It's our third summer in Österlen in a row. And our fourth time there. We love it but two times out of four we had very nasty weather. And this time was one of them. But we didn't let ourselves down by it. We embraced the beautifulness in every conditions:

You know when you take so many pictures during the summer and you just don't know what to do with them all? Well, lucky me, I have a blog! and lucky you, reader, you will be able to see all of the places we have been to this summer!

Not just stuff to do, places to visit. But also some visual aesthetics that I met along the way. Snipets of our summer, moments of bliss. We spent quite a lot of times in Örebro where Pelle's family is. So part 1 is from our stay there:

Rusakulan: A must see in the Örebro region.

September 7, 2019

I have been going to Örebro and around for almost 17 years but apparently I have still a lot to discover around that city! One of Pelle's sister mentioned the possibility of going up a hill to a view point called Rusakulan ( Örebro is in a flat region) to have a fika, I got super excited:

One we like for the summer 2019

August 2, 2019

I have shown you the brand one we like before. Because i like them, I like their sustainability and their look, I follow most seasons. I did several posts that you can find here, here and here. Oh and here too. This time, I thought why not show you the spring summer season, it's a really cool one.

Monthly portraits of my kids in 2019 - five

June 12, 2019

It was May and it was Peony seasons just starting so I couldn't not do it again. Remember my peony together portraits from last year? Well, they were for June. I posted them in July (so late too) and talked about creativity and social media drought. I don't understand why, but it seems it happen again this year at more or less the same time.

Mini pavlovas with red fruits and nuts

April 1, 2019

I have been wanting to try pavlovas/meringues for a long time but never dared. Then I saw these mini pavlovas and thought "that I can do". I didn't have any gooseberries so I made my own recipe with red fruits:

Wildling shoes : ethical, sustainable and beautiful ss19

March 26, 2019

I had the great chance to collaborate again with Wildling shoes. A shoe brand I talked to you about for the first time last year already. Since, my kids have been able to test their winter collection. I showed it on instagram on my highlights but also here, here and here.

And now their new spring collection. This time, I also got a pair, so I can fully pledged that these are amazingly comfortable, light and great to wear indoors and outdoors:

Lily portrait bath attempt

Lily's flower (heart) bath - attempt number 2

March 8, 2019

Remember attempt number one? well, one might say it was a while ago. It was exactly a year! A few weeks ago, around Valentine, Instagram had it's week-end hashtag theme on love. And I created these bath photos for it. And I posted one there then!

I thought it was interesting to see them all in a blog post. And now, I'm still contemplating doing a proper flower one soon. But maybe not with Lily! Meanwhile, here are the ones with the two sets of hearts I took that day:

Buckwheat chocolate and salt cookies

February 19, 2019

Guys, I'm on a cake/cookies recipe spree it seems. If you missed it, the last one was a gluten free earl grey cake recipe. However, next post will not be one I promise!

I stumbled upon this cookies recipe on Pinterest quite a while ago. And for some reasons, I kept it aside for a while. As until now I never really knew how to change normal wheat to Gluten free wheat, but now I know a little better, so I just changed it slightly and it's still super delicious!

Warning: it's only Gluten free, not vegan as there is butter and a little vanilla ice cream on top at the end but if you know how to replace one or the other, just do it:
