Soon, soon it’s time for us to hit the road and head for France and back. I’m really looking forward to our trip as I haven’t been abroad for ages! It’s especially exciting as it’s Little A’s first proper trip abroad. Now the question is how to prepare for three weeks away from home. I…
Are you looking for a cozy day trip in the Stockholm area? A place where you can dip your toes into the sea and enjoy delicious ice cream? There are several small towns near the Swedish capital Stockholm that are worth a visit. Vaxholm is one of these towns and it is located on an island…
Hello August! You know what that means, don’t you? It’s time to summarize July 2017. It was a really nice month, in retrospective I’d say that we didn’t spend much time at home at all. I’ll remember July 2017 for the all great the family time and the sunny days My reading challenge is going really…
Today we saw a small portion of Swedish history when we walked to Lundby and the rune stone in Sund. We have been spending the weekend with my parents in Vagnhärad and for once we have been quite lucky with the weather. The sun has been shining more than usual, at least compared to the…
Time flies this time of the year and we are struggling to find time for everything we want to do. We spent the last weekend on Åland. Well, Susann and little A took the ferry from Kapellskär already the weekend earlier. I joined them at her parents’ house on Wednesday evening. My parents joined us…
When you are on the ferry crossing the Baltic Sea, there is one particular object that tells you that you will soon be in Mariehamn. On the first islets that catch your attention, one of the very first glimpses of land, there is a house and a small pyramid. What you see is Kobba Klintar, an…

Today we tell you about the sawmill in Lumparland – the smallest municipality on mainland Åland. In the forest, at Krickulla near Lumparby, you will find…
Hello from the Åland Islands. Little A and I are abroad again. How are you? Rain and thunder are the words that best describe today. As I love lists, I decided to write a short (but happy) list of life right now – a Monday evening. (I started writing this last night, now it’s Tuesday…
Today I want to talk about Google Earth and also share some tips with you. It’s a tool that I use a lot and it’s essential when we look back at and document our trips. If you travel a lot, it is probably nice to be able to view a map of all the places…
It sometimes happens that you write a plan. A plan that you consider to be really good. A plan that you, later on, make even better by completely remaking it. That is kind of what happened with the plan for our “Journey to France and Back” We were really satisfied with it and now we…
About ten weeks ago we became parents. I think most parents can relate to the fact that the change is immense, and our lives feel very different now. As I write this, Little A peacefully sleeps next to me and little does she know what we have in store for her. If it’s up to…
Hello, friends! Here I sit with a cup of cold coffee and it’s about time to write a short summary for June. It’s so strange. You’d think that there’d be more time over when you spend most of your day at home. Wrong! I go to bed the same time as before and wake up earlier….
