So, it's gray in Oslo. Again . This year, there's no escaping it, sadly. Oh, how I wish we could. Last year, we snatched up a cheap airfare deal on Norwegian and ran off to Malaga, Spain for a few days in February. Those memories are all that's sustaining me right…

A Song: Ready for Something New
This beautiful video went viral last spring, just as Jonathan and I decided we were also ready for something new. It's one of my favorite things. Ever. Tom Fletcher of British band McFly sings to his wife while the rest of us watch her grow and grow and grow through…
Oh, what if...?
Let's play the What if...? game. It'll be fun. You just have to read through my list of hypotheticals and try to follow the way my loopy, school-stressed, Twinkie-loving, pregnant brain works. And then, if you have a blog and feel so compelled, write your own What if...? post. Thanks…

Moving to Scandinavia? A few things to think about...
Furniture: What to Bring & What to Leave Behind Remember that big city flats tend to be small. Unquestionably, we brought too much furniture. Because Jonathan's company relocated us, we took that opportunity to ship almost everything. While this may have been smart from a cost perspective at the time…
Climbing & Volleyball & Heredity & Love
We love to climb. I wonder if she will. That's not always the way it works. When I was little, my parents played volleyball on weekends with their friends. They trucked my brothers and me out to the elementary school playground and then, after putting up the net, proceeded to…

This popular post was feeling a bit like old news. I've written an update with multiple food delivery options here: Kolonial: Online Grocery Shopping in Oslo II (January 2016). The only time I miss having a car is when I know it's time to shop for kitty litter. I've had…
