16 years with Oliver

Today is our baby's 16th birthday. I know I shouldn't be calling him a baby, but he will always be ours. Time flies when we are having fun! We love you, Oli!

Postcards from Montreal: the hopefully spring edition

Greetings from Blogland! 

This morning I decided to take a walk around Montreal's Little Italy. Yes, I needed a good coffee and, yes, I was feeling inspired to take some pictures.  Andreas is traveling for work so I was able to click away without annoying him 😉

So here are some pics from my day's walk ❤️

We made it!

It has been an incredibly long winter. First snow came unexpectedly at the very start of November and the last flurries hit Montreal last Tuesday. There was no break from the white stuff in between! Spring did not greet us with flowers and green grass but rather with grey slush and very cold mornings.

While it is still far from "coffee outside" weather, we seem to be on the right track and the smile is coming back to my face ;) We finally made it!

Hope you are all having a great weekend so far! xox

Hope on the horizon!

Another year older....

Happy 19th birthday, Nicklas!

We are so proud of the lovely young man that you have become. Wishing you all the very best for this next year of your life... may it be filled with love and happiness 💙

Reflections on 2025

Asides from 2025 being a but of a dumpster fire in general, there were good things that happened too.... and I am choosing to focus on that.

Good things included travels, time with family and friends, a good work opportunity,  good laughs and awesome memories. Hoping for the same in 2026 and wishing you all the very best in the new year!

We are in Sweden for the holidays (that will be another post- just warning you all) so looking forward to spending the evening with our boys and some of Andreas' childhood friends. Still jetlagged but feeling optimistic that we will make it to midnight. 

See you on the other side!

Lots of love from our family to yours xx

Happy 21st!

Today, Alexander turns 21 years old! I know that I say this often but time really does fly! Sometimes I look at him and am amazed at how fast that little baby and cookie-eating toddler boy turned into this grown man.... especially when Andreas and I haven't aged at all ;)

Happy birthday, sweetheart! We love you!

Postcards from Montreal- the too much freaking snow in November edition

Me again! 

Yes, every once in a while I get the sudden urge to visit this place... to say hi... to say that I am still around... and that I miss it here. I met quite a few very awesome people via this blog and I absolutely hesitate to give all those memories and opportunities for connection up. So I have come back to post some glimpses of Montreal life and our way too early snow storm! Yes, it is pretty but even nicer when you are far away, in some warm climate and just peaking in... so enjoy!

Even the snowman looks depressed ;)
