I am going to be a MIDWIFE

If I could do it all over again Have you ever started a sentence with those words? I have done so many times. Eventually James maybe got a bit tired of it and asked me “well why can’t you?” I had my excuses such as “we have kids now”, “it is too hard”, “I am …

Silas’s Birth Story

Just like that our little baby is one.  My blog has mostly been hibernating during Silas’s first year with the exception of a few drafts that I have written down.  But now is as good a time as any to get back into it and what better post to share than Silas’s birth story which …

A Time To Remember

I recommend everyone to have a maternity photoshoot done and generally to take many pictures during your pregnancy.  Your children will love to see how your body grew them on the inside! These 9 months will change your life for ever.  They might both feel like they are going by very fast and very slow.  …

Cinnamon Cookies

Creamy Carrot soup

I love carrot and coriander soup, I love most soups really, but this one is a favourite all year round!  When it comes to cooking I want my food to have a lot of flavour and this soup really does.  The ground cumin, chopped tomatoes and cream make it such a delicious soup.  I always …

Gonna be a family of four

Already before JJ was born we knew, that we wished to have two children close in age.  I grew up with my little sister who was only 18 months younger than me and just like all siblings we have had ups and downs, but the ups have without a doubt made a bigger impact on …

Faroese Summer 2017

It has been a while since I posted on the blog, the summer has mostly been spent away in the Faroe Islands, where we got up to everything and nothing.  It was just such a lovely time.  Somehow the summer came and went in an instant, now that the autumn is knocking on the door …

Birthday fun and wildlife park

We have so many lovely people in our lives and seeing so many of them gather with us to celebrate JJ turning two was amazing.  Having the party over two days was great as it gave us much more time with the guests, a good excuse to eat a bit more cake and most importantly, …
