BABY´S FIRST 3 WHEELS

Last weekend Baby went from 4 wheels to 3, when he took his first trip in our Nihola bike. It´s a very Danish (or Copenhagen) thing, I guess, biking around the city, as I haven´t seen the concept anywhere else in the world - but as we do not have a car (and nor do we wish for one - EVER) a bike like this makes it possible to get around with our baby quick and for longer distances, much cheaper and convenient that with subway, train or bus. We love the freedom of the bike and the environment aspect of it is just one more bonus. The bike will follow us and Baby for many many years as it can be changed to fit his changing size and the trip last week was just the first of many many trips.

ART ?

Found this piano on my way yesterday ... wonder if there´s a pissed off pianist somewhere in my neighborhood ;-)

CARLSBERG

Some weeks ago we passed though Carlsberg on one of our many many trips with the pram - and we found this very cool (new?) "playground": a lot of ropes hanging from the ceiling. A dad and his son were playing there - pretending to be Tarzan (I bet) and it took me back to my childhood where I also loved swinging and climbing trees. I love the area around Carlsberg - there´s so much nice old stuff and then all the new - and the idea to do a play-field like this; which is both lots of fun and nice to look at, well that´s just brilliant.

BABY ART

In my family it´s custom for the man to give his girl a present when she gives birth to their baby. My dad gave my mother jewelry and so did my sisters boyfriend - but my boyfriende has already given me more jewelry than I want to wear; so he decided that maybe I am not so much a jewelry girls; as a picture girl (Does he know me or what !!!) - So like when I turned 30 (with Julie Nord) he contacted the artist; Helle Mardahl to purchase a print we wanted to buy some years ago, but for some practical reason did; and when we came home from the hospital, he gave me this fantastic picture. It has been packed away for the last month, as we had other things to thing of than how to frame or make it possible for it to hang. Boyfriende had asked the artist what she would suggest and she said: glue it on a metal plate; and so we did, using her frame-pusher (and my new one for sure) and yesterday we brought the darling home, and from tomorrow it will hang over our bed.

Me, I just bought a small drawing by a German guy called Tasek, which image I though would matched the new dad quite well: Super proud man !

SNOWTIME

It´s snowing these days - making everything more complicated - but damn it´s beautiful !

SMILE

Boyfriende started working the day before yesterday after 7 weeks home with me and this little guy - so things have changed a bit around here - but it´s still lots of fun; among other reasons because the little guy does more and more things; yesterday he smiled/laughed of a song/dance I did - and I can´t wait till he does it again ... yes, life for sure changes when you become parents.

SALE

Walking a lot, as I do these days, makes me "need" new shoes - and comfortable flat ones; so I added this blue military boot from Ann Demeulemeester to my collection of mummy-clothes. They were on sale; half price (and well on 50% Ann Demeulemeester is actually almost "cheap") on the Farfetch.com and came from a cool web-shop, which I had never heard of before, called Feathers. But thank God I found it; I will for sure check it of on a regular basis as its selection rocks ! - and well yes, as my baby does not like stores, web-shopping will be my new way of making sure I do not get too unfashionable mummy-like the next 6 months.

TOTOKAELO

These days I have a lot of time to surf the internet due to the many many hours of breastfeeding my "new" life includes - and one of the pages that gets my attention these days is TOTOKAELO. It´s actually a web shop; but as the shop is placed in America and buying stuff there would include Danish taxes - it´s not the shop which gets my full attention - but instead the blog which the shop is running. It´s a blog where they upload outfits made with the clothes they sell - and I looovvee it. The styles and the styling are very me; A.P.C, Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, Wood Wood, Hope, Martin Margiela etc. mixed all together and it´s always wonderful with outfit inspiration - not that I need it much these days, where I am only dressing for a 6 weeks old boy (who mainly cares about the accessness of my breasts) but it´s nice to dream of what to wear when I again have something or somebody to dress for. However still not complaining - I am crazy about my new life with all it includes; sweatpants and easy to open blouses.

40 YEARS ON THE THRONE

My mother, me, my baby boy and my sister´s little girl saw HRH Queen Margrethe ll today. We really love our Queen - but it was actually not planned that we would celebrate at her today - but we got trapped next to the a store and decided wait and wave the best we learned. We froze for more than an hour before she drove by - and the hole thing lasted less than 30 seconds - but seeing our Queen "in person" for the first time (for me) was totally worth the frozen fingers and toes.

"Congratulations Queen Margrethe - on your 40 year anniversary"

WHAT IT´S ALL ABOUT !

Not a big blogger these day; but a full time mom, and I must say; I am so totally loving it.
