In the end, I decided to do a year in review like I did last year and the year before, just to have an overview, a little round up and start fresh for 2020. Good way to share memories and see how quickly time goes. Also a nice way to see that when I think I haven't done much, it's maybe not so true.
Another year full of recipes, tips, inspiration and portraits. It's also the year I started working with my new camera for the first time, can you see the difference in style?:
January 2019
I started the new year with a little cheery post on how to use flowers to fight winter gloom. Still valid right now as it's January ;)
And of course used also flowers for the monthly portraits of the kids.
February 2019
In February, I gave you the possibility to fight winter gloom with sugar apparently as I shared two gluten free recipes: First a gluten free early grey cake.
And a recipe for buckwheat chocolate and salt cookies with vanilla ice cream:
Portraits of my kids were a bit late I think but they were the first sign of sunshine:
March 2019
Lily portrait bath attempt
I did my second attempt at bath pics. Getting better at it I think. Third attempt to come soon!
There was also a collaboration with Wildling shoes again, the spring version of it:
Portraits were late again? Oh dear. That was a pattern this year I'm afraid!
April 2019:
I first shared another recipe of something sweet. Maybe I should do more savoury things? Those mini pavlovas with red fruits and nuts were delicious though:
And the portraits of April were posted in May it seems. I can correct it again in the yearly review, that's quite good! It was from that brilliant New York, Canada trip, that's why!

May 2019
Then it seems I had a little creativity break in those spring month as I only published my monthly portraits. That's odd. It should be the rebirth of it. May reflect on that for this year...
June 2019
And that's the June portraits then...
July 2019
I did a collaboration with One we Like, a brand for kids I really love:
And of course published the July Portraits:
August 2019
I started to be a little more prolific in August and September. But first the portraits. Those are varied at least if you go look at them:
And showed you a nice place I didn't know existed near my husband's birth place, Rusakulan:
September 2019
I did a review of the summer in Sweden in three different blog posts. I really posted them in October, but let's pretend I posted the first one in September. It was about our stay in Örebro:
And here are the September portraits of course:
October 2019
The second part of our Sweden trip was in Österlen:
And the third part was about our stay in Malmö and my little escapade with Lily in Copenhagen:
And finally the October portraits:
November 2019:
And published the November portraits. Starting to slowly go back to portraits together because that's what we will do this year:
December 2019:
That's the month I was the most prolific this year. Is it because Christmas inspires me? Or is it because I was home bound following a foot operation? I hope it's the first bit because otherwise, the creative blocks I had in spring were probably due to a huge amount of work in my "other job"!
I first posted about a recipe of apple and pear galette I loved during the autumn from a blog that's the best for cake cooking, call me cupcake:
Then, I finally, finally edited my new york video and posted about our marvellous Easter trip:
And then I offered you some inspiration for a festive table. Valid for Christmas or New Year or any time you are having a party!
As I was on a roll, I also finally managed to do part four of our Sweden trip (and finishing my second video of the year): the summer edition of our Artipelag visits:
Aaaand, even if I published them in January, the December portraits to end this year in review:
I have to think and take lessons for this year! what do you think about it? I had some commercial work but much less individuals and private work. On the other hand, I don't show everything in my blog, I also had some very interesting barters I showed on instagram: portraits of Lucy and some work with Urban Grey Whale. Also I did some really cool work with Cherry Bandits.
Plus, I have my website coming up soon where you are going to see all of that. If you register on the page, you will be the first one to know when it's up and I have some surprise for the first ones who will register to my newsletter! Stay tuned and see you soon on both platform :)
Thank you for keeping up with me :)
