A short introduction After so many years, I finally started the blog and websites I always planned. I am living on a small farm in Eastern Finland and been renovating this almost 100 year old house by myself. And before you freak out or anything, my actual name is Jaana, but I early realized that

I like lemon juice. It’s a good addition into mineral water giving it some edge and sweetness. It’s like a perfect match with all the oily fish foods. It keeps avocado and banana slices green and yellow. It softens the skin in dry elbows and takes stains out of hands after picking blueberries. But when

Yes, I did have my birthday few days ago, and it was almost like any other day. I had work to do on that day, no surprise parties, not even a cake. But still, in a way, it was a good birthday. I was in balance with myself. My youngest children started in a new

Ever since the beginning of this year, I knew there will be a lot of changes in my life. Some of those I was expecting to happen, as my children have got older and they are finishing their schools one after another. Then there were the decisions that I made in order to change my

Finally it’s warm! Finally we are having a summer in here. And like I thought before, we kind of skipped over spring and landed straight into summer. It means that it’s time to set our house into summer mode. Open the windows, get fans working, get water into the pool and start having less clothes

I was asked yesterday, if I wanted to go to vacation. Daa. Is fire hot? Is water wet? Of course I want to go to vacation. Who wouldn’t? Besides, my brand new passport just arrived. That made me think about my previous 10 years. As a single mother I have needed to consider how to

I really love my mother tongue. I love that I can speak almost anywhere using my native language and it’s unreal if someone understands it. It’s like a secret or coded language, and it’s easy to hear from pronunciation if the speaker is not a native speaker even if they know the words. I have

The grass has become a debated subject. I can remember, how the lawns used to be small areas between roads, paths, buildings, flower benches, trees and shrubs, only parks had larger areas. Nowadays there can even an hectare of lawn next to a large house to indicate power, success and discipline. What makes the lawn
