Baka, baka liten kaka...

Means *Bake, bake a little cake and it is a common Swedish children song where you roll the child back and forth (like a dough), add lots of raisins everywhere (tickle, tickle) and then put her "in the owen". Julie loves that song already!

Today Julie will help me to bake chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon buns for my birthday picnic next week that we'll enjoy together with my superMama friends and children. I keep my fingers crossed that we can be outside... but having a fun adventurous picnic in our warm and cozy living room while it's raining outside isn't so bad either!

Chocolate-Chip Cookies
(recipe in Swedish but I can translate for my chocolate lovers. Let me know by posting a comment below;-)!)

3 dl mjöl
1 tsk salt
1 tsk bikarbonat
190 g smör
4½ dl farinsocker
3/4 dl strösocker
1 tsk vaniljsocker
2 ägg
6½ dl havregryn
350 g grovhackad mörk choklad


*blanda mjöl, bikarbonat & salt i en skål.
*Blanda farinsocker, strösocker, vaniljsocker & smör i en annan skål tills det blir krämigt.
*Vispa äggen lätt. Häll i dem & havregrynen. Rör om. Tillsätt mjölblandningen och arbeta väl förhand. Rör till sist ner chokladen. Klicka ut kakorna på smord plåt.
*Grädda dem i 150-180 grader i 8-12 minuter beroende på storlek


*The full version of the song:
Baka, baka liten kaka.
Rulla, rulla, liten bulla.
Mjöla den
och pricka den
och SHUSSSSSS in i ugnen!

Yesterday we celebrated

Yesterday we celebrated our 2,5 year anniversary! Time surely flies when you're having fun! During this time we've got engaged in the Maldives, married in Stadshuset, had our daughter Julie, moved three times, travelled alot (together we've visited Paris (4 times), Lille (3 times), Lyon, Bordeaux (2 times), London (2 times), Dublin, Maldives...), both got permanent job contracts and we've had several parties and dinners for friends and family.

On our anniversary I surprised my husband with gifts and made his favorite dishes moussaka och chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. I got a beautiful bouquet with big red roses and other big white flowers. I became so happy because I looove flowers!
