To the Best Mother on Earth (literally!)

There she is, Annelies Hall. Gorgeous mother of three and an amazing wife!

We are blessed to get to travel with the bestest Mother in the whole world. We know, because we’ve been traveling the world for a year with her!

She keeps us well fed, clean, entertained, with lots of things to do and is an amazing planner. We can’t imagine what life would be without this amazing woman! Here are some of our favorite moments throughout the year with her, a bit of an homage to Annelies Hall!
