A Saturday @ The Farm

Last Saturday (April 16th) my kid and I + my brother and his family visited The Farm. My mom cooked us dinner (lovely fish dinner) and we spent the most of the afternoon outside in the beautiful spring weather. MT and his two cousins had fun (most of the time) …

Happy Easter Day

My Grandpa always told me that it wasn’t really a happy easter until Easter Day. I’m not so sure if I agree, because every day – throughout the year – is a Happy Easter because of what Jesus did almost two thousand years ago. But I still tend to think …

Thoughts about a photo

credits: alpha, papers and elements from Front Page by Sweet Tomato Designs I’m not entirely sure why, but this photo speaks volumes to me. Maybe it’s the memory of so many times I’ve been with MT down by the lake or the fjord, watching him throw rocks out in the …

Love | Good Friday

Good Friday is a sad and dark day, in many ways. Jesus was sentenced to death. He suffered and he died. In Norway we let Jesus’ sufferings influence the name. We call it Long Friday. In earlier times it was a strange holiday day. Usually the goal of any other …

Clean | Holy Thursday

What was he thinking?! Getting down on his knees with water and towel in hand. They all looked at him with astonished faces. What was this? Not a part of the Easter meal that they were supposed to start at any moment; remembering the exodus from Egypt. Sure their feet …

Don’t tell my mom..

…but I let my kid put his bare feet into the cold river water on Monday. It was just too warm a day to tell him no, even though we are in April still (bathing season here starts by the end of June, usually). Over a day later there is …

Today | A Meme

Outside my window the sun is shining I am thankful for that MT is home from school and on Easter break From the kitchen isn’t much happening today. Guess there will be some dinner later today, maybe fish? I am wearing my everyday jeans and sweater. I am creating a …

Palm Sunday | Hosanna

Yesterday my nephew cut a few (20ish) branches of pine for me. Today I asked (very politely) the congregation to please come outside with me to start the service with a little Palm Sunday procession. We handed out the branches and our musician went in the front, together with MT …

More digi goodness

I have a new layout to share with you. I made it almost a month ago, but today it’s the day for reveal of another contribution to The Digi Files @ The Daily Digi. I loved working with Sara‘s templates and had so much fun trying piecing together all the …

Youth work weekend

It’s been one of those weekends where I have only a few and short moments to sit down and just relax. So right now I feel rather empty and tired, even thought the days have been good (most of the time). Most of my waken hours and commitment went to …

Updated my heading image

Just a quick little note to tell I updated my heading image. I really would love to do something with the desing and theme, but I have no time for that right now. So I did the next best thing. New images in the heading. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Visiting an old memory

When I was a little girl my dad worked as a teacher at a place called Croftholmen. It was close to the ocean and 60 kilometers away from our home. I know he loved teaching at that school, but the driving did take up much of his time so a …
