Who am I and what am I doing here?

Hello there! I'm a woman in my late twenties, Norwegian, mama of two little girls (aged two months and 5 years). I'm married and we live in a remote location in the south(ish) east of Norway. We've been here for four years now and we love it. We have two dog, several rabbits (flemish giants and french lop) and lots of other animals grazing outside our front door. Horses, cows, sheep, goats, geese, chickens, turkeys... So as you probably can imagine - we live "in the country". We don't own a farm, but our neighbors are mainly small scale farmers, and we're hoping to turn our lot into a high yield permaculture garden - some day...

This blog will be about "the ordinary stuff" - moments and glimpses of our everyday lives. To give you an idea of what that includes and what I probably will write about - here are some of the things that are important to us:

Permaculture. Simple living. Thinking globally, acting locally. Paganism. "Traditional" Scandinavian shamanism. Asatru. Attachment/connection parenting. Photography and film making. Stop motion animation. Creative, poetic and thought provoking documentaries. Crafting and creating. Knitting. Crafting with kids. Writing. Thriftshops and fleamarkets. Anything and everything vintage. Food. Cooking. Vegetarianism. Preserving food. Herbs. Country living. Small scale farming. Self sufficiency. Gardening in general. The vegetable garden. Creating stuff out of willow. Animals. Natural building. Educational philosophies and (natural) learning. Waldorf education. And still more...

We'll be so happy if you leave us a comment!
