing…)

Baby Blue Kangaroo
by Sofia - in Random
I have always loved Trousselier. They made music boxes and mobiles even when I was a little girl. And I always loved loved loved music boxes and still do. The sound is just so soothing almost regardless of the tune. My girls recently received a little addition to the clan of cousins. He is the most adorable little boy. We got him this soft musical box as a welcome home from the hospital gift to keep in his crib and to listen to before falling asleep. Oh how babies make me feel all warm and fuzzy!

Hyvää viikonloppua
by Sofia - in Random
Aivan ihanaa viikonloppua! Lähdin tyttökavereiden kanssa viikonlopuksi Lontooseen joten tiedossa on paljon höpöttelyä, ehkä vähän shoppailua ja toivottavasti Audrey Hepburn National Portrait Galleryssa. Mutta erityisesti vaan yhdessä vietettyä aikaa!
Just wishing you a great weekend! I´m off to London with my girlfriends! We have some great little things planned like grocery shopping at the Borough Market on Saturday morning which I´m really looking forward to. And we are keeping our fingers crossed our concierge finds us tickets to the Audrey Hepburn exhibition Portraits of an icon in the National Portrait Gallery. My friend recommended it to us and it sounds wonderful. Oh and we will surely keep the above rhyme in mind tonight at dinner…
