I loved cabbage rolls when I was a kid and this was my first Lithuanian dish that I learned to make all by myself! I am proud to even say that my dad doesn’t even know how to make them and he is big on patriotic food! We call cabbage rolls ‘balandeliai’ which actually means…
Hey! Aren’t you supper happy that the summer bank holiday is almost here? I know I am! Although I am nowhere near to Notting Hill Carnival, extra free time with my hubby is worth to celebrate! So I thought sharing a project on how to make the confetti cones crate would be quite appropriate. I…
After living with an Englishman for over a month, I realised that a pudding is an important part of the meal. Joni’s favourites are figgy dowdy, plum duff and spotted dick (yes, that’s right, thats how they call their puddings). All of these puddings are steamed puddings and that’s what I am going to talk…
When it comes to organising big events such as weddings, the seating chart is much needed poster. But does it have to be a poster? We tried to avoid that in our wedding. After checking out some ideas on Pinterest, I initially got attracted with the idea of drying line design (with the rope, pegs…
We were on the strict budget when planning our honeymoon. If you have read wedding dress alterations post, you probably remember that most of our money went on the reception venue and caterers.

Not only that our flight was from Florence, but also we visited for many cultural reasons such as architecture, theater (we went to see italian opera once) and some shopping. I personally loved tall, four/three storey buildings with beautiful long windows. If you are in Florence, prepare…
Once someone told me that when it comes to the wedding planning choose one thing that is most important to you, spend most of the money for that and make everything else work around it. This advice stuck in my head throughout my wedding planning! I guess majority of the brides would say that the…
Last week Joni asked me to bake a cake for his work so he could celebrate our wedding with his colleagues. As soon as he asked I thought ‘great’! I can use up at least one jar of marmalade that we got in the house (for some reason people think that Joni LOOOOOAAAVES marmalade so we…
If you are going to Italy sometime soon, be sure to visit thermal springs in Saturnia. We were lucky to stay in North Tuscany, so we reached this little town in two and a half hours by car. It was totally worth it! The only thing I would have done differently is to visit different…
