The perfect Christmas gift for travellers big and small

Do you like to travel? I love that feeling of excitement you get when you discover a new place - the sounds, the smells...the wonderful people.  Lately, my daughters have been keeping a record of the places we've been on a great interactive travel poster from Bold Tuesday. If you love to travel you'll love their maps too - which are designed to inspire people to see the world from a fresh perspective. The selection includes a Go! World sticker poster (peel off each country you've been to and put it in a journal) a Find it! World travel poster (a world search travelogue),  Colour! World travel poster (colour in the places you've been), and the List of Countries poster. The latter, which my daughters have, features 196 countries, from largest to smallest and includes the names of the capital cities underneath because 'knowledge is power'! It also comes with little red stickers so you can mark the places you've been. Love that! If you'd like to pick one up for yourself or as a Christmas pressie Bold Tuesday are offering an exclusive 15% discount on any poster (use the code 'myhome15' at checkout to redeem) until 12th December! Here's my daughter's List of Countries poster......

Travel combined with minimalistic design - what a perfect present?!

Have a lovely day!

My little girls and their new bedroom

I'm so excited to share a glimpse of the newly decorated bedroom of my two little girls - Liv (6) and Ali (4) today. I couldn't show the room without an appearance from my girls, after all what's a children's room without children?! They were more than happy to be little models, in fact they had such fun during the shoot! I'm particularly proud of these images as they're the result of a collaboration with three Southern Sweden creative friends: Gen, interior stylist and owner of The Youngsters helped me design the room, Malin, owner of oh so cool online shop Ziggys, helped pick out the clothes and Kimme Persson took the fab shots. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed creating them!

I am so pleased with the room, but not as much as my girls are. I hope you like it too (it's very nerve-racking posting pictures of my home here!).
