MAKE OVER

We are giving our new place a total make over - so we are kind of busy these days doing that - and taking care of the Baby ... but in two weeks we will be finished and I will return with more optimistic pictures.

PINTEREST

I have a pinterest profile (like I also have a facebook, linkedin, twitter, heart it, tumblr and so many more profiles... ) But this one I actually use quite often. I have a brief called Copenhagen Street Art where I upload pictures of things I come across when me and baby tour the city. It´s a lot of fun to keep your eyes open for art around the city and it´s very satisfying when you find something cool. If the weather is good this weekend I will go hunting again.

COPENHAGEN PHOTO FESTIVAL

These days Copenhagen Photo Festival is ongoing all over Copenhagen. Baby and I have been to a few exhibitions, but I hope to see a few more before it´s over. I started understanding photo art while I was living in China and I bought a couple of pieces there; so at the moment my photo art collection is 100 % chinese, but I must say that I have seen a few pieces at the festival which I would not mind adding to my walls - but I will behave myself as we are moving in less than a month and I need to see my collection in it´s new home before I enlarge it - of course unless I see something I cannot live without...

JUST MARRIED ...

This weekend we celebrated our little family by hosting a little party. Boyfriende and I have both changed our last name so we now have the same last name as Baby. It was not very difficult as we actually are married and have been so for quite some time: October 16th 2010 we became Mr. and Mrs. with only a few knowing about it. 2 months ago when people received the invitations for this weekend´s party we came clean and now it´s time for the same here on the blog ... and of course to show a few snapshots from the big day.

I wore a little lace dress from H&M (at the enormous price of 249 RMB ) and had a few fresh daisies   in my hair and when we had said our "I do´s" my husband; yes - now Boyfriende is no longer Boyfriende but Husbande - put a simple gold band he had had made for me on my finger - a perfect match to the art deco love ring he had had made for me a couple of years ago. Our wedding cake as a green frog cake; both his and my favorite cake when we were kids - so of course the perfect choice for our "big" day. All in all a wonderful day that day in October 2010 ... and 2 days later Boyfriende was shipped of to Afghanistan and we did not see each other for 2 months ...

APARTMENT DREAMS

We are moving to our new place in approximately one month - and I cannot wait ! It will be so nice to have our own place again - our own floors, our own walls, our own everything. 5 rooms (plus a kitchen and a bathroom) are a bit more than we have ever had before - so I am looking for a bit of inspiration - and this house belonging to the Danish furniture architect Børge Mogensen has so many cool solutions, details and features.

SUMMER TIME

Once again I am the worst blogger on the face of the earth. Summer has hid Denmark quite hard and the blog is suffering from it - It´s too nice weather to sit inside and blog - and icecream is required every day.

Our little family is enjoying it to the fullest and living by the sea with a balcony is not so bad when it´s grill season - so dinners are often prepared like this

My days are spend outside working on a tan and of course enjoying Baby to the fullest - showing him all my favorite places in Copenhagen.

He´s growing so fast - now 5 and a half month and so full of energy that we are worried about how tired we will be when he starts to move around on his own. That´s not all - he´s also started eating "real" food, and this has changed our life a bit to; as the little guy insists to control the spoon and cup himself ... There´s a lot more to clean up than when he was only breastfeed....

Since my last blog a lot has happened; we have been to my parents place, been to a Salomon trail race with Daddy, been to Baby´s cousin´s "getting a name - party" and Baby´s Great Grandmother´s 80th Birthday party - well yes, and probably a lot more not so "big"event like.

- lot of fun new things for Baby (and for us) - and luckily he is just smiling through it all - our little cool Baby Boy.

Now we are up to date - however I hope for more good weather, but promise to be a better blogger through out the summer.
