Villa Villekulla bio picture

Welcome to Villa Kulla!

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!

Exciting Times.

Wow….Since the end of the presidential race, I have been completely devoid of things to blog about.
What is that old saying? ‘If you don’t have anything to blog about, for the love of God, don’t blog!!’
I think I might have just made that up- besides I rarely follow my own advice. So...

Finally Five- and the Best Present of All!

Here is our big girl J- who has been bouncing into our bed at the crack of dawn each morning this past week to ask if today perhaps was the day that she would become five years old. Her coveted birthday finally came yesterday, it was the longest week of her life, I am sure....

Smart People I Know (well sorta know)
