My bubbly baby girl

by Sofia   -   in Random

A little girl who loves her teddy bears and nurtures her dolls. She wraps them all in little blankets and feeds them parts of her dinner.

A little girl who loves to play with her friends and looks up to her big sister.

A little girl with the most contagious laughter in the world that comes from the bottom of her tummy… and her heart.

A little girl who tip toes to her parents bed almost every night and snuggles in her daddy´s arms or curls up next to her mummy´s back and sleeps there peacefully even after everyone else is up and about their morning routines.

A little girl who has a heart of gold but a very strong will too. She purses her lips and pulls her chin out and you know she has made up her mind about something and there is little you can do about it.

A little girl who wants to climb to her loved ones laps and cuddle as much as she can.

A little girl who takes your face between her hands and tells you you are pretty.

A little girl who cries honest tears if she misses a kiss from her daddy if he goes out the door ( even if it´s just for a jog).

A little girl who comes to you and whispers in your ear ” Mummy I have secret!” and then smacks a big kiss to your cheek and laughs that laugh from the bottom of her heart and you wonder if you ever ever ever would have known the world as it is if she had never come to your life. And you are thankful every day for having such a special person in your life. Four years ago, two weeks after her due date she came. Seeing her sleep happily in the middle of our big bed every morning cuddled in our duvet and resting on our soft pillows I truly get her tardiness those four years ago. Her world is not in a hurry anywhere. She is not in a hurry anywhere. Unless someone is leaving out the door. Then you hear little footsteps running and a little raspy voice yelling ” Hug hug hug, kiss kiss kiss!”. Do not dare to leave or enter this house without plenty of those if she is around.

Happy Birthday Bubble Gum!

Happy thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Random

What a great weekend it was! Was it not? Friday night was just a family dinner followed by some games we played with the whole family while eating dark chocolate and fresh raspberries for dessert. I think it´s such a great time now that we can go to the movies or play games together as Bubble Gum is big enough to participate. It might have been my favourite moment of the weekend.

Another happy moment was taking a relaxing bath after a good workout. I am a big fan of Aerin and her products. So I splurged on a little gift for myself while in New York and bought her new rose body wash and rose oil. I think they look absolutely perfect in my bathroom.

Oh coffee you had me at hello

by Sofia   -   in Random

I know I sound like I´m more of a coffee addict than Lorelai Gilmore herself when writing about coffee so often. But then again I think the name of the blog kind of gives me the right to do so. I wrote to you about my collaboration with Nespresso here. I´m still so in love with my Latissima touch. The only bad thing about it might be that now I probably drink even more coffee than before. I do try to keep my guilty pleasure in check though.

Nespresso came out with new limited edition flavours for the Fall called Palermo ( with flavours of pepper and cocoa) and Milano  ( sweet and fruity) and as in my humble opinion no one does coffee like the Italians do, I was very excited to try these. Have I told you that I get sent a few tubes of coffee every now and then? They arrive to my house by a courier in a matte black box. Very chic. The boxes are called love boxes. And yes, I am in love. I´m really a sucker for a well thought out brand but especially if the product is as good as the brand. And in this case I think it is. Anyhow, the new Italian flavours are rich and strong and every bit as Italian as I wanted them to be. Although they are designed to be drank as espressos or actually even ristrettos ( half the amount of water from an espresso) they also make great cappuccinos ( or cappuccos as the Milanese call them) and lattes. Absolutely worth a try before the Christmas flavours hit the stores. And remember these are limited edition so you may want to hurry with your order before they run out.
