Winter has come to the Gold Coast

June 14, 2021

Gone are the days when I used to think in “writing”, as in I imagined how I would write about what I am experiencing right now. I have had a notepad full of expressions and I was never afraid to take out one of my seventeen Moleskine diaries that I was using at the moment. It’s a forever love though.…

What I would love for my daughter

June 9, 2021

I would love for her to study because she wants the knowledge not the degree. I would love for her to go into a field of work because she is genuinely interested in it and wants to make a difference rather than because it’s where she will make the most money. I would like her to judge people based on…

2021 – the year of the Whale

April 5, 2021

I am well aware there are women in this world who love being pregnant. Women that are in “awe of what their body can do’’. I know there are women in this world that are more beautiful when bearing children. There’s a scene in the Modern Family when Phil is looking at pregnant Gloria (Sofia Vergara) and says: ”I finally…

Sleep training for cuddly babies

March 16, 2021

Me and Lukas are big on cuddles. I am not saying it just to make you gag, I am saying this because just a few weeks back, after we had a massive fuddle (family cuddle), I told Lukas: isn’t funny how two people that love to cuddle more than anything made a child who loves the same? Lukas was like:…

Reusable nappies in a nutshell

February 7, 2021

I have received a lot of questions (ok, four girls asked me) regarding reusable nappies, so I really wanted to put a “how to” guide together and show what’s been working for us. We are both working full time and barely have time for anything. So we had to step away from some things that we were doing in the…

Negative vibes allowed

December 19, 2020

I totally want to write a blog about how 2020 has been eye opening and how it allowed me to search in my soul and see a completely different perspective of life. Of course I managed to meditate all the way through it and am a better person for it. Well… not really. I am here to tell you that…

Head over heels compromising

October 3, 2020

I have lost three debit cards in three weeks. One I have found. In a pocket of my puffer jacket that I forgot at work. I have also lost my new earphones. I have ordered new ones and immediately found the first pair in a pocket of my pants. I finally remembered to bring my keep cup to work. I…

Low waste and sustainable parenting

August 19, 2020

Low waste – meaning low waste for us, which is nowhere near perfect. Sustainable – meaning we can sustain it everyday without driving ourselves crazy. I have always led a somehow minimalistic lifestyle even before the word minimalistic was used in this sense. As a child my real hobby was to take all the things I owned from my room…

Can women have it all?

July 2, 2020

Am I really going to tackle such a broad topic in a short blog post? No probably not. I also cannot speak for all the women. Just this one. Me. Slightly lost, yogi, blonde who is obsessed with healthy food. This privileged white girl from a good family with decent education from one of the world’s oldest universities on the…

Parenthood, vanity and the environment

June 26, 2019

I was walking in the park and the old song Life from Desree came up and I felt like skipping and dance walking so I did, after a cautious glance over my shoulder. Boy why have we created so many restrictions for ourselves? The other day we went to the beach with Lisa and Sagababy and she was just exhibiting…
