I don't know about you, but I can't wait for it! The summer solstice is just around the corner, which means that the days are definitely the longest of the year. People all over the world celebrate this moment, and if you want to join in too, don't miss the Swedish holiday MIDSOMMAR, which will take place on Saturday 23 June at Avion.
I am incredibly looking forward to it, because the programme for families with children is rich and the celebrations will go ahead, as always, traditionally. With weaving flower wreaths and, for example, making herbariums. Matias constantly picks and brings me flowers, so I am glad that we will finally make our own herbarium. Do you also remember from childhood drying flowers and leaves in old, thick books?! I always forgot 90% of the plants in the books and then found them there a few years later while reading. Just writing this brings back sweet childhood memories, and I want to give my children the same. Traditions are the most important thing, aren't they?! It's a pity that boys don't wear wreaths on their heads, I would love to braid them some too, in fact I do it every year and my husband scolds me for putting wreaths on the boys. If I had daughters, I would certainly learn to braid them perfectly and we would make a different one for every outfit...oh well, never mind, for this occasion I had at least my hair braided and decorated with a few flowers.
If you happen not to be into plants and flowers and are more of a gourmet, you will have fun decorating cupcakes and cooking strawberry balls. All of that right with the most qualified people from Chefparade. You will also get instructions for preparing homemade jam or syrup. Of course you can do it all together with your children and take the products home as a keepsake. So, will we all see each other there? More info here. Adjö!
...I almost forgot, of course you can also shop alongside all of this. 
Here you go, a little inspiration in the form of my outfit.
