Here's a little thing I wrote for the MS Society

This picture is from a typical morning in our half term. We're relaxing together and that is also what you can call 'hygge'!

You can read it right here!

I grew up with 'hygge' so it is a little difficult to explain. But 'hygge' can be a big thing or little thing. It's different from person to person. A quiet slow lazy morning like on a Sunday or like we had in half term is 'hygge' for me.
Dinner with family (we just had Uncle, Aunty and little baby Cousin visiting from England and staying 4 days) where we played Chinese Whispers is 'hygge' too!
I could mention more things but I think you get it.

We said goodbye to Uncle, Aunty and baby Cousin yesterday morning. Luckily we see them already again at Christmas. Yeah, Christmas which also is 'hygge'.

Road Trip

Some of the music we listened to going to Germany and back on Friday. The kids had nowhere to run and ended up liking most of mummy and daddy's playlist.

Friday, the daddy had the day off and we all went to Germany. We live only an hour away and on a rainy day it was a nice thing to do. Also we're still so amazed with our new car that a longish drive is a bit of a treat. We finally got a car with automatic gear and it's a dream to drive with. Especially for me with my constant-pins-and-needles-feet and my heavy left leg. Not that I got to drive eiher way though. The hubby thought it was best he drove. I have the car every day so he dosen't get to drive it much. So I let him drive of course... no need for tantrums.

We had a great little road trip and have been relaxing the rest of the weekend. Tomorrow it's back to school again. Everyday life is back. Well, nearly because on Tuesday Uncle D, Aunty E and baby I. arrive. They're staying until Saturday. We're all very excited.

This is my treat I brought back from our little road trip. I love the jar!

Something like 5000 children and their computers.

All sitting side by side playing games. There was like real gamers/youtubers there too. It's called a LAN Party - the little man and daddy learned.

They spent a good 3 hours there last Saturday. There were things to try such as virtual reality glasses. Both the little man and daddy tried them. The daddy wasn't too keen and took the glasses off quickly. The little man also spent some of his pocket money. He's a Pokemon hunter and a cap was needed for that.

The little man and his Pikachu.

Meanwhile the princess, her friend and I went shopping. We walked, or the girls did, I was on my little mini scooter. We went from shop to shop and were ready to go by the time the daddy called and asked us to come pick them up. A tired little man and 2 tired girls sat quietly in the back of the car on the way home.

Now it's already Friday. Where did the week go? We're of to Germany for a day trip today. We only live an hour away from the border.

Have a lovely Friday everyone.

Oooops! Once again it's been a while.

There we all are. Ready to go to a wedding. 

Only 3 weeks after we came home from our Summer holiday in England, Holland and Germany we flew back to England for a wedding. We were only there 3 days because schools were about to start up again in Denmark. The wedding was amazing. It was lovely to see the family again especially our little new niece/cousin.

The princess and the little man thought their little cousin had grown already.

I thought so too and it was hard leaving again after only 3 days. But now there's only a week until we see her again. This time she will have grown a lot. From mid August to the end of October will be how long we haven't seen her. Well, we've seen her on Skype but that's not quite the same. We are very excited.

At the moment it's half term here in Denmark and we're relaxing. Today these 2 had a haircut and that's about all we did today!

Pre-haircut photo! They were not up for an after-haircut photo. A lot came off both though and they both look really nice.

4 cousins

Here they all are. One nearly 11, another nearly 9, one just 8 and they littlest only 5 weeks old. The bigger ones love their new little cousin. And she is soooo cute. We have just been in England visiting family and spending time with our new little cousin. Here in Denmark school holiday started the 24th of June so we left right away to go to England. 11 days we've spent there mainly with the family but we have also seen friends, been to London and Milton Keynes. On our way back to Denmark we spent 3 days in Holland swimming, shopping and relaxing. We're now back home and still enjoying holiday time. The daddy doesn't go back to work until Monday. Here is lots of photos from our holiday.

Scheveningen in Holland. We took a picture like this four yeas ago too when we were there

Our little new cousin - my little niece

On the picture she's holding on tight to her daddy's finger.

She arrived a week ago and I can't wait for it to be my finger she holds on to. We arrive in England the 25th June so still a few weeks before we get there. Luckily we can Skybe and the proud parents sends us lots of pictures. We actually saw her when she was an hour old. Amazing and all thanks to the internet!

I've bought and made a lot of things for our little cousin/niece already and I'm sure I will find more before we get there in the end of June.
