Being in an intercultural marriage (🇬🇧🇫🇮) is interesting because cultural differences emerge at the most surprising moments. Currently, we are planning our son's 4th birthday party in a few weeks and I thought I might make a jelly, because to me, that's the quintessential kids' party dessert. When I mentioned this to my husband, he looked at me as if I have three heads. He even asked around at his workplace and the reaction was one of confusion and disgust. Now I'm afraid no one will like it, even though it was one of my childhood favourites. Should I make it anyway? Worst-case scenario, I just eat it myself 😂

GM ☕️ It warmed up to 0°C outside and I am SWEATING 🥵

I guess I have woman flu, which is where I think I have a bit of a sniffle and carry on with my regular activities, while my husband says I look like death and feel like a furnace 😬

GM ☕️ A neighbour got this beautiful shot of yesterday's halo effect ✨️ I could have sworn I saw a rainbow in the sunset but I wasn't at a good angle to capture it and then it was gone. Now I know I didn't dream it 😍

Today we had this very striking sun pillar at sunset 🌅 Apparently it's caused by the sun reflecting off tiny ice crystals suspended in the air ❄️

Pub absolutely packed out tonight. Must be because we got a real bodhrán player over from Ireland 🇮🇪🎶 #musicstr #irishmusic

Printing was going to be a hassle so I decided to make hand-drawn invitations for my son's upcoming birthday party 🎈 Only inviting a few kids so it's not as OTT as it sounds 😂

Rare family outing with all three of us ❄️ My highest wish for 2026 is that we can achieve a work situation that gives us more of this while also paying our bills 🙏

Kids' winter transport 😆

GM! ☕️ I wish I could capture how beautiful it is outside today. All the snow is sparkling in the sunlight ❄️✨️

Neighbourhood rink is up ⛸️🏒❄️

GM ☕️ I'm back to work (i.e. alone in a quiet house) today and it feels like 🎆

GM ☕️ Two days left at home with my 3yo. Slim chance of getting outside today. What am I going to do with him indoors all day 🙈

Helsinki centre, -14°C Even in my most Arctic gear, it's still cold 🥶 (Looks like another Bitcoiner has been here 🫡)
