Our Valentine´s day dinner


my husband isn´t the one to celebrate valentines day, but i decided a few years ago that i do! so, i made dinner (for once since he is the cook in this house) and set the table for the three of us making that day a little more special than other days.


i wrote them both (my husband and daughter) a love note that i put by their plate.


i chopped...


...and fried and also cooked some pasta which all made for a lovely and tasty dinner. 


thats right, i baked also :)


and we had a lovely night :) i hope that you all had a great day too!

and this made me smile and nod 

Everyone's invited...

Magic Monday


finally i have the time to sit down and do a magic monday post. 
i have been thinking about magic alot lately. trying to see magic when it happens just like that. here is some random thoughts:

- i shared a lot of love ideas during my blogging week at WCS last week, but my favorite post was fridays where i shared a few random acts of kindness ideas. i have done a few of those and it always feels abit like i have butterflies in my stomach when i do. and that time a few years ago, when my daughter and me found a message in a bottle at the beach was one of the times when i have been on the recieving end of something magical and random :)



 - i have a board at pinterest where i have pinned things that mean magic to me and it makes me so happy to just scroll through the images. 

 Magic

- i really try to look at life like this...

Project Life | week 6


here is my spread for week 6. i kept it pretty simple because i just had to much going on this week.


on monday, we had a photowalk me and my daughter. it was freezing, but fun! tuesday we buried my grandmother. the fullmoon on tuesday was amazing. and we celebrated my husbands birthday.


i used the "white" space on the photo to do my journaling. 


i got a lovely package from my friend monika stuffed with all sorts of paper goodies! and i included her card here. i forgot to take a photo of it but that top left slot is a flip pocket and underneath i s her note. on dalai lamas facebook feed (i know!) he shared (ok, probably not him) this great quote 

"The human capacity to care for others isn’t something trivial or something to be taken for granted. Rather, it is something we should cherish. Compassion is a marvel of human nature, a precious inner resource, and the foundation of our well-being and the harmony of our societies. If we seek happiness for ourselves, we should practice compassion: and if we seek happiness for others, we should also practice compassion."

and i wanted to have that in my week spread somehow. i ended up printing it on a journaling card by Crystal Wilkerson and i also added a digital brush by Ali Edwards. 

next to that i added one of the pins i have made to my words i love board on pinterest. 



i wrote a little week in review thing and i like how it turned out!


i printed a few of my instgram photos from the week on a 4x6 card.


as you can see on my spread photo, i have a insert this week too. i wanted to have this mosaic i made with photos i took on tuesday at my grandmother funeral. on the back i journaled. 

that´s it folks.

I posted a click. post at WCS




 I know that I have hosted the blog the entire week, but I had to share a Click. post too! 
Today I have the coolest challenge for you all. While pinning away over at Pinterest I came over this pin.

See how brilliant this is?! Your challenge is to follow your kid around (or any other person that you love!) and shoot photos of what they typically do on a normal day. Just add a short caption to the photos and you have recorded a day in the life just like that! Awesome! And you could easily use the photos to make a minialbum titled: A day in the life of...
I am so doing this myself! Yes, I am challenging you and me both to do this! We can do it! And don´t forget to share your photos with us

Peace & Love

Ps. This blog is another example of snapping everyday photos and adding short captions.
