Condensation and mould are a dirty, secret subject, something many of us suffer with in our homes, but we suffer in silence. In a world of Insta ready, pristine interiors, it can seem like you may be the only one with this frustrating problem and so, when I mentioned my troubles on Instagram early last…

Christmas Time.
Writing here has become progressively harder for me this year, not just because I seem to be so short on time, but also the longer I go between blog posts, the more I start doubting myself and the ideas I have to share. I question whether it’s actually of interest and am I just being…
The Alice in Scandiland Shop Gift Guide.
Last minute larry here with my gift guide, but better late than never, right?! You can easily shop this gift guide as I’ve created a special section on the online shop, you can find it here. I really enjoyed putting this edit together, even if I only decided to do it and hour and a…
Easy Reads For Under 10s.
If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll already know that we are quite partial to a lovely book in our house and recently I have been adding to our collection. Sadly I haven’t read a book for myself in quite some time, I’m just completely unable to concentrate, as my mind soon diverts to…
This is Six.
An absolutely huge thank you to Ali Green for using her wonderful, creative skills to reduce my to-do list. The cake was absolute heaven and you really must go show Ali some love, she is an incredible food/ lifestyle photographer with the knack for capturing a moment in time and the mood perfectly.
A weekend in Copenhagen – Hay House.
I can’t believe it was 4 weekends ago that I was in Copenhagen and I haven’t written a word about it here! Though, to be fair to myself, the 1 year anniversary of the Alice in Scandiland Shop, then flying to Denmark the next day, walking about 100 miles that weekend, straight home and into…
An Instagram Guide to Copenhagen.
It’s suddenly dawned on me that I am off to Copenhagen next weekend and I have definitely not given it the attention this little trip deserves. The Summer brings with it the children being off school and the Alice in Scandiland Shop getting even busier, so my thoughts and energy have been spent juggling those…
Going a little Greener – Picnicking.
Life has been such a busy juggling act these last months, with everyone having to make compromises along the way, especially the children. I definitely haven’t been around as much as they or I would like, but I try not to feel guilty, they know it won’t be forever, it’s just that right now I’m…
The shop that Alice built.
Technically that title is misleading, it should read “The shop that Alice’s Dad tirelessly gave all his time and energy to Alice to build for her, rarely arguing and eye rolling her many overly detailed, overly ambitious plans and time frames”. But I thought that was a little less catchy, so I’ll stick with the…
Nancy’s Bedroom Do-Over – The Inspiration.
I’ve suddenly realised that I have started Nancy’s room revamp, but, beyond the stories I have shared over on Instagram, I haven’t shown you a proper breakdown of my plan. Perhaps this is because I rarely have a full plan in place, but I’ll share my inspiration with you, to give an idea of where…
