Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
Almö is a beautiful nature reserve in the county of Blekinge, southern Sweden. You can really stretch your legs hiking the length of it for a few hours. Or you could just pitch up at one of its many fire pits and enjoy some stunning scenery while cooking on a camp fire. Almö naturreservat is a contrast of two halves. The northern part …
*ad/gifted We were sent the box from Mud and Bloom for free, to put through its paces and test, in exchange for writing the review. All opinions are honest and my own* Nature is important to children’s well being and happiness, as well as it being important we all need to connect to nature. Nature play is the best way of …
Everyone benefits from being in the outdoors, and bushcraft helps us understand nature more and connect to it better. Bushcraft for children is a way to teach them what nature can provide for them, and they bond with nature. They learn life skills through bushcraft, have a lot of fun, and it is also a way for families to spend some …
This is me….. a 43 year old wife and Mamma of three. Expat, dog walker, and general children’s activity taxi lady. Definitely more comfortable behind the camera than in front! Very sensitive, quite stubborn, but hugely enthusiastic about life, with a passion for the great outdoors. In a previous life I had ambitions of being a ballet dancer, before I swapped …
I love all the seasons, and I am not sure I favour one more than the others. However, when the seasons start changing and moving on, I am always ready for a change and love what the next one might bring – especially now that we live somewhere that has four distinct seasons! So, now that spring is hopefully on …
Living abroad can throw up a few curve balls. Expat problems out there are no reason not to follow your dreams for moving abroad, and they are often not insurmountable. However, it is often better to be prepared and know what expat problems to expect. This post also serves to show you that you are not alone when you face …
Lindö Udde is one of the most southern points in Blekinge county, southern Sweden, that you can reach by car. Hence you are treated to vast uninterrupted sea views and bird life. It is a smallish area, but is a great one to explore. There is a good hiking trail marked around the edge of the peninsula, along the stony shore, …
This year, Tuesday 5th March 2019 is Fettisdagen – Fat Day. Or Shrove Tuesday or pancake day if you are in the UK. Although the blog post title is not so true these days, as anytime from epiphany onwards is seen as an excuse to eat these delicious semlor bun treats. Who can blame the Swedish either when it is cold …
Choosing a knife for children to use in the outdoors can be a little overwhelming as there are lots out there. Bushcraft and survival knives can be quite expensive too, so it definitely pays to know what you want to use it for, and who is going to use it as well. When I was choosing a knife for our children to use, …
Free play is something that we prioritise for our children, and we find very important. We find it re-centres our three, and allows them to “just be”. Children these days have a lot of structure in their lives. There is structure during the school day, there are after school activities, and there are a lot of screens to be used. Add …
