Jordbunden og rejsevant.
It’s been 31 hours. I haven’t cooked. I haven’t cleaned. I haven’t picked up any dirty socks or hairbands. I haven’t been interrupted by girls asking for stuff and attention. I have worked. And spent quite some time on the couch. Watched TV. Read a book. Alone. Only with Ben and Jerry to keep me company … More Home alone – with Ben & Jerry
Today I am the mother of a teenager. Not just the mother of little girls but the mother of a tall, whimsical and beautiful daughter turning 13. Ellen is excited to be celebrating her birthday but doesn’t pay much attention to the fact that she is now officially a teenager. Her two sisters on the other … More The mother of a teenage girl
We’re back on track in this Danish way of life, For the last seven weeks we have hugged, kissed and embraced the life we knew. We have turned an empty house into a home with our things from storage and new favorites from New Jersey. We have devoured favorite foods, visited much loved people and … More The honeymoon is over
Det tog sin tid at blive koblet til omverdenen igen. Laaaang tid hvis du spørger pigerne. Men egentlig også en fin tid i en lille wifi-fri boble. Hyggeligt bestemt. Mindre skærmtid og mere face up. Og upraktisk i en tid hvor der er sådan cirka en million praktiske ting der skal klares online. Registrering ved kommune, læge, … More Hello wifi my old friend
Vi er hjemme. Vi er tilbage. Tilbage til rødderne. Tilbage til vores dejlige hus på Rosenhøj. Tilbage blandt venner og familie. Og koldskål. Rugbrød og ostemadder. Friske ærter og nye kartofler. Lyse nætter. Køligere sommertemperaturer. Cykler. Trampolin og legehus. Legeaftaler uden bilkørsel. Skovduft og sommerblomster. Det er så fint. Vi er glade og vil leve … More Now what – The Nielsens are home
The view from our rented Hoboken apartment has the most amazing view of Manhattan. It really is extraordinary and seems like a fitting scenery for the very last night of this American adventure. It’s time to say farewell. Tomorrow at 5.35 pm we will board the SAS flight in Newark Liberty International Airport with 10 … More A farewell with a view
For en stund har vi lagt Rainbow Drive helt og aldeles bag os. Og vi har udskudt tanken om alle de praktiske ting der skal klares, naar vi snart er tilbage i Danmark igen. For vi holder ferie. Vi holder ferie som aldrig før. I totalt luksuriøst mexicansk ferieparadis under bagende sol og med direkte … More Viva la vida
Vi er heldige. Endnu en gang. Da flyttebilen forlod Rainbow Drive og vi triste gik en runde i det tomme hus var vi ikke spor ivrige efter at koere mod den lejede lejlighed i Hoboken. Efter en god nats soevn var vi dog noget mere optimistiske og fik en fin uge i vores nye hood. Vi fik vendt en … More Home Sweet Hoboken
I imagine and hope that my kids will one day be sitting by a bonfire with friends, singing “Bye bye Miss American Pie”. And I hope they will remember how they got to learn the lyrics on a trip to Colorado (where their mean parents insisted on playing Don McLean instead of Justin Bieber). I … More Bye bye Miss American Pie
Since my last post, three things have been brought to my attention – by people who know me well. Rather, people who know me well in this NJ expat life that is now almost coming to an end. They felt that I wasn’t entirely accurate in my description of what I will miss once I … More Shopping, wedding dresses and IPA
