Winding Down

Friday 28 March 2014
It's Friday night and since I'm not going out or doing anything, I like to wind down with a latte and some dessert. I made these whoopie pies with cream cheese filling. I modified the recipe to add cocoa powder in the cookies but you can click on the label below to see the recipe that I used. I wouldn't call my drink a true "latte," but I think I've made something that tastes almost as good. I don't have an espresso machine so I just do with my stove top and a coffee machine. For you latte lovers that don't have an espresso machine at home, you might want to try this out! *(I like caramel lattes but you don't have to add caramel). First I put the syrup at the bottom of the mug (not too much or else it will be too sweet). Then I boil the milk and use an electric mixer or foam maker if you have one of those to make it creamy and foamy. Put the amount of coffee (preferably strong) that you want in the cup and add the milk/cream on top followed by the foam that is left.* 

This is my new favorite chocolate that just came out! My favorite chocolate of all time is the Freia Melkesjokolade (milk chocolate), but they came out with the same thing with Oreo in it! It melts in your mouth and is so satisfying. I can't get enough. I'm not sure if you can order it anywhere but the only place that I've found it is here in Norway. If you every come to Norway try Freia chocolate it's the best chocolate that you'll ever eat!

Moving Overseas

Thursday 27 March 2014







Moving to Norway wasn't easy; I'm still adjusting to the new lifestyle. My house is incredibly small and only has one bedroom. I've managed to keep my privacy with curtains and I've come to love my new room! It's finally set up with the new items I picked up on my recent shopping spree. I tried to keep it simple and stuck with orange and blue for my main colors. My favorite buy was definitely the flower lights on the wall. I've been looking all over for them, and here they are! They're solar powered so they charge during the day and turn on when the sun goes now; very efficient. Most of my new findings are from (believe it or not) .. IKEA! Typical, especially for Norway, but they have everything you could ever need! My side table, lamp, flower lights, striped blanket, pillows, rug, animal fur and mint/black baskets are all from IKEA. I'm so glad I picked up the fur last second because our floor is hard and it's very soft and more cushioned than the rug alone. Since I moved to Norway, I've done close to nothing. I'm finished with school and I'm just waiting to go back to Alaska for my graduation. I went to Sweden and spent loads of money on clothes and some accessories. I can also share that! Most of my time is used taking photos, drawing and cooking new foods and desserts. I have to admit, it's really weird not having a schedule or need to go and do anything during the day. It's great to be close to family though, and I can't wait to travel Europe while I'm here and share photos of my visits!
