Happy 8th Birthday to my sweet Oona! It's hard to put into words how much I love this goofy, ginger pup. From her clumsy steps to the silly way she curls up (often butt up first before settling) and falls asleep in my arms, Oona has...
In autumn, the first thing I do after waking up is peeking outside. What's the weather like? If it's raining cats and dogs, I pull the blanket back up and take it easy. No rushing on rainy days :-) When it's sunny, I will probably be lured...
It feels like only yesterday we had endless light...
Hello friends! I hope you're all well and enjoying your summer. Any dogs getting doggy ice cream? We're mostly cooling down by jumping in the lake- well, Oona and Mogwai do. It has never been hot enough for Lizzie to seek anything else but a short snooze...
The weather report promises rain and barely 17*C, but summer is a feeling, right? Despite hot days and bright light, that summer feeling didn't land here for the last few weeks. Instead, we went through all the worries and stress that come with an unexpected rollercoaster...

I had a fun summer side quest in mind, but as Mogwai was recovering from thyroid surgery and it was raining again, I sat down at the kitchen table and started experimenting with Lego printmaking. The plan: Create a design with Lego dots or tiles on...
How is your spring going? It seems like we're either having super hot days or almost getting washed away by heavy rainfalls. For getting my work done (and letting my sprained ankle rest), it's great but we're 100% ready for some summer fun! I'm looking forward...
Spring arrives late here up north. For a while, the changing seasons are just winter with more light, but slowly, as the snow disappears, the earth comes back to life. We’ll spot the first snowdrops and colorful crocuses, but in the next few weeks, there is...
We're longing for warmer days, for feeling the sunlight and eating ice cream. But at the same time, this is such an incredible time for long hikes and exploring. The cold days between winter and the start of a real spring, we love them! The snow on...
