Welcome to A Beautiful Living! 🌿 I'm a mother of two, wife, historian, and communicator, living in Norway in an old farmhouse from 1870. Here, I celebrate slow living, rural life, and the journey of matrescence. Like any ordinary person, I'm trying to find meaning in everything. In a restless world where we need love, community, and connection more than ever before, I share about what's closest to my heart: the many nuances of motherhood and the experience of becoming and being a mother. I believe in a slower life, where acceptance and love are the norm, and where we can build a better world bit by bit. Since my first blog in 2009, I've tried to put into words what is difficult and elusive to understand, humanizing what has previously been taboo. Motherhood is a patchwork of such processes. On my blog and Instagram (@amongthemeadows), you'll find reflections on my life, embracing the ups and downs, and finding beauty in everyday moments in the tranquil meadows of Norway. Let's spread maternal love and make the world a more peaceful and better place together.
All in Do It Yourself
So, now I want to show you everything we have documented about our big celebration. Oh, what a journey this has been for us. We've learned so much about ourselves. For better and for worse. Getting married is really not just a happy occasion, I have to admit that. It can really be exhausting too! But if we look away from that, It's also wonderful and a very unique and special moment that cannot be compared with anything else.
I really dont have any clue about how chemicals works, but I know they affect us. Some can affect our hormons and they can irritate our skin. We're exposed to them everywhere we go, and some of them are bad for you and some of them are not. This is as far as my knowledge of this subject goes, but as far as I'm concerned about my own body; I know that chemicals found in skincare, shampoo, body lotions and cleaning supplies can irritate my skin. So I've tried to switch to products that's as "skin friendly" as possible. This also affects the way I clean.
