Pretty

So like I mentioned I was gonna do in my last blog, I made cupcakes Thursday afternoon. I was gonna make 8 almond cupcakes and 8 vanilla ones. The first 8 looked funny and I realized I had forgotten sugar, the next 8 went fine, but the frosting didn't stay in the bag I was gonna put it on with so it turned out to be a big, big mess and I ended up putting the frosting on with a spoon, they looked.. Charming. I had decided to make another 8 vanilla ones since the first ones didn't really turn out being cupcakes at all and they were perfect, yay!! So tasty, I ate way too many of course.

The ones to the left are the ones without sugar

Spoon frosting.. Big mess!!

And perfect!

 To my pleasure I woke up to snow yesterday, proper snow that stuck this time. Not like last time when it was snowing a lot, but there were no snow on the ground. I had to get out and enjoy it of course so I walked in to town and met Ken when he was finished working. The shops had started decorating for christmas and there were lights everywhere. It was really pretty!

Everything was all white like this.

Pretty

Super pretty!

Today we went for a nice walk and enjoyed the snow and snowball fighting, haha!

Everything was so beautiful, but we saw a bag in the water and decided to get it out of there

Ken being an everyday hero, haha

Happy to be home and warm

Later we're going for dinner at my mum's, that's always nice. Stay warm and cosy <3

Bakin'

Yesterday it was one of those lovely days when you wake up and can't help but smile because the sun is in your face, especially since it's been so long ago since last time that happened. I tried to make the most of it and ran a few errands, got a few things done and went for a long walk.

We made tacos or wraps or tortillas or what ever it's called later! It's so nice and I don't think of it that often so I don't make it much, but when I do I love it!

We also watched "Rock Star", a movie about a guy who plays in a tribute band and end up being the lead vocalist in the band they're tributing. It was fun, it's worth a watch! Myles Kennedy was in it, he looked hilarious! Mark Wahlberg plays the lead and Jennifer Aniston plays his girlfriend, she looked stunning in it!

Movie time!

Today I woke up hoping it would be sunny like yesterday, but no! It was as grey as it gets! Ken really wanted blueberry muffins and I really wanted to bake so I baked just that. It was fun, I've never done it before. They turned out really tasty, but that was about it.. I put them in a cupcake tray and the whole thing looked like a cake afterwards, when I try to take the muffins out, they kind of collapse. It's only for us though, it's not like I baked them for a party or anything so as long as they taste good, I'm very happy!

Aren't these cute? I found them in Ikea, haha!

It started out looking like this, I just had to sprinkle some sugar, butter and flour mix on top and they were done. The recipe said I had to fill the little cups all the way.

It ended up looking like this. Like a cake. 

As I don't really know what to do differently I probably won't make this for anyone, haha! Only me and Ken and stuff if we crave it. Now I'm baking bread and either later or tomorrow I'm going to make cupcakes. I don't know what got over me, but I don't mind, it's fun! I haven't baked much before so it's exciting to learn new things. I'm excited to try the cupcakes, I've baked it once before with help from my good friend, Ciara, I hope they turn out somewhat similar to what they did then.

I want to learn how to bake healthier options and stuff like that, I've seen there's a recipe for healthy chocolate chip cookies for example, I'd love to try that at some point. The bread I make is really healthy and so good, it's my grandma's recipe, she's made it since I was a kid, it's really cool to me that I can make it too. It looks like this:

It's really good!

Now I'm just waiting for todays bread to be done:)

I found this photo on Instagram, I really wish all fruit came with this, it's adorable!

This is just totally hot looking as always, I got it the other day.

I've come to really enjoy baking and cooking lately, I didn't enjoy it at all when I was younger, I always love finding a new passion, it's so exciting! Now I'm gonna go and eat some more muffins, Take care:)

Fall beauty

Yesterday I spent the morning at my mums place. She's got herself a new house and are throwing away lots of things from the house she's been living in and to help her do that she had my aunt fly in from Trondheim. She's not my aunt by blood, but she's just always been my aunt, you know that way? We had a great breakfast together, my mum loves big breakfasts and so do I so it's lots of bread and everything you could possibly have on it, eggs, sausages and bacon. It was great!

I went through some clothes to see if I wanted any and I went through some of my old school books. I found a few great clothes that I liked and kept and while going through my school books I found so much drawings in them I thought I'd show some. I used to be absolutely crazy about horses. I still am of course, but I used to have horses on everything I owned. I forgot to take pictures of the beautiful breakfast and my beautiful aunt unfortunately, but I took some of my old books.

So it started like this, this is from 97 so when I was five. Before I had even started riding, I started when I was six. I had a thing for horses long before I actually got to be around them.

The heart around only the word horse!! Haha

I think I had to draw the different seasons and I put some horses in there too!

We had to make a comic strip! Haha, it just looked so funny!

This one says in the first picture "just rubbish" and the second one says "This is the way we want it"

This is obviously not my drawings in my book, it must have been the thing that happened before frapes!

My drawings evolved a little thankfully! This one was drawn in 04 so I must have been 12.  I can't explain the extremely long legs, it must have been a young horse, haha!

I also liked drawing them in a funny way.

It was so much fun looking through my books, almost every page looked like that, I had forgotten how much I liked to draw! I also read my diary from when I was little and instead of having boys names in hearts I used to have horse names. In my diary it said:

"What is your favorite thing to do: See and ride Rozz.

What is the highlight of your weekend: Brush and spend time with Rozz

What do you look forward to: Ride and pet Rozz"

It was so funny to read!

My grandma and her husband is here for my dads birthday today. It so good to see them. They brought their Rottweiler, Roma, as well. It's nice to have a dog in the house again. They drove here from east in Norway, a place called Telemark. It close to Oslo. I don't get to see them a lot so I'm always very happy when they are here. 

My dad is turning 47 today so I made cupcakes for him yesterday. I've made cupcakes before, but only with my friend, Ciara, because she actually can bake. I tried on my own this time and they turned out fine. It was fun and they looked really cute.

I don't think we're celebrating his birthday a lot, but it's very nice being with him on his birthday again as we have been in different countries the last few years and haven't seen each other for any of the holidays or birthdays. I love being here. 

I've been out all day today and I just love the fall colours. Every single tree is just so stunning and you feel like you're walking in a fairytale world. It's raining yellow leaves and the ground is full of them too so wherever you see it's so beautiful, especially on such a beautiful sunny day like this! I don't think fall and it's beauty will ever stop amusing me. 

Happy birthday dad, I love you
