Happy Holidays and have a Peaceful Romjul
In Norway the week between Christmas and New Years Eve is called Romjul. In earlier centuries Norway celebrated Christmas from the 24th of December with Christmas eve to 6th of January and the Holy three Kings day. Romjul were the days from the Holy Christmas days until January 6th. The vikings used to call it rúmheilagr (“less holy holiday”) + jól (“Christmas”) in the old Norse...
Read moreLast minute handmade Christmas Gifts made easy!
Little B loves knitting and has already done blankets and scarfs. This morning she decided to make a handmade Christmas gift to a friend, highly inspired by the Maileg Mouse in a matchbox.

Walking to school
I feel so privileged, as I can walk through woodlands with my two daughters to School every morning, in the middle of London. And, today, sun rays met with the wet grass, the smell of green forest and the cool air surrounded us whilst the birds was singing in the trees whilst a duck family floated sleepy over the pond. And then, after having passed one road, the adventure trail ends by the sound...

Read moreGive your child the camera
It can be quite interesting to see the result after giving the camera to your child. We have actually handed down our outdated cameras to the girls and they love taking pictures. Mostly of their toys, their room and of each other. But now and then they end up taking pictures that I truly love and treasure. It's something about the angle it's taken from that makes it unusual. They also don't mind...
