Food & baking, Hobbies, lifestyle

Hello reader!

A lot has happened since the last post on this blog. Almost two years have passed, and my life is now very different. (In a good way!)
I’m still living with my hubby, but we’ve moved to a house in the countryside, right by the forest. There are absolutely beautiful hiking trails here, many cows and horses, birds and wildlife. We will live here until I finish my studies. Because yes, I have started studying as well!

I needed a break from work, doing something creative and fun for a while. Since August 2024, I have been studying media production from home. Now, a year later, I will continue with digital marketing. This means that I’m spending so much more time at home (yay), I have more time to spend on hobbies, more energy, and I get to be creative on a daily basis. I’m basically living the dream right now. 🙂

We’ve started growing some of our own food, which has been a dream for several years now. It’s still very small scale, but we’re learning as we go and will increase in the future. Right now we are growing potatoes, carrots, two types of tomatoes, strawberries, Swiss chard, and onions. It’s such a luxury to be able to eat home-grown food.
I’ve also started to look into the wild edible plants as well, so that we can gather things from the forest on top of our own crops.

Lately I have been leaning towards a more “natural” life. Growing crops is a part of that, but also when it comes to skincare, hair care and other products we use at home. I want to use more natural, clean, and pure products. I figured I’d share more about that on this blog from now on.

The blog name has also been changed from “Dinkflex” to “Amongpines”, to emphasise the calm life in harmony with nature that I’m aiming for. I and hubby are still childfree, and will remain so. I just want a wider theme here, where I can share about all sorts of things in my/our life.

I hope you will enjoy the “comeback” of this blog; I’m very excited to start it up again!

Until next time,
