Bling Bling

Dear Santa: I really wouldn't mind some proper iPhone bling under my Christmas tree this year. Or any other bling, for that matter!

Off To Playschool...

... snug as a bug!

Disney Darlings

How can you not just HEART the Alba-Warrens?! They truly must be one of the sweetest families in Hollywood. And this weekend the cute foursome was spotted out and about again, this time paying a visit to Disneyland. Honor looked to be in utter heaven, as I imagine every 3-year old must feel when brought to The Happiest Place On Earth. And as for little Haven, all snug in her mamas arms, I am sure she thought it was all pretty awesome too!

United Bakeries...

... is the perfect place for a little family outing on a frosty Sunday morning. Frothy lattes. Triple chocolate scones. Buzzing with happy holiday shoppers. Cold hands. Red cheeks. Twinkling fairy lights. It's all good!

A Perfectly Acceptable Way...

... to spend a Sunday evening if you ask me! Although; not anywhere nearly as good as the book it should be said.

Art Factory

Nahla has discovered painting. Which, you know, in some ways are great. I love the fact that she dabbles in all things creative and artistic, bless her little socks. And as her mother I totally think it is the cutest thing ever when she sits in her high chair, bent over her latest creation, little tongue eagerly sticking out of her mouth.

But, you see, it ain't all cute, Especially after I discovered paint on her brand new Odd Molly dress. Paint on the rug. Paint on Igglepiggle. Paint in her hair. (Note: This would not be such a disaster had it not been for the fact that Nahla HATES washing her hair. I mean; HATE. It sounds like she is being murdered slowly whenever I try to as-carefully-as-possible rinse out the ultra-mega-mild shampoo. No more tears my backside!) I can go on: Paint on our vintage and oh-so-beautiful old dining table. Paint on the side of the washing machine (a mystery, I know!)

And so yeah; as a mother I clearly think my little artist is the most talented thing to ever have come out of preschool. Goes without saying. On the other hand, my slightly obsessive compulsive side, who NEEDS to have a home that looks like it is about to grace the pages of Elle Decoration, is a tad more apprehensive. As one would understand. It was the smear of bright red (why, oh why did I let her paint with such an unforgiving colour?!) paint on my new Filippa K boots that did tipped me over the edge, I think. From now on, any painting done in this household will happen prison-style under extreme supervision...

1st Sunday Of Advent...

... is always celebrated by lighting the very first of your four advent candles. The official start of the holiday season. My absolute favorite time of year. Roll on snow, winter, joy, love, family, frost, mulled wine, sparkly dresses, baubles, Christmas trees, reindeers, hot chocolate, holiday food, gingerbread cookies, eggnog, presents, fairy lights and FUN!

23 Months Ago...

.... you arrived. And taught me what life really is all about.

Time Flies...

... and little Emine Sofie, who, really, we feel like was only born like yesterday, is already 14 1/2 months and very quickly learning the odd trick from her cousin Nahla.
