I T I S February. Already. Same every year. We just celebrated and boom… time flies. Then I like to remind myself that ‘time flies when you are having fun’.
Today I am in Copenhagen. First meeting an old friend and then a new friend. Life is indeed fun.
And then it is the week end. Did I tell you that we adopted the Swedish “Friday night is Taco night’ tradition? The kids love it. We love it because it is quick to make and yummy. Do you have something you do/eat/make on Fridays to start the week end?
Garlicky Butternut Squash Noodles with Spinach and Ricotta. I love zoodles {Zucchini noodles} – now I want to try the butternut version. This recipe looks so yummy. Especially with the weather outside – comfort food!
The interview series we started exclusively for our newsletter is very popular. Make sure you are subscribed!
Great DIY idea that does not look too tricky to do but your kids will love it!
How did your year start? I hope with lots of laughter, fun and happiness… so much that it keeps on rolling for the rest of the year.
We celebrated New Year’s in Athens this year and soon Iwill share some great tips and things to do with kids in this wonderful city.
The trade show season started as well and I will be at Pitti Bimbo, Playtime Paris and CIFF Copenhagen this year. It would be lovely to see you there if you are around. I am very much looking forward to it. With the baby and our summer trip I skipped quite a few the last months.

And have you spotted the porcelain crown? Oh my…
Everything is hand made and therefore original. If there is an item that you like and it says; sold out – get in touch with the shop and pre-order.
These pieces make such great and special gifts – for your loved ones or for yourself.
During our flight to Athens (where we arrived this Wednesday) I was thinking that it could be really fun to do a little round up here on the blog.
Feature the best/ most read posts for example. I mean, I was really curious to investigate as well. Which topics do you guys love? What are you interested in etc…
And it is a lovely way to finish the year and take a little break from the blog and social media. Refreshing actually. [read more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]
Let’s start:
The TOP FIVE posts on Paul & Paula in 2016, in order:
1. Willieandmillie. These fun kids room accessories from Sweden!
2. The Animals Observatory. In January I introduced you to this new brand and their very first collection.
Our weekly series of family breakfasts is very popular as well. Every Saturday.
And we started something new. Every Monday I will take a picture of all four (YES a challenge) kids. For fun and to see them grow and change… I am sure it will be cool to compare the first picture with the last of the year 2017. Please join – they grow up so quickly!
And our road trip of course. Oh man… the best thing ever and we still feel the energy and sunshine!
And personal in 2016?
*I quit sugar! (big step and good step, Christmas time saw some exceptions… but good ones)
*I started to run! (still not the biggest fan buuuuuut I feel that I need it. This is good and does good.)
*Both things make me proud. Proud that I am able to stay strong. And I feel great. Best base for a mum and business owner.
*I decided to go for it. To grow Paul & Paula. Something I wanted to do for a long time and always hesitated. During our big trip I decided to just go for it. (you see what such a break can do to you)
And what is in it for 2017?
I will share a few little things that will make you want more:
*Our newsletter will get an exciting and exclusive feature. As of 2017 every newsletter will come with an inspiring interview. Small business owners will share their best tips, tricks and some -new – private stuff.
*To celebrate the New Year we will host a fantastic give away in partnership with STOKKE! Oh yes… you must, again, make sure to follow us on this one.
*I also mentioned that Paul & Paula will see some changes. And that is still true. I am working on it. For some time and things take different directions sometimes. Need a little more time. But: The consulting part that I already offer will grow. Will be more professional and will take more of my time. I love it. I love to work with brands, shops and other people from the kids industry and help them grow.
Ninn Apouladaki is a French brand that creates extraordinary masks.
Influenced by Slavic tradition with a vibrant homage to nature. Wear them to parties, give them as a little {special} gift or use them the same way you use jewels.
For some extra fun for your little one’s next birthday dash – get a colouring set and let the kids colour their own masks using some creative skills.
The brand was launched by Ninn and her husband Guillaume. The first mask was designed with their wedding in sight and the idea of seeing their guests celebrating with art like masks. [read more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]
The couple is based in Marseille, France and opened a workshop-shop in the Saint-Victor neighborhood. If you are around you must find it!
Besides the masks, Ninn Apouladaki also creates stationery, sacred herbs, tote bags and paper lanterns.
The t-shirts show the characters you know from the masks and are true eye catchers. I love the delicate illustrations!
If you are looking for something fun, different and very dreamy – this is your thing.
