Sunset for Someone You Love

A beautiful Skåne sunset on my road trip I send with all my love to my husband. Whom would you give yours?

Sunset on the West Coast

There is a sunrise and sunset every day. They are for free. Don't miss too many of them.

Baby Steps to Big Dreams

When you look at the foot of a two-month old, how small it is, you may have hard time to believe it was even smaller! It even looked differently. Babies don't think whether something is good, or risky, or hard. They try. They develop. They take their biggest steps when they are the smallest.

Baby Nest SleepyHead

At times, I want to share some ideas which are tried by myself and really liked. This one is a good way to start with. Not on all baby-subscriptions, though I think it should be! This one - the baby nest, by SleepyHead. Those creative Swedish designers seem to know the stuff!

Our baby used to sleep quite well from the very beginning even in his big cot-bed, and in the buggy (Bugaboo Cameleon 3 is well worthy its price). But Alexander just loved his baby nest SleepyHead since the day we bought it from John Lewis, London. It feels like a hug around all the time of sleep. Who is that silly baby who would resist to fall asleep being all hugged? No one ;)

And it appeared we have travelled a lot at his age of 2-4 months, and the SleepyHead just fits the big suitcase right put on the top of the clothes and other stuff. We have travelled number of times and visited three countries, and everywhere little Alexander had his own bed which was easy just to put onto any sofa or bed. How fun is that? All the SleepyHead!

Alexander is growing out of it now, and I am sure - this will be the thing we'll miss.

Check the Checked

Checked shirt and serious face - here comes the baby!

Play

Just a couple of shots that made my heart melt. It is never boring to watch a baby play and move!

Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

Little kids and babies together - is not the easiest task for taking a photo. But even that one could be accomplished, especially when two wonderful characters are present. So, Alexandra and Alexander are in focus.

Nap in Pappa's Sweater

My little one got tired while doing the photoshoot. But where else can he sleep better than in his dad's cosiest Polo Ralph Lauren sweater? So nice, so sweet and warm...

And with a good soft friend is even better.

Dad's sweater will definitely smell better by the time he comes back from work.

What can be better?

Naughty Baby

A few photos from one month old Alexander's photo shoot. Such a playful model that little fella is!

Christmas at Trafalgar Square

"I am a gift. So are you,
and I feel you blossom and sweet fruit.
I laugh, I weep, I wait in patience, 
I sing for the healing of all nations.
Dear creatures..."

This is one of the poems from Poetry Society's Look North More Often Project. It is written as a mutual effort of many children to celebrate the annual Christmas gift which comes from Norway. Each year since 1947, the city of Oslo send to London a Christmas tree as a symbol of Anglo-Norwegian friendship. This is to commemorate the British support during the World War II. The Norwegian  Christmas tree embellishes the central London point, Trafalgar Square.

This year, the spectacular Trafalgar Square has also become a home to the memorial to hero of the people's hearts across the world Nelson Mandela who has died on 5th of December 2014.

Third Sunday of Advent

Another week yet to wait for the Christmas, and one more December Sunday means one more Christmas candle to add to the cozy eve at home. Watching the play of light with Canon.

Christmas Market at the British Library

Not only for nerds. These December days, when various places across London host traditional Christmas markets, the British Library also opens it doors. With a little cute Christmas market outside...

Maybe, the British Library Christmas tree could have loads of books on it? ;)

The Christmas continues inside the library.

And for nerds, too!

A few micros on Christmas decorations, the latter ones always make my heart warm and bring the feelings of childhood.
