Up, Up We Go: Hiking with a Baby

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth August 4, 2012

Nappies. Check. Formula. Check. Baby carrier. Check. Our packing list for family hikes has definitely changed in the last nine months, but not so much the destinations. Nor the frequency we go with. The time we take on the hikes, that has definitely increased. And the amount we have to […]

Life in Pictures: Day at the Beach in Venice

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth August 2, 2012

Beautiful early spring day in Venice, Italy. No tourists, no crowds, no noise. In the summer these beaches on the Lido island just outside Venice’s touristic centre swarm with activity, but in March, it was all perfect! “Life in Pictures” is a random collection of shots from here and there, […]

I’m still working on the humongous picture editing project that I’m NOT going to mention anymore. Instead, I’m just going to get on with it. What makes everything just a tad slower is my beautiful baby girl, who would much rather cuddle, crawl around the bed and stand in the […]

Life in Pictures: Evening in Torquay, UK

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth July 6, 2012

For me the best word to describe Torquay is tired. The town is bit worn and little sad like an almost forgotten memory of something that once was. But in the evening when the light softens, even Torquay looks kind of pretty. “Life in Pictures” is a random collection of shots from […]

Gone Camping!

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth July 5, 2012

I would consider us being quite outdoorsy people. We love to kayak, hike, ski, snowboard, bike and camp. But this camping trip just wasn’t meant to be. The weather was in the borderline somewhere between sunny and stormy and we were not on the best of moods. For no reason. […]
