life, week 18


windy, rainy day nap time location // while I enjoy the warmth of the burning wood stove and coffee


0820 am leopard wake up call // We decided to start sleep training Sverre plus try to quit nighttime breastfeeding too. It might be too much at the same time for this softhearted mamma, but luckily we are off to a good start. He did cry for a while last night when we put him to bed, but he slept through the night (hallelujah!). He fell asleep again after the 6 am feeding and we had to wake him up (I really hate having to wake up my baby) to get to dress up day in kindergarten and a garage appointment by 9 am. Fingers crossed for a repeat tonight!


Tuesday morning garage hang out


five mamas, five babies, goodies and coffee // barseltreff ftw


fresh from the oven // always the best


Ready for my first bike ride in a year. That means I have only used my bike once (now twice) since I got it. I blame being pregnant and then having a baby. 


First bike ride as a family of four, and a record for Sara - 13 km! So proud of her!


He is in the habit of napping for half an hour, three times a day. Just like his sister. 




I'm so glad she asks to bike to kindergarten instead of driving. I will always happily oblige to that.


Tickle! Tickle! Tickle!


baby steps // two minutes of hula hooping // #husmortrim


I love the fact that it is not yet completely dark by ten pm.


Saturday 7 am // the weather forecast says it will be 23 c later today // you are off to a good start, May


pale legs, don't care! // instant summer in early May // also: yay for early start of sandal season - last year I didn't wear sandals until the end of June


first time sitting on grass // not feeling it


9:20 pm red wine drinking view


She really likes her new socks.


I had a haircut and then I went shopping. Alone. I can't remember the last time I did that - shopping or shopping alone. I used to be mush more into shopping. Not so much anymore. But today I enjoyed it. Didn't buy the top. I liked it a lot though. 



I like our garden. A lot.


first meeting with 25 C and apparently he finds it too hot to settle for proper naps - fingers crossed nighttime will be better


escaping the heat


Sunday 8:30 pm // Apparently Stavanger was the hottest place in Norway today; 26,2 degrees Celsius - which is not normal for the beginning of May. We sure enjoyed this taste of summer, although our bodies got quite a shock of this very sudden heat.


the grilled corn is my favorite

Week 18: May 2-8

things I like lately

from the April film of the a roll of film a month project // Kodak Gold 200, Minolta SRT 101

- the fact that it is not yet completely dark at 10 pm
- Sverre has started to see the fun in peekaboo games
- a long weekend at Voss with family - it included the last skiing trip of the season and a celebration of my mother-in-law who recently turned 70
- seeing how much fun Sara had playing with her cousins again (they have been in Australia for six months)
- a pit stop at Dale for fika and play on our way home from Voss
- we have started sleep training and quit nighttime breastfeeding for Sverre, and so far it is going so much better than we could have dreamed of - it is a total game changer! (Fingers crossed that "this too shall pass" will not happen in a long time...)
- evenings are so much more pleasant now that I don't spend forever putting Sverre to bed (I use(d) to nurse him to sleep)
- the weather today has been absolutely gorgeous - and 19 degrees Celsius! Just two weeks ago we had snow. I love the weather contrasts in the transition from one season to the next.
- Molly's granola no 5 (with Greek yoghurt and honey) - I'm totally hooked
- chocolate - because of course
- I have an appointment at the hairdresser tomorrow - looking forward to have my hair trimmed plus a little bit of me time

- - -

Things I don't like lately

- duvets that are too short (I'm 181 cm tall; I need long duvets)

life, week 17


granola no 5 I love you


For some reason it has been a month since my last pram walk around the lake. I know it has been this long because I like to log my walks via Runkeeper - which also makes me stay in touch with all my running friends, including my husband. I love these walks! So why a whole month since the last one?! Life with a baby can be pretty unpredictable.
