Every 17th of May I eat a soft serve by the bay! 😉🍦 I need travel advice, folks. With a new house and a baby on the way, my husband and I won’t be traveling much this summer, but we booked a weekend in Stockholm for our anniversary. I haven’t been there since I was a kid, so I need advice on what we should do. It’s my husband’s first trip to Sweden. What’s a good, moderately priced restaurant for our anniversary dinner? (Keep in mind I’m pregnant, so I can’t eat raw fish, etc) What’s awesome, but off the beaten track? (not crowded) What’s a waste of time? We like nature/gardens, history and castles, sculptures/art. I also like cool, unique shops. We do not like crowds, but this is the last weekend in June... —————————————————- #icecream #softserve #softis #akerbrygge #visitoslo #oslove #mittoslo #visitnorway #oslobilder #ilovenorway #osloby #nortrip #norwaypng #whattodoinnorway

For those who don’t know yet, I’m pregnant!! ❤️❤️ @rurikhenry and I are expecting our little Alice in September and we cannot wait to meet her. 👧🏻💜 Next 17th of May I’ll have the flag in one hand and her sitting on my hip. 😉 Gratulerer med dagen, Norge! 🇳🇴 ❤️ (It’s Norwegian Constitution Day) ——————————————————————— #babyannouncement #23weekspregnant #momtobe #mumtobe #gratulerermeddagen #17mai #pregnancyannouncement #preggobelly #preggers #akerbrygge #visitoslo #oslove #mittoslo #osloby

Throwback to our honeymoon. I miss Italy! 🇮🇹 ❤️ If you’re visiting Milano in the summer and you want to avoid the crowds, the key is to wake up early. That is how we were able to enjoy it. If you’re the first ones in line for the rooftop of the Duomo, then you have a little bit of time to yourself because they take people up in the elevator. The plaza in front of it is also so peaceful in the early morning without anyone there. #duomomilano #duomo #duomodimilano #milanocityitalia #thisismilano #ig_milan #loves_milano #volgomilano #milanomia #visitmilano #mymilano #travel_wander_dreamer #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom @naesssara, all the great mamas out there, the new mamas, and the mamas-to-be! ❤️💐 #happymothersday #motherofthebride #mothersday

This is my new neighborhood! Two days ago we officially handed over the keys to the apartment in central Oslo we have been renting for the last 2 years. Now we are homeowners on Nesodden, a peninsula that juts into the Oslofjord. This is not the view from our new house (if it were it would be way out of our budget), but we are right next to the woods and these fjord views are a short walk away. I’m very happy to be closer to nature and away from all the chaos of the city center. Oslo was quiet compared to my 5 years in NYC, but now I’m sick of that too. I must be getting old! 😝 I’ve been inactive the last few months because I’ve been too busy with work, the move, etc. and wanted to get away from some of the negative sides of this platform. But now I’ve shed lots of fake wannabe influencer followers and I feel cleansed. 😉 #oslofjorden #nesodden #fjordsofnorway

What are you looking forward to? I can’t wait until springtime and enjoying it in our new house. We have a lot to do before the move in April, but I have high hopes for 2019. 😀 Have a good weekend! ——————————————————————— #staugustine #staugustinefl #lovefl #roamflorida #pureflorida #floridalife #staysaltyflorida #visitflorida #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls
