the girl effect

 

Hi lovelys, I am back from an amazing vacation, babymoon, with my man. It rained quite a lot but we were able to get some rest and quality time together. I was going to do a few of my tips from Mallorca as my frist post back but I decided that needed to post this video first. So Mallorca tips will just have to wait a little. The Girl Effect wants to eradicate poverty and raise the standard of living in the develping world in a simple and effective away. Watch the video. You might remeber this video? They are so powerful. The graphics beautiful.

Hope you are happy and well! xx - Joanna

Happy Monday my lovely readers! I hope you had a great weekend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all of your super sweet comments and emails with warm wishes and congrats. They warmed my heart and put such a big smile on my face. Some even put a little tear in my eye, "Life as you know it is about to take an other dimension that is beyond beautiful... ", Sasha (Everything Fabulous). Sometimes this all feels so surreal and it is hard to understand that there is a baby growing inside of me. So again thank you for all of your wonderful comments and emails.

I promise that I will not turn simple blueprint into a baby-blog. But I might post a few more things from within this new world that I am entering. And if you like I will share updates from time to time on my pregnancy. Also I hope this explains why my posting is a little less frequent now days. I just don't have as much energy to post everyday.

Jesper and I left for Spain yesterday for a little Babymoon. We are going to enjoy 10 amazing days in Palma, Mallorca. I am very much in need of a time out and rest. Take a time out from work and just spend time with my man and land in what is to come... So if I find time I will post, if I don't feel like it I wont. :) Have a happy week! xx - Joanna

surprise! we're having a baby!

 

Hello my sweet darling readers. Yes, it is true, we're going to have a baby! We are expecting our first child! I am 24 weeks, about 5 1/2 months, and due January 25th.

I promise you I have had every sort of feeling ever: I am scared, nervous, excited, anxious and most of all extremely thrilled & happy! It has been a crazy time with my body going through lots of changes, such as hormones taking me for a ride, iron deficiency (since I don't eat meat) making me even more tiered than tiered, forgetting everything, being extra sensitive and lately I have not been able to fit into any of my clothes (just to name a few)! We cannot wait to welcome this little boy into the world and shower him with love. It is an amazing time filled with lots of unknown! I am trying to enjoy every second. 

I am happy to finally share our big news with you. The photo is of us (Jespers hands & my big belly - that is just going to keep getting bigger and bigger :) and it was taken a few days ago by Anna Moller (check out her blog here).
