Nahla And Mummy...

... clearly share a love of on-trend accessories. Ugly Betty would be so proud!

Colour Boost

I have decided (after spending all of alst night editing my wardrobe) that I need some more colour and pattern in my life. Really; it is amazing just how much livlier and fun your look can get when you inject a bit of fun into your clothes. I totally love both this cardigan (which I know is from H&M, but unfortunately from a couple of years ago) and these pants (I NEED them!, and think they would mix and match so well with stuff I already have hanging in my (slighly gigantic) wardrobe. Hm.. Maybe I should take the opportunity of Nahla being up north with my parents until Thursday to go shopping. You now, just a little....

iPads...

... are my favorite new toy!

Blissful Sunday Mornings...

... spent with family makes everything else secondary. Happy 2nd Sunday of Advent!

Wrapping A Mountain Of Christmas Presents...

... takes twice as long when done with a toddler helping out. Another lesson learnt.

Saturday Mornings...

... are perfect when spent slowly drinking a cup of chai tea, reading a stack of new magazines and watching your munchkin play with her doting grandparents! BLISS!

Oh, How I Love...

... café lunches with gorgeous salad and yummy fresh orange juice! Hello, Friday!

These Strange Creatures...

... have moved into our house. In her advent calendar present, which off course started yesterday as it was December 1st., Nahla got these two stick dolls, Knerten and his wife Caroline, who are characters from a popular Norwegian children's book, recently made into a film.
And since their arrival in our house they have been carted carefully around, sat at the table with us for dinner and even camped in bed with us last night. (As Nahla was allowed a sleeping-in-Mummy's-bed treat. Also a bit of a treat for Mummy, it must be said. I mean; it is anything nicer than snuggling into your warm sweet toddler on cold winter nights?!) Anyway, Knerten and Caroline shared a bed with us last night, and it makes me wonder just what they got up to, because...


... this morning (in Nahla's second advent calendar present) their little bundle, Lille Knerten, arrived! Caroline sure got her figure back quickly, no?! I mean; look at those scrawny hips!

Nearly Ready...

... for my work Christmas party next week! YEAH!

Getting In The Holiday Spirit

A glass of mulled wine and my two favorite movies of all time = utter Christmas bliss! I mean; it IS December 1st!
