Instagram post 2159750214435513135_189381734 I felt Eula's Moomin Birthday Cake deserved it's own place on my grid, especially as it represents the thing I love most about this funny, little app. I'm here for the inspiration, for the visual overload, for the escapism but most of all for the connections. It's so important to remember the social in social media, because otherwise we become isolated, overwhelmed and lose touch with reality. I am so fortunate to have made some wonderful real world connections through Instagram, even more so since opening the @aliceinscandilandshop When someone comes to visit the store or attend one of my workshops it's lovely to put a face to a profile and that's exactly what happened with the wonderfully talented @workbyali Ali is a hugely talented food and lifestyle photographer based in Cornwall. She's also a really talented baker and she helped me out in a really busy week by making Eula's Birthday Cake, all beautiful and delicious and ready for me to Moominify. I can't thank her enough for taking the pressure off this spread too thin Mama and for making Eula's day. White Chocolate + homemade Blackberry Jam? Yes please! My phone snap doesn't do it justice, go give her seriously inspiring account a follow and be prepared to want to jump into your screen to eat her glorious foody images! . . . . . #cakespiration #moomins #cakedecorating #myhomevibe #ourkidslivehere #howihome #liveauthentic #livethelittlethings #interior_design #thehappynow #kidsstuff #moomin #cakestyling #finelittleday #nordicstyle #scandinavianstyle #interior_and_living #moominworld #moomintroll #ekbbhome #birthdaycake #cake #cakesofinstagram #nordicliving #scandinavianhome #mitthem #interiør #interiørmagasinet #nestandthrive #myhyggehome
Instagram post 2159021882446333281_189381734 Hi there, so, does anyone remember that I once had quite a popular blog - where I used to write pretty frequently? Nah, me neither...it has been SO long! But tonight, head over there to see and read all about Eula's 6th birthday, which we have been celebrating today. Link in my bio or over in stories. Oh how I love laying a Birthday Table. . . . . . #partydecor #myhomevibe #howihome #interior123 #ourkidslivehere #childhoodunplugged #tablescape #partyinspiration #kidsstuff #onthetable #kitcheninspo #nordicliving #finelittleday #thebrighthome #thehappynow #mycuratedaesthetic #mitthem #interiør #interiørmagasinet #merimeri #kidsparty #kidspartyideas #interiorboom #cornerofmyhome #birthdaytablesetting #myhyggehome #nestandthrive #myhometoinspire #interior_and_living #actualinstagramhomes

Instagram post 2156114600611965724_189381734 I made a 2 minute wreath today, using a few foraged things from the garden. It's not my best work, but it was an enjoyable little quiet moment in the fresh air and it reminded me how much I need those unconsciously mindful breaks. . . . . . #embracingtheseasons #autumnstyle #myhomevibe #howivintage #thisautumnlife #aseasonalshift #mitthem #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interiordetails #mycuratedaesthetic #mynordicroom #scandinavianhome #abmhome #ekbbhome #apartmenttherapy #botanicalforagersunitedsocietyinc #underthefloralspell #onthewall #interieur #realhomesofinstagram #finelittleday #nordicstyle #scandinavianstyle #wreathsofinstagram #interior_and_decor #botanicalpickmeup #interiorandliving #interiordecorating #cornerofmyhome

Instagram post 2152493947518313573_189381734 I'm going to be working the whole weekend, but this will be my office, it's not so shabby really. Do you all have wondrous plans? I feel the full hibernation/ recluse part of my personality taking over lately, I just want to light the fire, stay in my Asda Loungewear and eat all day. It's not just me, right?! . . . . . #interiorinspo #homestyle #bathroominspo #myhomevibe #ikeaatmine #ikeahack #ikeahacks #aliceinscandilandshop #lovelostwithiel #cornwall #interior123 #interior4u #homestyling #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #sorealhomes #interior_and_living #mycosyhome #interieurs #mitthem #interiør #interiørmagasinet #nordicstyle #nordicliving #bathroom #theshopkeepers #bathroomstyling #mycuratedaesthetic #slowliving #livethelittlethings
Instagram post 2151041726247286124_189381734 Through walls of glass the world outside becomes the decoration. The mood of this space changes with the wind, one moment hot, bright and gleaming, the next dark and moody. A storm can be raging outside and you are in the belly of it, aware of it's presense but happy in your role as spectator, safe, warm. Sometimes the rain is so loud you can't hear your own thoughts, but I love those moments, where nature reminds you it is right there, proving it's free will. We stop and listen, it is a welcomed interruption in a life of technological distractions. We are always busy looking in, into a screen, into ourselves, our wants and our own needs, but it is so important to remember to look out from time to time, to be a spectator to something we will never have control of. A reminder that it shouldn't just be about us. . . . . . #slowliving #earthinspiredhome #nesttoimpress #interiors #interieur #realhomesofinstagram #designsponge #myhyggehome #howivintage #myhomevibe #mitthem #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #interiordetails #ourkidslivehere #cornerofmyhome #mynordicroom #interiorboom #interiorstyling #gardenroom #conservatory #insideoutsideliving #kidsspace #scandinavianhome #thehappynow #embracenature #mycuratedaesthetic #pocketofmyhome #interiorandliving
Instagram post 2149598398419016247_189381734 This afternoon I pushed all the mess out of shot and pretended I was done in Nancy's room. I'm really not, but edging closer and closer. I am the owner of a house that is a bit smaller than I would like, but really, when I think about it, does everything we need it to and a bit more. However, when I get carried away with ideas, heading off down a Pinterest fueled inspiration rabbit hole, the house grows and grows in my mind, a bit like Alice herself. I wake from wild dreams of freestanding bathtubs and lofty ceiling heights, to the reality that that just isn't our home. And I'm ok with that, most of the time. Until, that is, one of my ideas requires those aforementioned lofty ceiling heights. Fingers crossed this absolutely beautiful Solar System Mobile can magically do it's thing once it finds it's way to the modest ceiling of this late 60s semi bedroom. This is shaping up to absolutely be my most favourite room in the house.

Instagram post 2147431941316670637_189381734 I hardly ever miss the "Dark Phase" in the living room, I certainly DO NOT miss Shiny Paintgate, were you here for that?! But there was something very cosy about this whole setup and now that the stress of it all is far enough behind me, the rose tinted part of my brain says, "doesn't this look like somewhere you'd like to be right now?" *Please don't ask for the paint colour, it's Valspar and I would not recommend. . . . . . #myhomevibe #mitthem #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #interiordetails #ourkidslivehere #howihome #myhome #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interiordetails #mycuratedaesthetic #mynordicroom #scandinavianhome #abmhome #ekbbhome #sodomino #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #interior_and_living #mycosyhome #interieurs #livingroomstyle #styleitdark #myhyggehome #nestandthrive #myhometoinspire #sorealhomes #interior_and_decor
Instagram post 2145966716503462072_189381734 The older they get, the more I'd like Nancy and Eula to be aware of where their food comes from, what goes into making it, why what it's packaged in is important and it's my belief it is never too soon to talk about these things with children. Whilst out shopping for packed lunch bits and bobs, it became painfully apparent that the lure of a P...P...P Penguin or some such biscuit is just too great to a 5 and 7 year old and so the fact they're generously slathered in not only chocolate, but plastic too, is completely lost on them. But this week, whilst food shopping and having the usual aisle based moral/ environmental/ convenience battle with myself and small, hormonal, bright coloured packaging influenced children, I declared we would make our own. Hurrah went the children, groan went me. I love the romanticized idea of baking with my children, but the reality is not the stuff my childhood memories are made of. I have come to the conclusion that, whilst I stood over a giant vat of bubbling, molten Marmalade or pondering how to lick clean a rotating electric hand whisk, my Gran, with whom I baked with regularly, must have started on the Sherry early. It really does just bring out the worst in all of us, what's that about?! We were only making bloody Granola Bars for goodness sake! But anyway, I am hoping to start a little recipe book with Nancy, of ideas she can have a go at herself with relative safety, so I would love to know what you make at home with your children. Brownie points for ideas that have a healthy, balanced vibe to them x . . . . . #ourkidslivehere #myhomevibe #inthekitchen #motherofdaughters #interior123 #interior4u #homestyle #mitthem #mumlife #kidsstuff #realhomesofinstagram #designsponge #ekbbhome #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #sorealhomes #kitchenstyle #kitcheninspo #nordicliving #scandinavianstyle #kitchendesign #mynordicroom #scandinavianhome #nordicdesign #finelittleday #howihome #interiørmagasinet #interiør #thehappynow #mycuratedaesthetic

Instagram post 2140172908499212165_189381734 Getting home means fitting back into daily life, it can all seem rather dreary and mundane after being away, but I also love the familiarity of it. We had a meal at the kitchen table tonight (remove the wonderfully home cooked roast you see here and insert a supermarket bought microwave curry - I haven't even unpacked yet, I have no time for cooking!) It's good to be here, even if it does look as though we've been burgled - we haven't, it's just the result of dumping everything everywhere last night and falling into bed a bit stressed and exhausted.

Instagram post 2138411642512432499_189381734 Another year older today, never much wiser. I thought now would be a good time to say hello to all my new followers and say thank you to all those who have stuck around these past few years. How about a little introduction for those that don't really know me? Hi, I'm Alice and I live in Cornwall with my husband and 2 daughters. Several years ago I started writing the Alice in Scandiland Blog and much to my surprise people actually seemed interested in what I was talking about. I hope by following me you gain a little insight into our life of staying put, living within our means, making our modest, end of terrace, late 60s home work for us. A few years ago we were at a point where we were bursting at the seams, we had outgrown our home and it looked as though the only option was to mortgage up, a lot and tie ourselves into another few decades of debt. But instead, we chose differently, we had an extension built, a much more affordable option and have worked hard to make what we have enough. Along this journey many things have changed, most notably, last year I opened the @aliceinscandilandshop in Lostwithiel. I hope you enjoy my little squares, thanks for popping over x Photo by Colin Poole for @housebeautifuluk . . . . . #myhomevibe #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #homestyle #mitthem #interiors #interiorstyling #thisisme #ekbbhome #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #sorealhomes #interior_and_living #mycosyhome #interieurs #kitchenstyle #kitcheninspo #nordicliving #scandinavianstyle #howtheyhome #myhyggehome #kitchendesign #interiør #interieur #realhomesofinstagram #designsponge #lovecornwall #mycuratedaesthetic #mynordicroom
