My simple Scandinavian life / A happy, ordinary life / silent vlog Norway / Life with a dog
Maybe many people would call my life boring. But I couldn't be happier with my "dull", ordinary life!
I find joy in small things, like surprising my boyfriend with a sweet treat after work, watch tv, talk about our day, play with my dog, and going for city walks early Saturday morning.
Not being productive all the time is OK. Just existing and enjoying the little things is nice.

It's nice to see one of these simple life videos in a more urban area, it shows we don't need to be isolated in nature to appreciate the ordinary

One of the things I really like about your vlog is that it shows simple slow living in the city with no special visual or any other effects. It's raw. It's honest. It's about life as it is. It's about all of us. Or, at least, many of us. Most of other similar vlogs usually feature living a simple, slow and "authentic" life somewhere deep in the countryside in a nice cottage with a flower field outside of it and a lot of cute decorations inside; the sun shining brightly, the sky all painted perfect blue, birds chirping merrily and butterflies fluttering around. My issue with this kind of vlogs is that they seem somewhat unrealistic to me. A fantasy. A dream. Normally, they are very carefully staged and meticulously polished. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, whenever I happen to watch such a video, I often feel uncomfortable and hesitant as if I take one further step and I am lured into a trap. But, of course, it's just my perspective, and others don't have to agree with it. Cheers!

I really appreciate your thoughtful comment. I must admit I have had a fantasy about living in a beautiful cottage in the countryside and have a quiet (photogentic) life. But in reality, that would never work for me because I need my job in the city to survive. Also, the city can be a nice place even if it’s noisy and crowded at times. So I just try to do document my life as honestly and simply as I can without any fancy effects or expensive equipment, hoping that my short videos will encourage someone out there to see the beauty of this ordinary and «boring» city life. And I guess my hope is that people can appreciate their own surroundings, even if it’s not glamorous and spectacular.

I embrace simple slow city living, and find it to be really satisfying. A quiet night at home, making an extra effort to cook a nice dinner, maybe inspired by Jamie Oliver, with a glass of red, can really light up my life. Keeping an open mind, and cultivating imagination and being able to learn new things is good too. There are nice parks to visit and gardens to access nature. Sure, I like to travel now and then, but I don't want to be hostage to a bucket list. Tx for your channel. That little dog seems such a great little character.
Is it just me or what? I truly find this type of vlog therapeutic.

❤ Mochi magic ❤ I love her to bits! And seeing her listening so intently, cocking her head from side to side in a great effort to understand exactly what you are telling her, is utterly adorable! She’s such a happy, well balanced puppy! Well done, Dads! I really enjoyed seeing the historical and modern architecture featured in this video - Oslo looks like a beautiful, clean city. There also appears to be plenty of parkland/open spaces for enjoying walks in a much more natural setting. Mochi clearly has a wonderful time on her walks and she’s growing into a well built little girl. I had not seen a fridge turntable before - what a great idea - you are no doubt feeling well pleased with having cleaned and reorganised your fridge.

I really love it when Mochi cocks her head from side to side like that. It’s so cute! And yes, Oslo has a lot of parks and green spaces. It’s both green and urban which I love. That being said, it is definitely not as beautiful as my home town Bergen which you were lucky to visit 🥰 There is a friendly rivalry between the cities as Bergen used to be the capital, but is now forever the number two city🥹
This little dog is so cute😘😘😘

Thank you for this -- everything about it made me happy! (And made me subscribe.) Number ONE: ❤ Mochi ❤. That eager, curious little face. The shaking-while-walking (haha, I love it when they do that). The hopeful offering of the Sacred Green Toy. The relaxed, sleepy little body at the end. Mochi loves you and you love Mochi and that's all that needs to be said. This makes me want to live in Oslo; the city looks beautiful. And I really like your apartment. The flowers ... ❤ Quite satisfying watching you scrub down that refrigerator and neatly restock it. A quiet life marked by order, contentment, love, and beauty is a wonderful thing. We've got it all wrong here in the USA -- fame, fortune, money, possessions, Instagram followers, blah blah blah -- these are not the keys to a happy life. Thanks again.

Hello and thank you for this thoughtful and kind comment. When I read something like this, it makes me really happy! You noticed so many details in the vlog, that’s so nice! Like the sacred green toy💖 We seem to share a similar outlook in life. I wish more people could see that you don’t need a lot to be happy. In my opinion, chasing fame, endless hunt for expensive things, just make people unhappy in the long run. I hope you have a peaceful week❤️
