We were waiting for the second trimester to begin and after our family and closest friends knew about it to tell the good news here. Baby #3 is on the way!
Me and Tobias were “trying but not trying”, and last november I started feeling queasy in the mornings which made me run to the drugstore for a test. Guess what? Positive! We’ve been over the moon eversince. Gus and Mercy are so excited to be older siblings. Angus hopes it’ll be a boy this time around.

Hello, how is everyone? Today I’m here to talk a little about our small home, the SS Jupiter, as I like to call her. This houseboat has been my faithful companion for over 3 years, way before my boy Angus was even a thought.
I bought the boat structure in a clearance sale from a very shady seller and had to rebuild the house part almost entirely. Thank goodness the engine was in good condition! After a lot of trip to building & construction stores (and a few tears and anger fits), and with the help of Tobias and my dad, we turned a total disaster into this:
As I travelled around, I collected almost all the pieces of furniture and decoration I have. Now, the house is filled to the brim with children’s toys!
This is our home. The scenario is not always the same, but the warm feeling you get when you arrive home is just as a land one. Hope you loved it as much as I do!
I still want to do a complete tour of the inside, so stay tuned!
