If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. – J.R.R. Tolkien

Hello! Howdy! Tjena! My name is Cailin and I am an American living in Sweden with my Swedish Macedonian husband and our small brood. I am also a seamstress, yoga instructor, and (relatively) newbie-homesteader. After years of apartment living, we’ve recently bought our first house, a true fixer-upper, and look forward to the journey of making it a home.
So join me for house updates, yoga practices, sewing tips and tricks, gardening do’s and don’ts, and a glimpse into the rich tapestry of a multicultural family!
