Beautiful winter sunrise over the harbour in the Swedish archipelago 🤍🌞

This video is taken just outside my childhood home on the island Styrsö, just outside of Gothenburg on the Swedish west coast and it’s one of my favourite spots to watch the sunrise/ sunset 🌅

🎄 Getting into the festive spirit 🎄

When I was a kid, going to the amusement park @lisebergab in Gothenburg was one of the highlights each year, so I was so excited to take my daughter for the first time this winter.

During the holiday season, the park becomes a winter wonderland with Christmas markets, ice skating, and millions of lights. ✨❄️

Enjoy a cup of mulled wine, go on one of the rides, have a go at ice skating and visit Father Christmas and his elves in his workshop. (And the iconic Liseberg bunnies that walk around in the park and are always offering up hugs!) 🐰

Sometimes you have to improvise 😅

We always arrive at the airport early to get as much play time as possible before the flight, so when the play area was closed as we flew to Sweden this week, we had to find another way to entertain our daughter!

Luckily the airport staff were very kind and let us play with some wheelchairs that weren’t being used 🦽

✨ Shere magic ✨

If you’re a fan of the classic Christmas movie the Holiday, then what better way to get into the festive spirit than by visiting the village where the movie was filmed?

This quintessentially English village is located right outside Guildford, only 1 hour from London.

Stroll past cute little cottages, go for a countryside walk in the hills and of course, no visit is complete without a drink at the famous pub The White Horse, where Amanda and Graham share their first date 💖

There’s also a playground next to the car park in the centre, perfect for little ones to have a play before/after a day of exploring!

📍Shere, Surrey

🕯️Happy Lucia Day! 🕯️

Being one of my favourite Nordic traditions, I was so excited to take my husband and daughter to their first Lucia procession 💛

If you are not familiar with Lucia Day, it honours Saint Lucia, a Christian martyr known for her generosity. The procession is led by Lucia, dressed in white with a red sash and a crown of candles, symbolising light in winter’s darkness.

The procession sings traditional Lucia and Christmas songs, and afterwards, people get together for saffron buns (lussekatter), ginger bread biscuits and mulled wine ☕️

Anyone else..? 🙈

In all seriousness though, if I could only share one travel hack for travelling with kids, it would be this one! 👆

We use an XL pram bag whenever we go on holiday and it’s the perfect place to put that extra pack of nappies, some extra clothes, or a beach tent…

You might have a few more things to take through security if you’re gate checking your pram, but hey, it’s worth it! 🙌

Planning our Christmas trip to Sweden has me dreaming of Swedish summer 💛💙

Swedish summer will always mean childhood to me, and although my daughter is growing up in the UK, I’m determined to make it her childhood too ✨

If Sweden is not on your bucket list yet it should be! 🇸🇪

🎄❤️ Christmas in London ❤️🎄

Yesterday I took Malva into London to see the Christmas lights for the first time! She had a great time and I loved watching her face light up (pun intended) as we walked around ✨

Definitely feels like she is so much more aware this year, and I find myself wanting to do all things Christmas with her… and it’s not even December yet?! 🎅

Is it too early to do Christmas things?

On Sunday, my little girl turns 2. It is both exciting and terrifying - it feels like time is slipping away, and at the same time I love watching her grow and learn.

I’m so grateful for all the special moments I get to share with her. She might not remember this time, but I will carry these memories with me forever. ❤️

We went on a beautiful autumn walk in the woods this morning, watching the sun melt the frost away, all the trees gorgeously yellow and orange 🍂🧡

I feel like the older I get, the more I’m loving autumn… anyone else? 🍁

In case anyone was fooled by the Albania footage of my serene waterfall swimming - it was VERY cold 😅🥶

Definitely not swim-friendly for toddlers, but Malva loved the short hike there and running around in the grass next to the waterfall!

If you’re planning a trip to Albania - make sure to include this spot on your itinerary!

📍Bogove Waterfall, Albania
