A Beautiful Living

A mother of two, wife, historian, and communicator. I write about and am passionate about real, authentic life. Like any ordinary person trying to find meaning in everything. In a restless world where we need love, community, and connection more than ever before, I want to share about what is closest to my heart; the many nuances of motherhood. And the experience of becoming and being a mother.

I want to write about being human, and having human experiences in this time we live in. I live in Norway, in an old farmhouse from 1870, with our two children. I crave a slower life, and peacefulness. I crave being at peace, working towards a life where acceptance and love is the norm, where we can build a better world bit for bit. I fully believe that the world needs maternal love to be more peaceful and better. To get there, we need to start loving our planet and each other more.

I want to normalize experiencing the ups and downs of life, and humanize what has previously been taboo. Since my first blog in 2009, I have tried to put into words what is difficult and elusive to understand. The invisible processes that we feel, but that language does not fully capture. Motherhood is a patchwork of such processes. But so is life.

On my blog you will find reflections on my life, and my attempt to find meaning in everything. Life can be really hard. But it can also be beautiful.

I hope you’ll find it inspiring.

20150303-_DSC0255-2 Jeg er alene hjemme til i morgen og er litt ekstra fysen på noe søtt. Man tager det man haver og vips har man noe ekstra godt (helt for seg selv!): 2 modne bananer, 2 egg, 1/3 cottage cheese, 1 ss sukrin, 1ts bakepulver, 1ts natron, 1ts fiberhusk. Alt sammen kjøres til en glatt masse i kjøkkenmaskinen og la den deretter stå på i 10-15 minutter og tykne. Stekes som små lapper (vær obs på at de kan falle litt sammen). Skulle det være behov eller ønske for det må du gjerne blande inn litt havregryn. Serveres med friske bær og gresk yoghurt. Nam! tror jeg må gå å forsyne meg en ekstra gang. Sånn bare for å kvalitetssikre!

Nå venter House of Cards og litt kveldskos før senga roper meg hjem. Ha en fin kveld!
