Only 4 Sleeps until Christmas
Feeling cosy inside as the outside is covered with snow. Our tree still gives a fresh pine smell into the house and I’m feeling inspired my deep and rich colours the closer we get to Christmas. I have no idea how I will set the table for Christmas Day, but I’m thinking a tables cape…

Winter Apple cocktail
This winter cocktail is something that came to me while I was making some homemade apple juice glögi (mulled wine we drink in nordic countries).

This maple latte also makes a great afternoon pick-me-up if you have a little sweet tooth craving and elevates your cappuccino in a matter…

Christmas Pomegranate Pavlova
‘cosy candlelight mornings & early hour baking of a Pomegranate Pavlova’ A traditional pavlova really sets the mood during Christmas time, so I decided to whip one up for this Sunday. For the past few weeks my hubby and I have been had a nasty stomach bug, which has drained our energy to the maximum with a baby…

Time for a Christmas tree.
‘Picking up our first Christmas tree as a little family’ Our annual trip to pick up the Christmas tree is finally here, that we did on the first advent which means, only four more Sundays until Christmas. This time our trip to the organic tree farm felt that much more special as we picked the…

Our traditional morning with hubby started really early with a cup of coffee in bed and opening up presents between us with “home alone” Christmas music playing in the background. We spent the…
