Throughout our first two years of living in Blekinge, southern Sweden, we have explored a lot of islands and nature reserves in a bid to learn about the area we live in. It was very hard to whittle the list down to 11 places to visit in Blekinge, and there are many other places we have visited which have been beautiful …
Last year, after being in Sweden for a year, I wrote a post about things I had learnt living in Sweden. Now I am going to share with you some rules for living in Sweden. I hope it can give you a little more insight into life here, and the rules for living in Sweden are not so bad most …
The fun for kids Karlskrona card is a card that allows your family to benefit from a lot of offers in and around the town of Karlskrona in southern Sweden. It is a card personal to you (cannot be used by any other individual), and is valid from 1st May 2018 – 30th April 2019. So if you live in …
The Blekinge Museum is a fantastic place to visit (free for children, and adults only need to pay in the summer months). It can be found in the centre of Karlskrona, and although I was initially wondering whether my three would enjoy a trip there (indoor exhibitions are not really their thing), I was really pleasantly surprised.

Karlskrona Marinmuseum offers an in depth look at Swedish naval history. The museum is currently free, and is well worth a visit if you are in Karlskrona, in Southern Sweden. It is housed in a lovely building, and done really well with lots of interactive features for children (and buttons to press for twin 1, who if he ever came …
A large part of our motivation for moving abroad was our children, and giving them what we felt was a better lifestyle than we could in the UK. Not better in terms of more things or money, but in terms of quality. However, it is important to remember that this blog post is based on our (so far) two year …
Rural life in Sweden is beautiful, and living here has given us different opportunities. We have made some lovely new friends since moving here, and one of those owns the sheep farm on our little island. Being a small island, he welcomes people into his barn, especially children, to get up close to the animals. The children’s daycare even takes …
The 5th October marks 2 years since we arrived, joined Dadda, and started our life in Sweden…it has gone crazy fast and I can’t believe we have already been here that long. Our little people are starting to be not so little anymore, and all three have now started school here. I have previously reflected back at the 6 month point and …
Kalmar Slott is a beautiful and imposing castle, that on the day we visited, mysteriously appeared out of the fog when we were almost on top of it. It is set in a beautiful location with lots of green areas, and water surrounding it. It is an exciting place for any children to visit and imagine what life would have …
We are lucky enough to live in southern Sweden. Blekinge, our part of Sweden, has an archipelago made up of 1650 islands, skerries, and islets. This summer we have taken you on our adventures around the Blekinge archipelago, and now we return to its capital, Karlskrona. This post will complete the series I have done about the Blekinge archipelago by …
