This is how my selfie with Charlie looks like today! Today the family went to the zoo, had lunch and icecream, went grocery shopping and came back home. The little one was moved from car to pram to car to home, had her diaper changed and was even breastfed twice - all while she was sleeping! 6 hours later, no sign of wanting to wake up... I wonder how tonight will be 😆 #sleepyhead

This time two years ago, on top of a mountain in the middle of Nuuk fjord - the world’s second largest fjord system. Writing a rapportage for TELE-POST Greenland.

Like the new wall art #aperolspritz

This one always makes me go out on adventures, he’s always curious to explore. It doesn’t matter that we’ve now got two kids (one being 2.5 weeks old) and I’m pretty much breastfeeding around the clock so we make a gazillion stops... when I’ve had enough sleep I’m grateful for the push. 😜

Sneaking out to the rooftop for a Copenhagen sunset. And looking from the outside in.

Happy 3rd birthday to our darling Pippa! You throw tantrums like a threenager should, but you’re also our sweet, charming, cheeky monkey. We love you so much.

That Day 1 “where on earth am I” look 🥰. Baby was born on the 9th May, weighing 3.02 kg and measuring 50cm. Everything went smoothly if a little turbo paced at the end. We’ve had a lot to be thankful for the past few days 😊

We are five days over the due date for little sister (so already two weeks later than Pippa). If she doesn’t come by herself, I might get induced on Jonas’ birthday! Pros and cons to having the same birthday?

What do puppies and kids have in common? Throw Pippa a stick and she’s happy 😆

Enjoying sunshine, sandals, biking and rooftop gardens - nice to still be a little active 5 days before my due date! Thanks for the visit all the way from Qatar @kalvinng84

I love that our little family goes on microadventures even if we are staying in town during Easter. I must say, I don’t know CPH very well and look forward to discovering the hidden nooks during my maternity break. Today we discovered a fishing harbour in Nordhavn / Østerbro, that has a totally different feel from the industrial area around it.

There have been major changes to our family’s rhythm this month. Our little woodland princess has started big kid’s playgroup, which means we have been giving her shorter days so that she can transition smoothly. And now daycare is closed for Easter! Meanwhile, I’m getting more tired and less mobile. I’m trying to limit my activity, and well, if my brain doesn’t do it my body makes me rest anyway. Grateful for an understanding husband, and despite the energy it takes to look after her, loving that I get to spend so much quality time with my daughter right now. If you have tips for transitioning you’re welcome to share! PS Yep, that’s a branch with flowers she put on her head 😂 #latergram #christianiabike #transitioning #easter #maternity

The perfect place not to do much. #babyincoming #week38

Selfie: Pippa, a random Asian tourist, The Little Mermaid and I. For the first time this year, I thought it was warm enough to wear shorts and eat icecream outside in CPH. Admittedly, it was a little cold with the wind, but I’m enjoying that I can spend alone time with my little girl before the storm begins... The first week of maternity leave has been very full, and I hope to put my feet up more next week... #Week37

We met little Tilde. She is one of the #hiddengiants of Vallensbæk bog.

Hey, back when I was a little mermaid on Giglio island! 😬Sunshine, please come back to Copenhagen #atws2018

Hmm... can you see what’s wrong in the painting? I blame it on the pregnancy brain - or you can just call it art. 😬😂 #week34

The best place to tinkle (not me) 😂

You are gorgeous as always, Barcelona.
