    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…

    Year three with books: "Little Paris Kitchen"

    ByRasa Pelham December 18, 2017February 11, 2024

    Dear oh dear I had a busy weekend (it was fun as well), but I finished reading the “Little Paris Kitchen” cookbook (and trying almost all the recipes) which has taken me a whole year. I of course could not make all the items from the book. Some of the recipes were not very family…

    Year three with books: "Bridget Jones's Diary"

    ByRasa Pelham August 7, 2017February 22, 2024

    I bet everyone knows this book! It’s a classic cringe comedy as Joni would call it. Oh, and it made into the movies! To be honest I felt like the movie actually polluted my imagination as I was reading this book as I could just imagine Bridget as Renée Zellweger (there is no way from running…

    Year three with books: "The 80/20 Principle"

    ByRasa Pelham June 17, 2017February 23, 2024

    This book turned out to be exactly what I expected to be. I am not sure if 20/80 principle is common sense or if I knew it deep in me but I feel like I have not learned much. I have been reminded of few things, but certainly it have not been ground breaking! The…

    Year three with books: "The Shack"

    ByRasa Pelham April 13, 2017February 23, 2024

    I finished this book just in time for Easter, which reminded what relationship with God is really about. Thanks for iBooks version I could read it on my phone while in labour or while feeding Tomas to sleep. Basically I have been reading this heart warming book just when I needed, during the most challenging…

    Pancake day in a French style

    ByRasa Pelham February 24, 2017February 23, 2024

    Since the pancake day is approaching soon (the day surely not to be missed) I have been practicing making pancakes the French way. I of course was learning from the best, Rachel Khoo and her book “Little Paris Kitchen”, that I am reading right now. It turns out that French don’t only live on crepes…

    Year three with books: "How Eskimos Keep their Babies Warm"

    ByRasa Pelham February 10, 2017February 24, 2024

    So no baby here yet, but I am definitely on top of my reading list this year. Decided to prioritise the parenting book, although what I learned is better applied to Lukas rather than the new baby to come. “How Eskimos Keep their Babies Warm” is a very interesting book about parenting in different cultures….

    Year three with books

    ByRasa Pelham January 13, 2017February 24, 2024

    I have been setting a goal to read books for two years so far. And I am not planning to quit this year either! In fact I decided to do it differently this year, I thought I will finish reading the books that I once started but not finished in the past. Of course there…

    Well well well, where shall I begin. To start with I would like to say that I made my goal for this year, I finished this within a week (my personal best speed in reading. And the book wasn’t the easiest to read! Oh no! A lot of people I spoke to who read a…
