One of my resolutions this year is to shop more second-hand! ♻️💙 . You can find so many beautiful great quality pieces in thrift stores and online second-hand shops to give a new home to for a fraction of the price that they retail for in stores and at the same time significantly reduce your environmental footprint 🙌🏼🌱 . A 2017 report by @schibsted found that users from 10 second-hand shopping sites saved 21.5 million tonnes greenhouse gases and 1.2 million tonnes plastic. There are many ways that we as individuals can contribute positively to the environment and responsible consumption plays a big part. Thrifting is one of many great ways for conscious consumption! . I bought the lovely jumpsuit and @fendi baguette bag (which I had been looking for - for years!) in this photo on @vestiaireco and @depop but there are so many other wonderful second-hand shops and apps you can head to for a browse like @vinted @poshmark @oxfaminternational @prelovedofficial etc. . Where do you shop second-hand treasures? ☺️ . . . . . . #thriftstorefinds #thrifting #buysecondhand #reusereducerecycle #sustainableluxury #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #greenlifestyle #sustainabledesign #wornandwound #slowfashion #consciousliving #consciousconsumer #ecoblogger #fashionrevolution #circulareconomy #ecofriendly #theartofslowliving #ethicalfashion #greenlife #sustainablefashionblogger

At a little over 3 months Erik is officially interested in reaching for and bating at his toys! 😄🎉 Could watch this little guy observing and interacting with his surroundings all day. I have caught him a few times over the past few days feeling and scratching at different surfaces with curiosity at the textures and sounds. Can’t handle all the adorableness 🙈 . Anyone else in awe of every single thing their baby does? 😂 . Erik is wearing the cutest green leaf bodysuit which was gifted to him from @littleleaf_organic - an eco-friendly UK based family company which creates beautiful baby clothes and accessories made out of GOTS certified organic cotton. All of their designs are unisex so that they can be passed down from sibling to sibling no matter the gender! Absolutely love that 🙌🏼💚 . . . . . . . . #newmama #ecomama #organicmama #organicbaby #babyfever #ohheymama #ecobaby #naturalmama #theartofslowliving #verilymoment #preciousmoments #petitejoys #simplychildren #mummyblogger #ecoblogger #sustainablefashion #fairfashion #consciousliving #greenliving

This photo was taken at the end of October of my first stroll with Erik! Yes, it has taken me THIS long to upload it 🙈 Before Erik was born I planned to get back to blogging in the middle of November - I was obviously completely unaware of how much work babies are. My mom was in the UK for the first 3 weeks after the birth which was a huge help, but since neither Andreas and I have family living in the UK who can lend us a hand from time to time our life has been a game of which one of us gets to sleep, eat, or get a second to do something non-baby related 😁 . At 3 months now things are now slowing starting to become slightly easier as we have got to know Erik and his cues better. He has also started to build a routine (will it or will it not stick? 🤔) and knows to sleep in his crib during the night - which is a huge relief as he still refuses to fall asleep (and stay asleep) anywhere but in our arms during the day🤱🏻 . Any magic tricks to get this guy to snooze in his crib during the day are more than welcome and will be much appreciated! 🙏 . . ✨Sustainable outfit ✨ • The most stunning lavender coat from @everlane made using 36 plastic bottles! Have you checked out their ReNew collection yet? If not then you must! Beautiful pieces made using plastic waste. • @veja shoes • @boobdesign maternity tights which can also be worn post pregnancy. . Erik’s sustainably made pram is from @myjoolz . . . . . #newmama #ecomama #organicmama #organicbaby #3monthsold #babyfever #babyboy #ecobaby #naturalmama #theartofslowliving #verilymoment #octoberbaby #preciousmoments #petitejoys #ohheymama #winterbaby #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #ecofriendly #fairfashion #ecoblogger

So I have officially become one of those extremely annoying moms who photographs her kid all day long - HELP! 🙈🙆🏻‍♀️ . ✨ Question ✨ do you still create physical photo albums? . When I was little one of my favourite pastimes was to snoop. My parents’ and my grandparents’ homes - their dresser drawers and closets, in particular - were my main targets. I don’t know what I was searching for, I just know that I wanted to find something fascinating. Some old coins, vintage clothing, but what interested me most were photos, some which were placed in an old box while others arranged in albums. No matter how many times I looked through those albums, I never tired of the photos. Often times my mother or grandmother would explain to me who the people depicted were and my relationship to them and I loved hearing their stories. There was something about these photos which made them feel precious and valuable, which made me want to keep them for myself. But now that digital cameras have replaced film and smart phones have nearly made digital cameras obsolete, family albums are in danger of extinction, if not already lost to time. I keep telling myself to print off my vast store of digital images and create albums but somehow I never get around to it. . One of my resolutions this year is to start creating family albums - if not for me then for Erik - who if he’s anything like me, will have some secret comfort from handling photos of his family and childhood. . When you hold a photo album, you sense that you are in possession of something unique, intimate, that is meant to be saved for a long time. We can’t keep a beloved jpeg in a drawer after all, or affectionately hold an external hard drive, let alone rely on a computer which could break at any moment along with the loss of those memories. And while the loss of the family photo album can hardly be considered a tragedy, I can’t help but feel that it’s a bit of a shame. . I am welcoming any tips to create these albums in the most sustainable way possible ☺️💜 . . . . . . #newmama #ecomama #organicmama #organicbaby #babyfever #ohheymama #ecobaby #naturalmama #theartofslowliving #verilymoment #preciousmoments #petitejoys

Happy New Year lovelies! Hope you all had a great start to 2019 ✨❤️ As far as mommy life goes I fell asleep at 9pm, which to be honest nowadays is way past my bedtime. According to the hubby even Erik was awake for the countdown! . The past year has been the most challenging and best year of my life. Exactly a year ago I found out I was pregnant, little did I know the rollercoaster ride Erik would take me on! And even though there have been some tough times there have been even more incredibly amazing moments. . 🌟 2018 has taught me 🌟 • That I am STRONGER and more FIERCE than I ever knew I could be. • How much PATIENCE I actually have. • How LITTLE I actually know and how much there is to learn. • How well I can function on virtually ZERO sleep. • That not only can I SURVIVE change, I can also be IMPROVED by it in ways I can’t possibly fathom. • That a love for your child is like NO OTHER love you have ever experienced. . I am excited to see what the new year brings and will be slowly making me way back to Instagram this month, posting whenever time permits! And can’t wait to catch up with you all ☺️ . P.S - swipe left for some photos of my trip to Sweden and well mostly photos of pretty much everyone holding Erik 😂🙈 so thankful to have spent the holidays with my Swedish family and my siblings! . . . . . . . #snowday #festiveseason #snowfall #catlovers #christmas #winterwonderland #catsofinstagram #catstagram #naturalmama #theartofslowliving #verilymoment #preciousmoments #petitejoys #ohheymama #winterbaby #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #ecofriendly #fairfashion #ecoblogger #sweden #newmama #motherhood #mumlife

Today is my first birthday as a mom and I have everything that I could ever need ❤️ Erik turned two months a few days ago - where has time gone?! He loves to chat, observe his surroundings, and smile warmly at everyone 👶🏻 . Spending my birthday in Stockholm today with all of my great loves and couldn’t be happier! Snow and saffron buns are a big plus 💁🏻‍♀️ . I may or may not post again before the new year. If not, sending you all much love and the best wishes for the holidays! See you again in January with lots of updates and great new collaborations ✨ . . ⭐️ swipe left for cuteness overload! . . . . #newmama #ecomama #organicmama #organicbaby #pregnancyjourney #newbornbaby #babyfever #babyboy #ecobaby #naturalmama #theartofslowliving #verilymoment #octoberbaby #preciousmoments #petitejoys #ohheymama #winterbaby #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #ecofriendly #fairfashion #ecoblogger #2monthsold #29thbirthday #christmas #christmasbaby
