Hello, I'm back!!

Oops, it's been a while since my last blog post. The school year has well and truly started and I've been totally absorbed in the kids' homework as well as continuing to remove Christmas. Yes, you read correctly... I'm still removing Christmas. It's been a long process this year. Slowly but surely, I'm getting my house back to normal again. - in time for Easter, maybe!! 



I like keeping the red going after Christmas, especially to around Valentine's Day. Do you like my Valentine's Day bedroom? It's so nice and warm. Speaking of warm... We've had a heatwave here in South-East Queensland and it's been terrible. Too hot and too humid. This Viking does not enjoy the tropical climate we've been blessed with this week. Far out, it didn't matter if you had a shower or not. You were as sweaty after a shower - as before. Crazy!

Hope you all have a had a relaxing weekend! Thanks for stopping by ♥

Valentine's Day 2014



Yesterday's Valentine's Day surprise from my loving hubby 
was a box of Lindt Chocolates and a card that our princess helped him choose.

♥ He definitely knows what I like ♥ 

Hope you all had a wonderful day.
Valentine's hugs from Australia

Happy Valentine's Day



Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

Hope you have a lovely day with your loved ones.
... or get to do something you really like.

I'm going to watch Pretty Little Liars when the kids are asleep
...while my hubby is at work until 1am.

Feels like the perfect way to end the week!

Valentine's Day

In Swedish Valentine's Day is translated into All Hearts' Day. The history of celebrating Valentine's Day in Sweden is fairly new. We didn't start until the 1960s. The department store NK (The Nordic Company) began selling heart shaped jellies. According to Wikipedia, we didn't celebrate much at all until the 90s when the special day was introduced at the local high schools.






For me, this is the first time I decorate the house for Valentine's Day. For me, it's a great excuse to keep the red going for a little while longer before it's time for all my blue! It's been so much red everywhere for so long, I've almost forget that I actually live in a 'blue home' ☺

My three year old princess saw me decorate in red and asked: 
- Mamma, is it Christmas today? 
- No, not today, I replied. 
- Ah, so you are just decorating?!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

... even in the toilet!

The toilet received a heart make-over during the Valentine season!


Beautiful heart of beads.
Rustic, yet romantic♥


The red curtain is still up since Christmas - So perfect for Valentine's Day!

Our faux crystal chandelier makes a divine pattern in the ceiling.
Pretty and romantic♥


My grandmother's necklace, which she got on her 80th birthday.
A beautiful love heart with her initials.


Valentine's Day is almost upon us...
