Happy Friday everyone! Paul and I are celebrating five years of marriage today…. what a five years it’s been. Truthfully, not a boring moment. When we said our vows we knew that we’d be moving overseas, though we didn’t yet know we’d end up in Sweden. We promised to work through things anywhere, anyhow, and I’m proud of us for keeping that promise. Moving to a new country, with a new language, without a support system was certainly a test of the early years of our marriage, and I truly believe it is because we made those promises in front of friends and family who love and support us that we are still together today. I can’t wait to see what adventure the next five years might bring!
We’re in the final days of our vacation in the Pacific Northwest and will be making our way back to Stockholm early next week. This means I need to get my head back into meal planning mode! We’ll be arriving home early Wednesday morning to an empty fridge, and heading into the office almost immediately, so I’ll be relying on a few freezer meals I’ve got stashed away, buying a couple of salads, and planning a proper meal plan for the following week. Now on to the links!
1. Seeking a saner food system. Good read.
2. Advice from a vegan cardiologist. Food for thought.
3. What’s the best bedtime snack? Dr. Andrew Weil weighs in.
4. Are multivitamins worth it? Answers from the Harvard School of Public Health
5. Why are trans fats bad for you? The science explained.

Thank you 🙂
Happy Anniversary Katie & Paul!
Thanks Pauline!
Ahhhh you guys are such beautiful people!!! Happy anniversary! What an adventure you guys have been on! That sounds so so fun. I mean scary to not know anyone/the language…but also fun and exotic. Are you in the Pacific Northwest in the U.S.? That’s awesome!!
UGH thanks to school I don’t have time to read all your articles like I normally would, but I skimmed the bedtime snack one (interesting, and very fitting…I was skimming it while munching on an apple + PB–my pre-bed snack) and have bookmarked the trans fats and vegan cardiologist articles!! Thanks, as always, for a great round up and hope you’re having way too much fun 😉
Pacific Northwest in Canada! Spent 3 weeks with my family in Vancouver and on the Sunshine Coast of BC. Bliss!
School is a drag for that but it’ll be worth it one day! Just skim what you can and read the ones that really grab your attention. You got this!
Many congratulations to you and your partner in life, Paul. We are on 26 and counting :-). Yes, we are old…
You also got married earlier! I know you’re about 15 years older than me so you must have married at around 23? I didn’t take the plunge until I was 30, and Paul and I had already been living together for over 6 years!
We got married so we could date! Andrew in Scotland me in Florida so it was getting expensive flying back and forth and not very satisfying. We knew each other five years before marrying. I was 24, but didn’t have my daughter until 32 because we were busy dating!
Dating is a great thing to be busy with!
