When we heal the Earth, we heal ourselves.
I didn’t really expect to be attending any festivals this year. But when some friends took the initiative for a festival in one of the local valleys, we just had to be part of it! The concept and the location are stunning and amazing: a Troll Festival! Set in the beautiful valley Isterdalen by Trollstigen …
Camping with a newborn can seem like a bit of a challenge, but I want you to know it can actually be a wonderful experience, not that much more stressful than staying at home. But let’s be fair, I must admit we ended up more like glamping than camping 😉 Remember, the baby just need …

Here’s a little throwback for you! This year I’ve not been able to go skiing, both because of our little baby, because of lack of snow and because we’ve been so busy. This will change tomorrow, as we are about to pick up a baby sleigh for cross country skiing! We call it a “pulk” …

Decided to go for a hike in the mountains close to home, and at the same time look for some mushrooms. It was a satisfying catch, allthough I didn’t document it. Our gorgeous friend Marina Aurora joined us and we had a great time. We got the oppurtunity to study some new species as well. …
For noen mÃ¥neder siden besøkte vi Kama Sofie i Oslo. Vi bor noksÃ¥ langt fra hver andre, sÃ¥ det er ikke sÃ¥ ofte vi sees. Vi benyttet sjansen til Ã¥ vandre rundt i den lokale skogen, som viste seg Ã¥ være overraskende grønn og frodig, med mange forskjellige arter. Vi vandret gjennom skogen og langs …
