London with Kids Museum of Childhood

Living in London with kids is in many ways a great pleasure with a variety of places to explore. There is always a new area, exhibition, a play or a cafe you haven’t yet tried out.
The girls loves exploring London and last year we’ve made an agreement that we would go on a weekly outing. We have a wish list over things to do, then choose one from the list and go straight after School once a week -on our very own little adventure.

One of our favourite museums in London is The V&A Museum of Childhood located less than 5 minutes walk from Bethnal Green underground station. Open from 10:00 until 17:45 every day with free entry this museum is very much about exploring. The girls loves it as it’s so much to see and do. They have various of exhibitions and events to which is worth checking out when you plan your trip. There is a cafe if you get hungry and also a lunch room where you can enjoy your packed lunch. And a small museum shop on your way out with lovely little gifts for your child (or for their friends coming birthday parties)





Here are some of the ideas we had last year, on what do do in London with kids.

I’ll definitely try to share more of our kid friendly urban adventures with you this year. And if you have any cracking good ideas of places, galleries, activities or events in London this year that shouldn’t be missed -please do let us know!

Traditional children’s party

Amélie had two birthday invitations for this weekend. Yesterday’s party was a traditionally pass-the-parcel-birthday party. Amélie wore a traditional smock dress by Powell Craft yesterday. And with her she brought a little present wrapped in simple wrapping paper made beautiful when themed with a greeting card from Belle & Boo. Both British brands worth checking out.


Today’s party was a football party, so all beautiful party dresses were left in the closet whilst little fashionista left the house wearing Nova Star from top to toe.

Little Scandinavian visiting Tate Modern

Tate Modern is a must visit on a regular basis, offering a range of free activities for kids.
There is the weekend Session for families in addition to special events for half term. There is also a Family Zone open during gallery hours with fun activities. You can also get hold of a Children’s Multimedia Guide to Tate Modern to get more out of your visit.

Our Little Scandinavians seems to enjoy it all but better than anything is the delicious hot chocolate in the top floor restaurant combined with the spectacular view -nothing beats that!

Autumn memories with Monamici

Last weekend, when we had such beautiful autumn weather, we met up with the Scandinavian photographer Mi Bewick.

Mi is a Scandinavian photographer, who’s been living and working in London and Brighton for the last 12 years. Mi grew up in the Scandinavian countryside, where she got used to the vast open spaces with subdued colours and people, animals and nature close at heart. She carried on to make a career in the cities of Stockholm, New York and London, and has finally set new roots in the beautiful, quaint, yet trendy city by the sea, Brighton&Hove.

With her eyes for delicate details and a heart filled with inspiration from Scandinavian heritage, we couldn’t help falling in love in the moments Mi captured so well. To see more of Mi’s gorgeous photos or to book a photo session visit mibewick.co.uk

The girls are wearing clothes from one of our favourite Swedish brands, Monamici. Visit to see more AW10 and to shop online or to find your nearest retailer. www.moamici.se
The clothing has an absolutely beautiful finish, lots of details and feels so luxuries yet with a clean and simple cut. Beatrice is wearing the Lucy blouse £62, the Marilyn skirt £52 and the wool mix Martha sweater £66.
Amélie is wearing the Karolin dress £65. All items are from their AW10 collection, available in the shops now.

It’s raining it’s pouring …

Little Scandinavian had planned a photo shoot today, but with the amounts of rain pouring down it doesn’t look like the outdoor event will take place today after all.
Shame, as we were really looking forward to meet the photographer Mi Bewick and to see some fantastic autumn winter outfits in glorious autumn surroundings!
Second thought, considering the season we’re in, we should have gone with rainwear!

But no worries! We’ll reschedule to a dryer day, and of course post the result here.

Meanwhile here’s a picture of Amélie, wearing a waterproof jacket from Helly Hansen and singing in the rain.

Today’s quote

Amélie’s friend, Harry 5yrs, declared on a sunny afternoon as they walked together over the famous new bridge (built in the 18th century) in Ronda, Spain:

I will marry you, Amélie.
But not now! I’ll have to go to university first.

I would need to be at least 15 years old!
