COLOR OF SUMMER

pink + orange
my favorite
lack of words
my brain is on holiday
feels good

{ LOVE }

ACAPULCO CHAIR LOVE

I wish I had these in my garden
Or in my living room
Or in my summerhouse (one day)
Or
Where ever

I never sat in one
I do not know how they feel
Comfortable or not

To be honest
I do not care

All I know is
Just looking at one
Would do it for me

I wish

{ LOVE }

WHO IS THIS?

I named him Bølle
He´s eating up my plants
Only one kind
Luckily

Problem
He has a lot of friends
Or a big family
Hundreds!

I do not like worms
Especially not white ones

DINNER IS SERVED

Our dinner yesterday
Nothing fancy
Hot dogs
Homemade mashed potatoes
Salad; rucula, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, balsamico + parmesan

What I wanted to show you
My new light green bowls from Figgio
My favorite green

{ LOVE }

WORK IN PROGRESS

We are getting bigger
Not the family
The house

More rooms
Safe staircase
I´ve falled down the old one
Twice
Fainted both times
How clumsy

That means that the hall is getting larger
Ahh...
Can´t wait
Proper wardrobe for all our jackets and shoes

I´ll show you more
When more is done

Have a wonderful day

{ LOVE }

UPDATE & TEASER

40 000 readers
I think it´s to wonderful
After two months exactly
I´m lucky!

Your feedback
Your sweet words
I read them over again when I feel down
Not that it happens a lot
But kind words can never be read to often
Right?

OUR TURKISH SUMMER

Or should I say Ving-summer

{ S M I L E }

The whole family
My Mom & Dad invited my sister and myself,
with husband and kids to Turkey
A warm wonderful country
A bit of Europe
A bit of Asia

Days by the pool
Big family dinners every day
Great shows to late night

A trip to Side and Apollo Temple
Mathea who now knows how to read did her job

{ S M I L E }

Now, home again
And it´s summer!!
Warm & sunny summer
(we are not spoiled with that here in Norway)
Lucky me
I´m a teacher
7 weeks off
Ahhh...

{ SUMMER KISSES }

Just perfect for 30 kr

SUMMER INSIDE

It used to look like this
I like the new style

Wonder what I think in two months

MY WISH LIST

Hi
Hope you are doing well
I´m fine

{ S M I L E }

I´m back after one week holiday
The hole family has been in Turkey
My Mom & Dad
My sister and her family
And mine

We had some lazy days by the pool
Well
Lazy is to exaggerate
With five kids from the age from one to ten there is never a dull moment
We had some wonderful and memorable days
Thank you M & P!

And while I was away Lana Lou Style had a post about my wish list

Now I´m of to pack some boxes
The house is getting bigger
The carpenter is coming tomorrow
I have to clear the way

Thank you for all your comments and questions
You are all so sweet!
I will answer you as fast as I can

And as a last word
by Fryd 2 is in progress

{ L O V E }

NORWEGIAN SUMMER

I´m ready for days off
Eating strawberries
Lazy days on the porch
Smell of sunscreen
Happy kids
My best vacation
At home
In my garden
Barefoot

6. I´m 178 cm tall
7. I love shopping and fashion
8. When I got married to G, I never got my wedding dress!
