🇳🇴👇🏻 Today we've had another celebration in our household. Yes, we love celebrations of all sorts 😊 So, we celebrated Iver's homecoming after finishing his one year duty at the Norwegian army. We also kinda pre-celebrated his 20th birthday this upcoming week. And because we are in the middle of the raspberry season and because Eirun and I picked some huge buckets of raspberries in the forest yesterday - what better to serve for the celebration than raspberry- vanilla cream pie. Ok, I admit we had raspberry cream cake and some chocolate mousse too .... but today I'll share the super yummy raspberry vanilla cream pie with you. Hope you'll like it. (Scroll down for English recipe 😊 Norwegian description and recipe in the middle of post ...
Sommerlig, raus og solid shoppingbag
Her i huset er vi mange som har dilla på miljø.... jeg blir alltid glad og litt stolt når barna mine irettesetter meg for å kjøpe plastposer hvis jeg har glemt å ta med miljø-poser eller egne handlenett til butikken. Det fine med bommullsnett er at de tåler mer enn plastposer .... i de aller fleste tilfeller holder posen å bli båret ca 1 km fra butikken og hjem og kan brukes igjen og igjen og igjen .... i motsetning til plastposer som ofte har røket eller revnet før du har gått 50 meter fra butikkdøra ... og du finner deg selv på alle fire på fortauet for å plukke opp dagligvarer, løk, appelsiner, yoghurt, epler og alt annet som triller utover .... 😂 Idag har jeg satt meg fore å sy en skikkelig raus, solid og sommerlig shoppingbag. Den ...
The best sweet potato Thai style soup
Today I'll serve you one of my favourite soups for lunch. This soup is sooo easy to make, it's tasty and if you ditch the chilli kids love this soup too.

Camilla’s beautiful DIY bridal bouquet -and how to make it.
July 7th 2018 we had this beautiful, amazing celebration of love in our family. Young mr&mrs Loennecken (Camilla and Edvin) had a wonderful wedding. It was all located at a farm on the southern coast of Norway, outdoors in beautiful surroundings and amazing, warm summer weather everything perfectly arranged in beautiful, summery and playful boho style by the young couple. You might already know I'm the grooms mom ... and I'm so so happy and thankful and blessed to call Camilla my daughter in law. She is a beautiful young person inside and out. We all Love her so much! From the very first time this girl set her foot in our home six years ago (even if she was only a very shy and barely 17 year old young girl at that time) she was one ...
Lunch at the beach
We are having Some wonderful warm summer days here on the southern coast of Norway. We enjoy a few days off before the upcoming wedding on Saturday and today was perfect to chill at the beach. We brought our sup (stand up paddle) board and had totally fun practicing and paddle. This is a wonderful and fun investment. It's not for small children but for teens and adults this is a perfect "toy". It's also pretty sustainable (even if it's made of rubber). It's definitely nothing you throw away after one or two times use like any other floating plastic toy.. it has more than one use and it might be used for both stand up paddle (like it's meant to) but also sitting, laying down, playing, floating, relaxing... I tried sup first time last ...
Our wedding card
Yay! Today I found time to create the greeting card for the wedding. You know I actually looove paper crafting. In the past I did paper craft every single day ... so making this card for Camilla and Edvin is something I've been looking forward to and planned how I wanted it to turn out quite some time. Now, when you've been quite good at something (not to brag) and then all of a sudden stop doing it ... getting started is such a joy... but it's also kinda scary... sounds strange? Well, what I mean is the inner critic that shows up and ask if I really still is able to make the card as nice as planned... maybe I'm just messing it all up ... I finally got to silence that critic and went to work on the card. I had some ideas in my head and ...
garden green watermelon salad
Happy Sunday! Sundays are time for relaxing and recharging... in our household it's family time, time for good food and just hanging around the house, being together doing things we love, feeling relaxed and comfy. In Norwegian we call it "koselig" or "kose seg "... same as danish "hygge", wich I notice have been a hot, trendy word after it became clear the Danes (and Scandinavian people) are ranked to be the happiest people in the world ... so obviously "hygge" or as we say "kose seg" must be a good thing .... 😂 Today our Sunday have been spent at home, we packed for departure tomorrow ... grandma (mommo ) came by to try some dresses and we helped her pick the right one for the upcoming wedding. It was so much fun. We had lunch and ...
The cutest Crochet mobile purse
As you maybe already know, we're planning, shopping, packing and getting ready for the big big happening in our family next week: Camilla and Edvin's wedding! We are so exited and happy and we really are totally over the moon ... So, as we're all different personalities in the family we are all in different stages of our to-do list before we leave to the beautiful southern coast of Norway for the wedding .... the male members of the family are ... well ... probably doing this their male way ... they need to wash the car, assemble the suit, polish their shoes, maybe go to the barbershop...and then they are good to go... 😁 The girls ... we do it a bit differently... we have been planning, thinking, shopping, made lists, gathering ideas ...
