When we heal the Earth, we heal ourselves.
Our baby girl was born the 8th of June at 1:35 in the night, the labor started at the same hour her brother was born (on his birthday the 7th). She is perfect and healthy, weighed 4525g and 53cm long. We have had some wonderful midsummer days and we are all happy and well! 🌸🌿💜 …
This weekend in late April I experienced one of the most magical and uplifting days of my life. Some of my friends decided to host a Mother Blessing for me! Most people have never heard about this before, but many are familiar with baby showers. This concept is an alternative to baby shower, where the …

When our baby was 4 months, we arranged a naming ceremony at our home and garden. In Norway literally everyone does have some kind of ceremony to welcome their newborn into the world. Most people do it in the form of a Christening at the church, and then they rent a space to hold a …
Didn’t take many days before we were out into the woods again, but now for the first time with our newborn baby. It was time to practice baby-wearing! I’ve always known I wanted to carry my baby, and not use a pram. And that’s definitely what my baby wanted as well. Before he was born …
