Good Saturday morning cupcakes!

How is your weekend coming along so far? Today I slept until 10.30 and now I am enjoying an Iced Coffee and reading through my favorite blogs to wake me up. Later I have a birthday party to attend to with good friends so this is shaping up to be the best Saturday in a long time!

How about you, do you have any exiting plans for the weekend?

3 ting å bli glad av som starter på I

1. Iskaffe. Beste starten på dagen som finnes og jeg drikker i alle fall 2 mens jeg leser avisen eller blar gjennom favorittbloggene mine på søndags morgen.
2. Ingefær. Mmm! Godt i te eller i en god gammeldags ingefærøl. Asiatisk mat med lime, koriander og ingefær er også en favoritt.
3. iPod'en min. Så klart! Spesielt om jeg er på reisefot!

3 things I love starting with the letter I. Naturally it won’t always start with the same letter in English as it does in Norwegian, but what the heck, I'll translate it anyway!

1. Iced Coffee. Best way to start a new day and I drink at least two of them while I read the newspaper or my favorite blogs on Sunday morning.
2. Ginger. Yum! Lovely in tea or in a good old ginger ale. Asian food with coriander, lime and ginger is another favorite of mine.
3. My iPod. This is a no brainer and especially when traveling!

winter wishlist

 This winter I am craving some warm cardigans, a cable knitted tube scarf, 
a few new dresses, wool tights and some reds to spice up my wardrobe. 

What is on your shopping list this season?

shall we call this a lesson learned?

God mandags morgen!

Alle sammen hatt en fin helg? Jeg har bare tatt det med ro, lest ut boken min og begynt så smått å planlegge noen julegaveinnkjøp. 

Denne uken ser jeg frem til litt julegaveshopping og på lørdag blir det endelig stor feiring for fine Ulla - holder ikke å feire kun med en liten middag med jentene når man blir 30 vel :)

Ha en finfin uke!

Good Monday morning!

Did everyone have a nice weekend? I have been taking it easy - 
finished my book and started to plan what to give people for Christmas.

This week I am looking forward to start my Christmas shopping and on Saturday we will finally have a proper celebration for Ulla that just turned 30 - a small dinner with the girls is not quite enough right? :)

Have a great week!

Can't believe it is Saturday again, the weeks just fly by! Seems like only yesterday I walked over to the park to spend a day in the sun and now it's already November, frost and the Christmas hustle and bustle is setting in.

Did you start your Christmas shopping yet? I didn't but I have made a few plans about what people are going to get at least!

Have a lovely weekend cupcakes :)

friday favorites

Hipp hipp hurra, snilleste mammaen min har sponset tur nordover i nyttårshelga på meg og Casper og jeg kunne ikke vært mer fornøyd!

I år hadde jeg hverken julefri eller råd til flybilletten nordover siden Casper skal flytte hit og enda ikke har funnet seg jobb og siden vi må kjøpe masse nytt til leiligheten vår. Men mamsen liker nå engang å få alle barna hjem til jul og da får hun det stort sett som hun vil! Så etter en feriesøknad om et par dager fri på nyåret og en sponset billett senere så er det i boks.

Vinteren er nesten fineste tida i Nord Norge spør du meg, og jeg gleder meg til nordlys, mørketid, innekos, julemat og godt selskap på brygga nedi fjæra!

Så denne ukens fredagsfavoritt er dedikert til fineste mamsen på jord
og til vakre Vesterålen! Vi gleder oss stort til å komme hjem å bli bortskjemt i et par dager igjen. 

Denne uken har jammen bare vært høydepunkter og
ingen skuffelser så langt - ha en finfin helg søtnoser :)

Well, maybe not for Christmas, but at least for New Year!

My mom is just the best! She splashed out for tickets for me and Cas to go home and visit them from the 30th of December to the 4th of January and I could not be more thrilled.

We were not able to afford it ourselves this time around with the moving and Cas being out of a job and all the things we need to buy for our apartment, but my mom like to get all her kids home for Christmas and would not take no for an answer. How sweet is she?!

Winter is by far my favorite season to visit home. The constant dusk, the aurora borealis, the food, the company and our little cabin by the sea.

So this week's Friday favorite is for the best mom ever and for the most gorgeous little place on earth! I can't wait to get back home and get spoiled rotten for a few days again. This week has just been all highs and no lows :)

God mandags morgen!

Alle hatt en fin helg? Det har i alle fall jeg! 

Mye lesing og avslapping og en finfin jentekveld på lørdag. 

I dag får jeg besøk av min kjære tante til middag og det blir koselig for henne er det lenge siden jeg har sett. Ellers ser jeg frem til en rolig uke hvor min eneste plan er å sette opp et par hyller å fikse litt i leiligheten!

Hvilke planer har du for uken?

Good Monday morning!

Did everyone have a nice weekend? I know I did! Got lots of reading and relaxing done and had a great girls night out on Saturday.

Today I am having my aunt over for dinner which is great because I haven't seen her in ages since she lives very far away. 
Other than that I am looking forward to a quiet week where my only objective is to put up a few shelves and fix up my apartment a bit!

What are your plans for the upcoming week?

Now I am going to turn up the volume on indestructible really loud, get into my polkadot dress and get my makeup done because tonight I am going out for pizza and cava with the girls to celebrate my lovely friend Ulla's 30th birthday. It's going to be a great night, I can just feel it!

Enjoy your weekend cupcakes :)

Normally I would have saved this for my 'Tuesday tunes' but I'll make an exception since it is Robyn and therefore naturally a Friday kind of tune!
