And I thought I had left Scandinavia and the arctic winter yesterday only to realise it had arrived in the UK as well while I've been gone. The ScandinavianDad and the girls had really enjoyed being outdoors over the weekend, and when driving up the road where we live there were literally a snowman greeting me outside each house house! Here are a few pictures of Little A yesterday, having fun in...

Shelter in a cardboard castle on a rainy day

Scandinavian mum 3rd January 2012 0 Comments

With inset day at school Little A were able to enjoy an extra day off school. A bicycling trip to the nearby park was quickly postponed with the stormy weather outside (haul as we speak!) so she's chosen to seek shelter in her giant card board castle instead. The gorgeous castle, bought at the lovely Aravore shop in Crouch End, can be painted and decorated after taste and imagination -and of...

December in London

Scandinavian mum 30th December 2011 0 Comments

It's been an unusual mild December, compared to our previous years in the capital. With 12 degrees plus, flowers blooming and birds singing it's very little that's reminded us of December. We hope January will bring us some minus degrees, lots of twirling magical snowflakes and a bit of winter joy. Until then... Little A doesn't necessarily choose the simplest routes when out & about. Snug and...

Scandinavian mum 15th December 2011 1 Comment

Ice wind and non uniform day and Little A could happily wear her beloved MOLO Kids Fleece from Sparkle & Spin to school.

Perfect for Winter walks in the park, it's cosy, warm and funky, who could ask for more?" Little A was...

Little A’s best pancake recipe

Scandinavian mum 18th November 2011 0 Comments

Little A was home from school last week, with a cold. When she wasn't busy cuddling up in the sofa with a book she was making her favourite dish, yummy vanilla pancakes. It's lovely to see how much fun she had in the kitchen! And the self confidence they gain with it -When serving the yummy lunch she proudly proclaimed she wanted to write a cook book!

Little B’s celebrating her first decade!

Scandinavian mum 25th October 2011 9 Comments

Or so she told me before going to bed... It makes those 10 years sound even more unbelievable. We are planning to wake our Birthday girl up with song, cake and presents, followed by a nice family breakfast. The day is still fairly open, but exploring London together and enjoying Half Term is definitely on. Then a nice meal out in London City. Any recommendations are more than welcome, but Little...
