    Big Changes, Babycinos, and a (Probably Christmassy) July

    ByRasa Pelham June 16, 2025June 17, 2025

    The last time I wrote on here, it was January 2021 — deep in lockdown, deep in morning sickness, and very much not bouncing around the café. We were trying to keep the café afloat, homeschooling Lukas (while toddler-wrangling Tomas), and quietly preparing for the arrival of baby number three later that year. Since then?…

    How I stay focused through the year

    ByRasa Pelham October 25, 2019October 25, 2019

    I often get asked how I am getting on with our current cafe project. “You must be very busy!” they add. I then simply answer that I am just getting on with it. People seem to expect me to be stressed and panicked. But the truth is that I don’t believe panicking is useful or…

    Our big news!

    ByRasa Pelham August 24, 2019January 14, 2024

    Well well well, this has probably been our best kept secret (ok, longest kept secret) for over a year and a half! And the secret was (some of you may have guessed it, or may have been told) that we are opening a cafe here in Shortstown where we live! I am also back to…

    My 2019 goals

    ByRasa Pelham January 24, 2019January 11, 2024

    I usually set my new year goals on New Years eve (or even before), but this time I waited… I was worried, because I was still not sure if the new venture is going to work out. What if it did not and then I would need to cross that goal off? I realised the…

    My review of bullet journaling

    ByRasa Pelham September 1, 2018January 25, 2024

    At the beginning of this year I tried bullet journalling, so how did I get on? Well… my opinion about it has not changed much. I think this system is best suited for a single person who loooooves stationary. However the system itself is cool and it can maybe be applied to a wall organiser. Or…

    Why I'm putting my phone down for 28 days

    ByRasa Pelham January 31, 2018February 8, 2024

    So here is a good idea, how about we ditch our smartphones for a month?! This is what I thought when somebody I follow on Instagram claimed they did it last year. Back then I thought it’s not a good timing to do it, but I was definitely interested in the freedom (I presumed) I would…

    So here we are, I am starting my very first bullet journal!! As excited as I am you should really know that it took me over a year to actually try out this organisational system. Initially I noticed my friend Jacolien journaling on the Instagram and then I read somewhere that this system lets you…

    My 2016 resolutions

    ByRasa Pelham January 7, 2016July 13, 2024

    Writing New Year resolutions is my favourite thing to do on New Years Eve! I love it more than celebrating. I did not even stay up till midnight this time, instead I woke up the next morning feeling it’s a New Year with new beginnings… exciting! After reflecting on 2015 and realising what worked and what…
