HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND

While lucky Louisa jets across to the west of Norway for a 24 hour visit, including a wedding party and Mum time (Jealous much? Me? Maybe a little. Or a lot.), we are enjoying our last day with our friends from the UK here in Dubai.

The day started with our weekend staple – a big pancake breakfast, with a whole cupboards worth of toppings to choose from; bananas, honeyed pistachios, raisins, cinnamon, natural yogurt, maple syrup, a selection of jams… Do you have any weekend traditions? For us, it’s about making sure the weekend feels special – something different from our oats and muesli weekday routine.

A little link lovin from around the web this week;

Love Ketchup? Love this recipe for homemade wonder sauce.

Love picnics. And love beautiful photos.

We’re still travelling around Copenhagen with our blog crush Justina Blakeney. Oh, sweet, mother of coolest cities in the world, Cph, you still hold a piece of our hearts.

According to Design Mom, Norwegian phone booths win. As for the rest of the country, I’m pretty sure she’ll love that, too.

HAVE A BRIGHT WEEKEND FINE FOLKS!

weekend 26.4A few links from around the web:

Every day should be Earth Day. These great party decorations are not just easy peasy and super cool looking, but they’re eco friendly, too. You can use stuff you already have at home, while cutting back on consumption and waste.

Not all girls are mean. Most girls rock. (We’re all in this together ladies!)

One of our favorite boho lifestyle bloggers, Justina Blakeney, is holidaying in Copenhagen at the moment, and gosh doesn’t that bring back fond memories for the 2sisters? If you are on instagram, follow her on #justinaincopenhagen

THE WEEKEND IS HERE. AND IT FEELS GOOD.

Don’t you agree? Whether you’ve had a hectic and trying week, a calm week, or just a plain normal week, the sound of those Friday bells ringing feels pretty nice, ey?

For us the weekend signals family time. Get stuff done time. Stay in your pyjamas till late morning time. Visit friends time. Enjoy a glass of wine time.

Wind down, and recharge time.

What does the weekend mean to you? Have you got plans?

The snow is finally, finally melting, in Oslo. The butterflies are out and spring IS here. No, really, this time it really is. This week has been… challenging. To say the least. Still, Mum is flying over to see us this weekend, so we’re good.

Dubai is heating up. This week has been HOT. And they tell me this is nothing compared to how hot it will be getting… long live a fully functioning A/C system, and a long European holiday this summer.

A few links from around the web that caught our attention this week:

Dove’s beauty campaign continues to inspire and educate us, and this brought tears to my eyes when watching it. Every woman should watch this. “Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful … we decided to conduct a compelling social experiment that explores how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see.

We are in awe of these stunning, yet frightening images. They’re completely amazing.

And this quirky and cool duo, have us laughing…. a lot. They are full of brilliant ideas and, you know,  quirky!

Have fun this weekend you lovely people, you.

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND weekend12.4 A few links for your weekend read:

Gorgeous, lovely little girl’s room. I love the curtain!

Grapefruit yoghurt cake for the weekend, anyone? YES, please. Sounds delicious.

These grilled nectarines look too good to pass too! What are your plans for the weekend?

In Dubai I have nachos and a beer waiting for me, and The Hobbit. Can’t wait.

And in Oslo? Puppy cuddles all weekend long! w15aPicMonkey Collage Camilla and Louisa xoxo

EASTER WEEKEND

How was your week? In Dubai we’ve enjoyed spending time with friends, visiting new beaches, after- dinner bike rides and decorating the house for Easter.

In Oslo however, the Easter holiday, has not entirely gone to plan. The “40yearoldhusbandwhothinksheis20″ (favorite saying this Easter), decided to finish of a sunny day skiing with one final jump. THE jump now known as the “the rib breaking jump”. At home again, an emergency visit by Gran and Grandpa, as ski-star husband is going from bad to worse. Anyway; its Easter…

weekend 29.3A few fun links for your weekend – enjoy!

Are you hosting any lunches over the Easter holidays? Here is a lovely idea for the kids table.

What a truly beautiful wedding. The hanging bottle decorations? Love. The simplicity of her stunning dress. Love? I love a good wedding (as opposed to a bad one?), how about you?

We’re digging these these cute cards by Love From Lemonade.

EASTER AND A LITTLE MOTHER’S DAY LOVEW12PicMonkey Collage~~~~~~~

20 ways to decorate Easter eggs!

Dubai eh? Often provokes emotions and a good debate! This opinion I happen to agree with, give and take a little (an inch in one paragraph, a mile and a half further down in the text)!

DIY Easter Rooster, must give this a go this weekend, egg-cellent idea. (Sorry, I just couldn’t help it..)

Let me melt your heart, and bring a little tear to your eye and smile on your face, by sharing a little Mother’s Day treat I received this morning;

Hope YOU have a fantastic weekend. Not just an “average, yeah, it was ok, kind of weekend”, but a fantastic one.

Louisa & Camilla xoxo

FRIDAY ALERT!

Was anyone else shocked by the pace of this last week? Gone by the bat of an eyelid right?

Anyway; what are your plans for this weekend? We’re excited to just CHILL and do a bit of catching up. Though I’m sure we’ll find time for the obligatory weekend family ski/swim session.

W9PicMonkey CollageHope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few links that caught our attention this week:

Did you read Joanna Goddard’s post about naked babies on the beach? Do or don’t?

I am missing my Sunday soups! Perhaps this bowl of scrumptiousness this weekend?

.. and while I’m at it, why not also make this (the secret to a non stress cake? At least it looks good!)

HAVE A SPONTANEOUS WEEKEND weekend 21.2What are your plans this weekend? Two days of non stop errands to run, friends to catch up with, parties to attend? Or perhaps a chilled one?

We love having nice things planned for the weekend, something to look forward to during the weekdays, but sometimes it’s great to just hang out. To be able to enjoy lazy pyjama mornings and long breakfasts. Catch up with your husband’s work gossip and fill him in on the latest school update. Or, just to be able to sit, quietly. That’s pretty sweet sometimes , too.

I think we sometimes get so caught in having plans all the time, we forget that just doing nothing is great, too.

It allows you to be spontaneous. Go wherever you fancy. Or not go anywhere at all.

How about you? Do you like having a plan, or keeping your diary free for impromptu, last minute adventures?

Pancakes in the morning in Oslo and Dubai. Some weekend traditions are non negotiable. Thankfully.

GLORIOUS WEEKEND AND LET’S START A COUNTDOWN

Tick tock, I think it is more than OK to start an official countdown now till the Oslo crew land in Dubai. Four days, people! That’s like.. well, less than a week. And we could not be more excited!

Too soon to make the beds up? Nah. It dawned on me that not only will they be here to celebrate a special little lady’s first birthday, but also Valentines Day. I feel a few heart shaped cookies or cakes are essential. Before then though, there’s a weekend to be enjoyed, bikes to ride, a little friends birthday to celebrate, over-indulge on weekend pancakes to, work to catch up on and a week full of memories with Greats- & Grandparents visiting to look back on and smile.
