Calling all mums in Oulu!!

All of a sudden we're here again and another year has passed. My eldest is now 11 and the preparation for her mini birthday shoot included debating between pairs of earrings and trying to find a hairstyle that would allow her 'dyed hair' to show.

During our recent trip to the UK over the summer, we were lucky enough to spend a week in Wales. It really is a beautiful part of the world and our little ladies loved exploring the woodlands at Betws-y-Coed in the north. A gorgeous place to spend some time.
