One more summer time in Artipelag

December 22, 2019

f you have been following me for some time, you know I have a thing for Artipelag. That little museum place in the Stockholm archipelago definitely has my heart.

We have been visiting every seasons and I think this was my latest post about it? No it was this one! Anyways, back to the summer, the first season we went there. And I made a film about it:

I'm ready to make more videos now! I did lots of video shooting over Christmas, I can't wait to edit it. Let's see when I will show it to you ;)

But I also took some pictures because I usual I want to keep the memories. And our time in Artipelag is always so good.

Summer in Sweden part 3: Malmö and Copenhagen

October 22, 2019

After our little trip to Österlen, we first spent a few days in Malmö at our favourite friends. And then as the weather was finally looking good. So I took Lily on a trip to Copenhagen for a couple of days before heading back to Brussels. All of this was amazing!

Summer in Sweden part 2: Österlen

October 9, 2019

It's our third summer in Österlen in a row. And our fourth time there. We love it but two times out of four we had very nasty weather. And this time was one of them. But we didn't let ourselves down by it. We embraced the beautifulness in every conditions:

Summer in Sweden part 1: Örebro

October 5, 2019

You know when you take so many pictures during the summer and you just don't know what to do with them all? Well, lucky me, I have a blog! and lucky you, reader, you will be able to see all of the places we have been to this summer!

Not just stuff to do, places to visit. But also some visual aesthetics that I met along the way. Snipets of our summer, moments of bliss. We spent quite a lot of times in Örebro where Pelle's family is. So part 1 is from our stay there:

Rusakulan: A must see in the Örebro region.

September 7, 2019

I have been going to Örebro and around for almost 17 years but apparently I have still a lot to discover around that city! One of Pelle's sister mentioned the possibility of going up a hill to a view point called Rusakulan ( Örebro is in a flat region) to have a fika, I got super excited:

Visit Österlen: some tips and pics

September 12, 2018

We spent four days in Österlen this year. It's a place we went to before, I wrote about it already on the blog. You can actually compare how I edited the pictures then and now, that's very interesting (to me at least , haha). We rented the coolest airbnb chosen by yours truly and my son. I really love that little bit of Sweden that is so different from the rest. If you are interested, here are some tips and pics of our stay:

Birthday week-end when Lily turned 9

June 3, 2017

Lily turned 9 not that long ago. As she didn't have many friends in her class, we decided to avoid trying to have a birthday party. But instead we would have a family week-end full of adventures: I was a bit heartbroken at first that she wouldn't have the usual friends big party. But then, this family/adventure week-end grew on us. And it was actually the greatest idea. She will probably remember it better than all of her previous parties!It started with a little trip to the sea before hitting the road. The water was much chillier than expected (especially because it was so hot in the air that day!)Then we went to our family in Örebro. It's a place I mentionned before because they have a great open art exhibition every two years. But it's also where Pelle's family lives and it was really good this year to be able to have more reunions with them!I ended up doing the Nigella's olive oil gluten free chocolate cake I was advised to do on instagram and it was quite nice with mascarpone and raspberries on top!Lily got a Ukulélé for her birthday as requested, played right away with it. Such happiness!It was such a beautiful week-end too!We drove to near Gothenburg from there to an amazingly beautiful hotel. Just a bit weird that it's in the middle of a golf course. But if you ignore that fact, you are in paradise! The rooms have a scandinavian style. With woodland and white design. And big window bays giving you a view to the forest:I'm pretty sure the woods have fairies there!The real birthday day was Sunday. We got a little cake and a candle for her and gave her some more presents:This includes that Bellerose dress she really liked!The aim of the trip was to go to Universum, a huge science center in Gothenburg that Lily really wanted to visit. On our way, there was a dandelion field and I had to stop to take some pics of course:Kids had a great time at Universum. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend it!And when we were on our way back to Stockholm, I got totally obsessed with Colza (Rapeseed) fields and thankfully we could stop at one of them so I could take pictures!Great end to a great birthday week-end! Overall, she was very happy about everything. And I'm sure she'll have much more memories of it. I think planning trips is one of the best present you can have. What do you think?

Open art in Örebro

September 30, 2015

Örebro isn't the place you would think of going to visit if you are spending some time in Sweden. Yet, if you have the luxury and the time, I would really recommend to go during the Open art days there.
