The days without Gunnel I often spend a little longer in the city, dinners with friends, time in which I recharge my energy and make sure I don’t stress. There’s something incredible in the little things: coming home and cooking slowly, sitting on the couch for a few hours.
One of the big differences for me is that some days are completely stress/carefree. The feeling of always being late has been replaced by the feeling that all the time in the world is there, just in a small capsule.
I’ve had nice long lunches and visited wine bars I haven’t been to in years.
And in the moments with Gunnel I try to be present in a different way, realizing that the moments are more fleeting and how important it is to fill the time with quality and closeness. That we really hang out together and think of something fun. That these little moments are her childhood.
Even the journey to and from Fóris has become a very nice moment where we hang out and talk, have time to say hello and goodbye. No stress about it taking time, just delicious.
On Valentine’s Day I had my first vacation in three weeks.
I passed Swedish Tin for the first time in a long time and had a long lunch in the city.
When the sun shone on all the beauty in Svenskt Tenn, it felt like spring was almost here.
Savant bar became a cherished return visit.
So good wine and good small dishes.
Had lunch with Petra
I love skirts over jeans and had such fun with matchy denim on denim at Acne.

Last Thursday I set out to spend time for the first time in a long time.
Max at Ekman hair is always my man when it comes to hair.
In the evening after the haircut I was invited to the opening at Galleri Glas.
Bought with nice flowers from @opheliafloralse, I came by and it was so beautiful in there. And I always like to have vernissage flowers. Apart from the flowers, the welcome from the women there was the nicest in any store for a long time. Will go back.
Sarah Yasdani’s Mirage descent was so fun and full of people.
So beautiful, both Sarah’s works and the story behind them. And I loved the hints of bubblegum pink.
Definitely go there!
An incredible moon on the way home.
The living room atmosphere of @lunaklestrup felt very nice. Love love love cognac colored leather furniture.
One of the most beautiful houses I know.

@fieulka is also incredibly beautiful
Pretending Lives in NY by Carolijn Braeken.
CBK vibes are coming this spring. So classic looking.

Mother’s Day weekend and a bargain new men’s coat
The little breather when Gunnis sleeps
When the house is filled with duplo and a completely different energy
Sanna Sahlén was inspired by the theme of independent play.
I think it’s hard to do, I don’t want to say no when she invites me to join in, but we were playing music and so when I do other things, sometimes she gets into it and goes into her own little world for a moment.
Today was a wonderful day. It said the weather would be nice and I thought we should go outside the center of Täby.
Best decision in a long time. We went into Skansen and met Gunnel’s grandfather.
The fact that she fell asleep in the stroller around 10:15 am and slept there the entire time was probably not perfect timing. But we got some time to walk around and enjoy the most beautiful winter day in a long time.
Keen sneakers feel very Danish, mother and I love them.
I wanted light two from the left.
So in love with Skansen
Gunnel woke up just in time for lunch at the Blue Gate, but she was just as happy.
It’s best to see Gunnel and get together.
So beautiful to walk from Liljevalchs to Djurgårdsbron along the water, and that Gunnel could walk around freely. Maybe it’s not the child that’s difficult, but more finding the right place where they can just be a child.
It was so beautiful that we walked all the way back to Technical and Roslagsbanan.
I’ll remember it today. Because it felt like everyone got so much out of the day. Sometimes it’s just a matter of getting out, I’m a coward sometimes and feel comfortable, but had flashbacks to maternity leave and the joy of walking together in beautiful surroundings. And it’s very nice to have two extra free hands from dad.
I feel spring coming and I long for everything.
Life feels really good right now.
I hope you have a nice weekend.
