friday favorites

Pictures © Eric Fokke


Hipp hipp hurra, snilleste mammaen min har sponset tur nordover i nyttårshelga på meg og Casper og jeg kunne ikke vært mer fornøyd!

I år hadde jeg hverken julefri eller råd til flybilletten nordover siden Casper skal flytte hit og enda ikke har funnet seg jobb og siden vi må kjøpe masse nytt til leiligheten vår. Men mamsen liker nå engang å få alle barna hjem til jul og da får hun det stort sett som hun vil! Så etter en feriesøknad om et par dager fri på nyåret og en sponset billett senere så er det i boks.

Vinteren er nesten fineste tida i Nord Norge spør du meg, og jeg gleder meg til nordlys, mørketid, innekos, julemat og godt selskap på brygga nedi fjæra!

Så denne ukens fredagsfavoritt er dedikert til fineste mamsen på jord
og til vakre Vesterålen! Vi gleder oss stort til å komme hjem å bli bortskjemt i et par dager igjen. 

Denne uken har jammen bare vært høydepunkter og
ingen skuffelser så langt - ha en finfin helg søtnoser :)

Well, maybe not for Christmas, but at least for New Year!

My mom is just the best! She splashed out for tickets for me and Cas to go home and visit them from the 30th of December to the 4th of January and I could not be more thrilled.

We were not able to afford it ourselves this time around with the moving and Cas being out of a job and all the things we need to buy for our apartment, but my mom like to get all her kids home for Christmas and would not take no for an answer. How sweet is she?!

Winter is by far my favorite season to visit home. The constant dusk, the aurora borealis, the food, the company and our little cabin by the sea.

So this week's Friday favorite is for the best mom ever and for the most gorgeous little place on earth! I can't wait to get back home and get spoiled rotten for a few days again. This week has just been all highs and no lows :)

and are all taken in Lofoten and Vesterålen where I am from. Lovely huh? ~

  6. What amazing photographs-I don't blame you for wanting to go home! Both our parents insisted we were home for Christmas this year (we had our first Christmas alone last year) so they both shelled out for tickets-horray!

  8. I don't celebrate Christmas/new year but I love that time of year with the hustle and bustle of people rushing around, the christmas decorations etc... I can appreciate it as I don't feel stressed with having to buy gifts/prepare.

    That is so nice of your mum to pay for you and cas to go over to see them, that is so sweet and a great present :)

  10. These pictures-- and that little ferret dude!! My new screensaver, no joke. :)

    Christmas it the absolute best. I'm not much for the cold, but Christmas gives me something to hold on to. :)

    I hope you're having a perfectly wonderful November day. I apologize for slacking with commenting-- I've been busy (isn't that always the excuse, though?).

    Love Always,
    Amber

    Happy for you!
    Those photos are brilliant and I just wish I could be there myself at this time of year. it is my long time dream to watch the aurora borealis and doing so from a cabin by the sea sounds too perfect!!
