1- FAMILIES COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES, EACH WITH ITS UNIQUE STORY. HOW DOES YOUR FAMILY LOOK LIKE?

MY FAMILY CONSISTS OF ME, MY HUSBAND MAX, AND OUR 1.5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, WHOM WE OFTEN REFER TO AS BOBO OR BABY B. AND WE LIVE IN MALMÖ, SWEDEN.

2- WHAT DOES HOME MEAN TO YOU?

HOME IS EVERYTHING TO ME - IT’S MY SPACE. IT’S WHERE I SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WHERE I RECHARGE MY BATTERIES. IT’S WHERE I'M MOST CREATIVE.

3- IS THERE A SPECIFIC ITEM OR SPOT IN YOUR HOME THAT HOLDS SENTIMENTAL VALUE OR AN INTERESTING STORY?

OUR DINNER TABLE - WE BOUGHT IT BEFORE WE EVEN MOVED IN AND WERE SO NERVOUS IT WOULD BE TOO BIG. BUT I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND SAW MYSELF HOSTING FRIENDS AND FAMILY AROUND IT. IT’S THE CENTERPIECE OF OUR APARTMENT. AND NOW I LOVE IT EVEN MORE BEING ABLE TO SHARE MEALS WITH MY DAUGHTER. IT’S A SPECIAL PIECE NOW AND WILL BE JUST AS SPECIAL IN THE FUTURE TOO.

4- DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY AROUND? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

I’M VERY BLESSED TO HAVE A LARGE COMMUNITY AROUND ME - FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN A LOVELY, CHAOTIC MIX. SOME FRIENDS I'VE HAD FOR YEARS, AND OTHERS ARE NEWER TO THE MIX. IT MAKES MY HEART VERY FULL TO KNOW THAT MY DAUGHTER WILL GROW UP WITH SO MANY LOVING PEOPLE AROUND HER.

5- ONE OF THE BIGGEST STRUGGLES IN OUR FAMILY IS TO FIND OUT WHAT TO COOK, SPECIALLY FOR DINNER... WOULD YOU SHARE YOUR NUMBER 1 FAMILY DINNER (OR BREAKFAST) RECIPE?

I WOULD SAY IT’S EITHER SPAGHETTI ALLA PUTTANESCA OR BANANA PANCAKES, BOTH LOVED BY MY DAUGHTER. MY SECRET THING REGARDING THE PASTA IS TO OVEN-BAKE THE TOMATO SAUCE. SUPER EASY, AND IT TASTES LIKE IT’S BEEN COOKING FOR HOURS.

6- AT YOUR HOME, WHO IS USING YOUR MINIMONO AND FOR WHAT?

OUR MINIMONO HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR KITCHEN. WE GROWN-UPS USE IT TO REACH THE OVERHEAD STORAGE, BUT MY DAUGHTER IS THE ONE WHO USES IT THE MOST. IT’S THE PERFECT AID FOR TODDLERS LEARNING TO STAND UP. IT’S ALSO THE PERFECT DISTRACTION FOR HER WHEN I COOK, AS SHE PLACES STUFF ON THE STEPS AND PRACTICES HER GYMNASTICS.

THANKS SANNA FOR YOUR SWEET ANSWERS!
