So I went to London, I ate plenty of good food, drank the whisky and met some wonderful people too. But Christina, you went to London to write! I didn't see a lot of Insta stories of you doing that, so how fruitful was the trip really? It was even more fruitful and creative than... Continue Reading →
'Can I get a double Laphroaig on the rocks please?' It started there. The bartender looked at me questingly. I'm used to that by now. I guess I just don't look like the girl who would order a smoky whisky. Apparently he wasn't that used to selling any kind of whisky apart from Jack or... Continue Reading →
As parents, we often feel the need to come across as the strong protector. The one that can chase away the things that hurt. We put on the band-aids, we comfort, we give advice, and we tell our kids that it's perfectly normal to be sad, and to cry. But for some reason, no matter... Continue Reading →

Christmas is the most magical time of the year, or so I used to think. For as long as I can remember, I've had a crazy amount of Christmas spirit. Starting to watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music in October, unable to wait for December to arrive to decorate my apartment, having the... Continue Reading →
Leander and I have taken some smaller trips together over the years, but we've never actually had the opportunity to travel by plane anywhere, just the two of us. So for Leander's 11th birthday this year, I booked us a trip to London. We were going to do the Harry Potter Studio Tour, but unfortunately,... Continue Reading →
There are places, sounds, smells, and sensations that are linked to not only specific timeframes and memories but also to people and feelings.
