A bemused tale of how one Dane, 2 Ethiopians, a Detroiter and an American/Dane found Pippi Longstocking's house in the Baltimore area and moved right in. Technically Pippi's house is in Sweden, but moving there would have been a commuter nightmare- so we found the closest thing to Villa Villekulla in our neck of the woods.
Our house is an old, money pit and John and I are learning to be crafty- very, very crafty. This blog is my little place to journal and post photographs of our children, Kaia (8), Josie (6) and Noah (4) as they grow, and to share my decor obsession by posting visual and tasty things I find on the internet and elsewhere.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I think I want to do a post today about my little sister.
Pernille and I have been attached at the hips our entire lives.
Here we are, little-
Pernille’s photo was taken in 1971.
Mine was taken before color film was invented.
I rarely post about my family members because I’m afraid they’ll get mad at me and stop...
I missed an entire season of blogging. It is almost spring and now I don’t even know how to get started again. I tried to post right after New Years, but the task of finding an extension cord so that I could remain firmly planted on the couch with my puter was insurmountable and...
Another month passes without a post from me. This time I have some serious excuses.
Firstly, I am making my own rugs. For every room in the house. They have to be hand stenciled, primed with gesso, hemmed, and protected with 7 coats of finish- this is time consuming. When I am not making the rugs,...
Hey- I am going to Bangkok in two days- what do you guys have planned this week?
It’s not a big deal, you see I often just hop on a plane and fly halfway around the world WITHOUT my children. I am a jet setter like that, and us jet setters are really blase about taking...
First there was the unscary ghost that hovered around our front porch all month.
Then there was that bat, that some say resembles an owl, but really looks like one of John’s socks with eyes- that took up residence in our chandelier. And I must not forget the formation of the Catonsville bike club that...
Before I bombard the internet with massive cuteness I just want to say thank you for all the supportive and uplifting comments to my last ’secret’ post. I already have so many great resources passed along to me by so many of you that I am up to my eyeballs in research and decision making,...
I have finally figured out a way to password protect posts on my blog. I am password protecting some posts to protect the privacy of my kids and my family and sometimes just so I can swear freely without getting flagged. If you are one of my regular readers or I know you please send...
