My journey to a more free and simple life with my kids and husband.
🔹️sustainable lifestyle, unschooling, veganism and mindfulness. 💚

Instagram post 2189819933487327919_210861717 Winter and Christmas is my favourite season and time of the year. I love everything from the frosty air, snow, christmas lights, ornaments to the FOOD. 🎄
•••
Last year was our first plantbased christmas. So I went very safe and only baked cookies, where the only thing that needed to be substituted, was the butter. We also ordered the christmas dinner through @aarstiderne.
•••
This year, we are baking different types of cookies and we are even going to make a gingerbread house (from scratch). We have already baked 3 types of cookies and 1 of them, has already been eaten. The girls love to be a part of the process with the rolling, cutting and decorating.
•••
We will again order the christmas dinner through @aarstiderne, because it is so delicious and I'll be saving time. I would rather be spending time with my kids and husband, and that is what the season is al about - FAMILY AND HYGGE.

Instagram post 2177607534609122198_210861717 I love that we have time in the morning to make fresh baked buns. This dough takes approximately 10-15 minutes to make and then it has to bake for 20 minutes in the oven. No need to raise in between, so in 30 minutes you'll have fresh baked buns.
•••
You could also make a big batch of dough and keep it in the fridge. And then take out what you need in the morning. I have experience with the dough can last for 5 days in the fridge.

Instagram post 2171898550799536471_210861717 When I became a mom, I was very aware of what kind of clothes and toys my children should have, in terms of how they are produced and what materials that are used.
I was was very determined as to what I would expose my children to. It had to be sustainable, made in Europe and be certified with all these environmental labels.
•••
But I was still apart of the problem: Consumerism. Because no matter how sustainable the toys and clothes I bought, it still had enormous negative foodprint on our environment. Even though it's smaller in comparison to other types of toys and clothing, I was still contributing to the environmental problem.
•••
Over the years I've been reflecting on my part of the problem and what I could do better:
1. Use what we have in terms of clothing ect.
2. Fix it, reuse, recycle or upcycle .
3. Only buy what we need and buy second hand if possible, which it is in 99,9% of the time.

Unfortunately our society has a spoiled mentality, when it comes to materialistic things. It has to be new and instagram friendly. Because we're so afraid of what others might think of us.
•••
And when it comes to gift giving, it's such a tabu and horrible thing to give someone a reused gift.
But why? Is image so important? Are we so self involved, that it is not the content that matters, but only having a lot of gifts and especially expensive gifts, that matters?
•••
I am for one happy about these different initiatives like Børneloppen, @reshopper @lidkob @dbadk @leg_igen ect. They have made it easy to buy second hand and to sell your own stuff. And also like the different kinds of rotation groups on Facebook, where you pass on your stuff, to someone who needs it. Not everything is about profit, but it is about doing something nice for someone else.

Instagram post 2160840374343858093_210861717 Slowly building our own tribe - Radiserne -  with like minded people.
•••
A tribe where we take care of our children at home and are not interested in the whole institutionalization, that the society expects of us. Instead we want the children to be a part of life, along side us - their primary caregivers.
•••
We all take an active part in planning activities so that the play group is kept alive. It is a play group for families who want a community, where we build strong relationships with each other and our children in between.
•••
We have a mutual respect for each other and share an understanding, that there must be room for the life, we ​​each live outside the tribe and that it sometimes can intervene with the days we see each other.
•••
And this is why this tribe is perfect for us. Because these are values we want to pass on to our children.

Instagram post 2157169405037185870_210861717 For a 1,5 years Tinka has been plagued with monthly high fever, headache and sore throat. We've spend most of the 2018 in and out of the emergency room, where for the most part the cause of the fever wasn't found. And she has in her short life span been treated with antibiotics on multiple occasions.
•••
Then last year we got a referral to the children's ambulatory. Here they did a lot of blood work on her, which all showed that her immune system worked as it should. Unfortunately that apparently meant that there was nothing else they could do, so they terminated the course of examinations. Which meant that we from now on should go through our on practitioner.
•••
The problem with this, that it didn't make her fever or pain go away. It still comes every month out of the blue, no warning whatsoever. Then about 2 months ago, my big sister tells me about a condition, PFAPA Syndrome, she had read about and she thought it fit Tinka to a T. I begin to read about it and couldn't agree more, so I write to our practitioner and demands, nicely, a thorough examination of Tinka.
•••
This culminated in a new referral, where we had our first appointment yesterday. The result of this, is that we have an open hospitalization, so when Tinka gets her fevers, she has to go to the hospital and be examined.
The pediatrician herself thought it could be PFAPA, but that Tinka has to go through a longer and throrogh course of examinations, which among other things also means, having her examined for middle ear inflammation.
•••
Whatever it turns out to be, it's just nice that we are taken seriously and something is being done about it. Since a small child shouldn't be sick all the time without any explanation.

Instagram post 2155082468172411419_210861717 It's not very often that Katharinas emotions burst out like floods and can't be contained. But today is one of those days. So we are taking the day off from playgroup, even though she was looking forward to this and first were resistant towards cancelling our plans.
•••
But after we had hugged and sung songs, she calmed a bit down and we talked about why we should stay home. She agreed that it was better to stay home and have a slow day, so we called her friends a rescheduled for tomorrow instead.
•••
This is one of the reasons why I wanted to alter the course of our lives. Slow living and on our own terms with people, whom share the same values. Being their for my kids in every way and guide them through the good and the bad. Because safe and familiar environment is important for kids to thrive and grow as individuals.

I've always known that, when I someday would've kids, I would make sure that they would have a big and close family.
•••
They adore their grandparents and have a super close relationship with them and it's rare that a week has gone by, without them spending time together.
•••
They have multiple cousins (I have 4 older siblings) and they love spending time with them. Katharina especially looks up to her cousin Rebekka, I think partly it's because she wants to be like her. Rebekka is a beautiful and compassionate girl, she's creative and real girly girl who adores my girls. Tinka just loves the attention she gets from her cousins.
•••
I really hope their relationship will flourish and last. I for one will do my part to make sure, that it only will grow stronger. So they too can make their own tribe, when they get older.

Instagram post 2143513466669145061_210861717 Last sunday my youngest daughter turned 2, while we where in Portugal. And yesterday my husband turned 36.
•••
So we, meaning me, decided that we should celebrate, when we got home from our vacation. My husband don't care for his birthday. But every year, I do celebrate him a bit anyway, by cooking his favourite meal and baking him, his favourite birthday cake with custard and bananas.
•••
However, this year we let Tinka shine on his day and invited a small part of the family, since our apartment can't contain more than 10 people. My husband handed gladly the day over to her, but I still dedicated one layer of the cake to him.
•••
We invited to afternoon cake, coffee and port (from our vaca) and afterwards we served dinner. It was a lovely day and the girls were ecstatic when the guest arrived, Tinka didn't even notice the presents. For her the guests was the presents. •••
Today I'm beat after cleaning, baking and cooking all week, but I do it gladly for my family. So today is going to be a sloooooow day, at least for me.

Instagram post 2137012914699560848_210861717 Yesterday we went to Albufeira, where we took a boat ride to see different caves along the coast of Algarve.
•••
It was a small motorized boat, so you could really feel, when we hit the waves, which Katharina loved. Tinka fell asleep 5 minutes in, so she didn't get anything out of the tour.
•••
Normally the boat can fit 11 people. And while we waited for our turn, one boat after another was filled up. When it came to our turn, we got the boat all to our selves. The captain was very sympathetic and considerate and adjusted the speed, so we didn't go so fast as they normally would do.
•••
After our boat ride, we drove up to Arco Natural, where we could see the cliffs and caves from above. The path to the observation decks was narrow and rocky, so we carried the girls on our backs. My husband carried Katharina in our @tula babycarrier and I carried Tinka in a @solnceslings woven wrap, tied as a double hammock.
