Going green... With the plastic craze, squishies, straws, and the hundreds of toys your tween plays with for like a minute and the fact that the world is literally drowning in plastic - we want to talk about sustainablílity and teaching kids to go-green from an early age. And yes - we have plastic toys at home, and yes, the kids do grow out of their clothes relatively fast, but that doesn't mean we can't teach our tweens about ... read more
How to make your Christmas a little bit greener

The girls sat down and made a list of MUST DO'S for a greener and sweeter Christmas. 1. Use ... read more

Best Instagram spots in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is wonderful. So wonderful that Danny Kaye even made a song about the city, called “Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen.” I moved away from here as a young woman as I needed to explore more, and felt that place was too small for me back then. As you might know, I lived in London for 11 years but returned with my family almost a decade ago. I never used to see what the fuss was all about, but I have since changed my mind entirely, and ... read more
Travel in style – See-Ya suitcase

Not just for travelling, the See-Ya is the perfect place to store treasures, and the cute little suitcase would look fab in your room too when you're not travelling.

The Mad Hatters Teaparty – how to make it yourself.

Tweentown explores – Aldershvile Slotspavillion
One of the things we do in this family is to go explore. We love visiting places, new and old because there is always something to see, something you have never seen before. This day we took the girls to a place I used to frequent as a child myself. A stunning lake just outside Copenhagen - Lake Bagsværd. This place is the remains of an old stately home, originally laid out as the Romantic gardens of a country house, Aldershvile, the park ... read more
