I love to see/hear snippets of your relationship with your son. As a mother of an adult son myself, I know the importance of staying in touch and connected, but also respecting his autonomy and space. You are a good mama.
Maybe I am being too honest, but I am going through dark times when it comes to my family, and I feel like I have lost people who used to be the most important in my life ie my mom and my brother. So when you spend time with your son so casually and just go shopping or eat a cake it makes me simultaniously incredibly sad because of my situation and incredibly happy for you and your son. It is so beautiful to have such a lovely relationship with your family and I wish you and your son a lot more sunsets and lunches and warm afternoons and birthdays and trips to ikea and evenings at home. And I hope to be able to see small snippets of those in some of your future videos. Those who are surrounded with their family and closest friends are the luckiest people in the world. I wish you and your son all the best and a wonderful future ❤
Everything you did describes my perfect day! Spending time with a friend, eating, antiquing, seeing my kids, art museum, taking a walk and at the end of the day, relaxing with a cocktail and my fur babies! You have created a blessed life, Benita! Well done! Amy fran Minnesota ❤️🤓
It was interesting to see the architecture, the galleries, antique shops, the canal, etc. I have never been to Sweden, but one of my sisters has been there and she loved it! Both of my paternal grandparents were born in Sweden. They emigrated to North America in the early 1900’s. Visiting Sweden is on my bucket list. It’s always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. Thank you! ❤️🦋🌺
I know what you mean about feeling uncomfortable in wine bars. I got brave and asked the staff to recommend a wine. They asked my preferences (dry, white etc) and suggested a couple and I chose based on name :). This worked a treat - they know wine and seemed really pleased to be asked. And I got to enjoy a lovely glass of good wine.
Thank you for the deep breath and positive vibes this brings to my week. I went to ( and enjoyed) Stockholm a few times in the past so it's always nice to see more of it & to remember some great time. Wishing you a better health and some energizing daily walks again
Hello Benita 😀 - I love going to antique shops, thrift stores and used book shops - usually I am browsing and it is a nice way to spend the day. I also enjoy art galleries - the ones you featured are so cute, love all of the little nooks to explore. ❤ Going for lunch or dinner after is always a nice way to end the day - and I love going to our IKEA for lunch! Your bus ride is so scenic - along the canal - that is such a beautiful area to walk or ride a bike. I have the same white containers you purchased for your fridge - I use them in my closet to organize cleaning supplies and other stuff in there (I also need to make a trip to IKEA for some plants). Seeing Mini😺 and Bonus😺 always puts a smile on my face🥰 - Thank you for sharing, enjoy the rest of your week! 💞
I was born in Stockholm (live in the US now) so these videos are so nostalgic! I always have the urge to go back! ❤️ I love your videos, they’ve helped me so much in setting up my first apartment
Thank you for the positiv vibes and for the little snippets from Stockholm. I have a great longing for the city, the people there and all the beautiful places.
I bought a food processor just so I could make carrot cake! It’s a real time saver as far as grating carrots. The food at Gast looked delicious. Glad you weren’t without a washer & dryer too long. Even if we’re a subscriber does it still help your channel if we give the video a “like”?
So uplifting today, thank you! I needed that. You always have such beautiful filming. Videos are always a very calming interlude in my day. Cheers & best wishes from Bloomington, Indiana, USA.
Hi Benita, I love it when you do this kind of video now and again - Stockholm is on our travel list, not sure when we'll get there, but it's fun dreaming about it!
Hi Benita. I enjoyed watching this new video. At last you had time meeting with family and friends this time. Hope to see you doing more of this as I know it makes you feel good and happy. Kudos to another awesome video. Stay safe always.
I am so happy everything is blooming and becoming green again, seeing people walking underneath the cherry trees in your video. The dreaded cold days are over. Galleries and musea make a person happy, plus, getting along with child and partner is a huge plus., kitties complete all.
I always love your day in the life videos. Thanks for another one--so fun to see Stockholm and how you fill your days off with places that inspire and people who matter most.
Balcony tidying-up is relatable, inspiring, and informative (using can containers neatly under a bench, placing a pot of flowers on a surface here and there, etc.) as I have a small balcony and always wondered how I can improve it while watching your pleasant patio :)
Thank you for the coupon code for Lily Silk and for sharing your days around town, just lovely. I too enjoy walking in the mornings. Also, love seeing your beautiful cats. Take care Benita 🌞
I am a morning walker also and often have a thought for you when I get ready to step out at 7am. Glad you are resuming this activity. Thank you for the city tour. I enjoyed it very much. Regards, Joane from Montreal, Canada. 🤗
Thank you for the amazing tour of Stockholm and peek into your adventures, Benita! Everything looks so lovely, especially the second museum exhibit - and of course the footage of kitty's toe beans. 😺 Something about cat toes and puppy noses is just so sweet. I love to wander IKEA too, it really is its own destination even if one doesn't have much to shop for. And lunch is a real treat there! Hoping you have a lovely weekend!
Benita, thank you for sharing your beautiful city and island with us. I loved your time in the different galleries. In fact, I rewound those sections to view again! The orange wine sounds like it would be refreshing in the spring and summer months. On a practical note..... it is amazing your washer and dryer lasted 20 years. Doesn't happen with our choices in the States.
Postcard from Stockholm. Lovely video, coffee, cake and a bus called Shaky! Also the riddle of the minimalist in the antique shop solved by the restorative power of browsing 😌 Thank you 🙏
This might just be my absolute favorite video that you’ve done so far. I love joining you in your beautiful city. Hope that you are feeling well these days 😉
Oh, how I miss Stockholm!! I loved visiting when I worked for Electrolux. I no longer work there but their washer dryers are the best in the world. Truly!
Den här videon får mig verkligen att bli sugen på att besöka Stockholm snart! Det var så himla länge sen med pandemi och allt… 🍷 jag väljer alltid vin med en fin etikett, vi har våra metoder 😃
Thanks for sharing. It’s beautiful. I had the same issue with my washer/dryer combo and had to buy a new set. Yours lasted 20 years and that’s awesome. Unfortunately, mine just worked for 7 years.🤦🏻♀️
Wow. I thought Sweden would be cold, yet you’re doing beautiful planting and have cherry blossoms out! Still brown and ugly on the Canadian prairies. Thank you for another beautiful video.
Lovely stroll around the city with you. My sister grew up in Gothenburg and I visited once as a child but remember very little (except for a gusty storm on a viking boat ⛵) I really enjoy your content and your simple way of life 💕 Take care.
If you're looking for sources, I've tried to collect as many as I can here: www.benitalarsson.com/sources
Everything is so beautiful, but what made this video even more special are your kitties 😻🥰💖
They are my favorites too 😊
I agree =)😻😺
I love to see/hear snippets of your relationship with your son. As a mother of an adult son myself, I know the importance of staying in touch and connected, but also respecting his autonomy and space. You are a good mama.
I am worried that if I visit Stockholm, I will fall in love with it and never want to leave!
Haha, that may well happen, it's a pretty city!
It happened to my boyfriend and I, so be careful haha.
I just had the same thoughts! 😂

You are not alone in this, and yes, it's bittersweet watching these sorts of videos 😐
Thank you for sharing this. I do feel very lucky to have such a great relationship with my son, his girlfriend and by best friends.
Thank you for taking us out around the city today, so enjoyable. Just love when you do this, so interesting. Enjoy your day .
Thank you for sharing days in your life visiting Stockholm, meeting with friends, and running errands. Have a good day! Jenny USA

They were really great days! Aside from the washing machine breaking🤣
You are such a sweet Mom!! I bet Willi was so pleased to see that beautiful balcony. What a transformation in a short amount of time. 😍
Loved the opening with the kitties. The site seeing was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your DITL! 🤩😸😻

Thanks Benita! Great video, as always. Your message of the simple things are the best things inspires me.
I'm so happy you find inspiration in my videos!
The pink flowers on the trees are so beautiful and tell us that the spring is here. Stockholm looks like a very nice city.
Thank you for the deep breath and positive vibes this brings to my week. I went to ( and enjoyed) Stockholm a few times in the past so it's always nice to see more of it & to remember some great time. Wishing you a better health and some energizing daily walks again
I’m back at it, walking daily and it feels SO good!

Those containers are so useful! I've used them in other peoples homes but these were my first!
Stockholm looks so clean and nice.It is on one of my many bucket lists.Thrifting is great retail therapy.Have a wonderful mother's day Sunday 😊💛
Definitely worth a visit! Mothers Day is the last Sunday in May over here but Happy Mothers day if you're celebrating this weekend!
Lunch and browsing at ikea is one of my favorite things too!
😍😍 Thanks for sharing more of your beautiful city, and some ways you enjoy it.
Enjoyed Vila’s apartment tour, loved the plants and his dining table. Good to catch up with friends 🤗.
The balcony table was his gift on the day. The floor slopes so this keeps the table top level!
How satisfying was to see Willie's balcony transformation, I bet he was very pleased with it! Lovely video!
It is so soothing. I love your way of living.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I was born in Stockholm (live in the US now) so these videos are so nostalgic! I always have the urge to go back! ❤️
I love your videos, they’ve helped me so much in setting up my first apartment
I'm so happy to know the videos have been useful to you!
Thank you for showing us around your city. Very beautiful. Glad you're over your cold and well enough to enjoy your walks again 😄
I like looking into your days in Stockholm. Thank you for taking us around 🙂
I love the pink rainbow cloud circles behind the buildings
Thanks so much for watching!
What a lovely video, thanks for showing us some of your time in Stockholm!
Thank you for the positiv vibes and for the little snippets from Stockholm. I have a great longing for the city, the people there and all the beautiful places.
Gorgeous video,Benita. Thank you. These are always my favourite. I like seeing what you get up to. It’s very interesting.
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoy them!

Buying new appliances is always a bit of an ordeal but they came in the end. And yes, do please "like", it helps A LOT! Thank you!😘
Surprise planting, this made me smile. Thanks Benita :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
So uplifting today, thank you! I needed that. You always have such beautiful filming. Videos are always a very calming interlude in my day. Cheers & best wishes from Bloomington, Indiana, USA.
Aww, thank you so much!
Those were exactly the things I like to do on a day out. How lovely.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love seeing where you live and spending the day with you!
Loved seeing a little slice of life, with Mini and Bonus too, thank you for taking us around with you! Stockholm looks like such a beautiful city.
Thank you so much for watching!
Loved to see more of Stockholm, the cherry trees were beautiful...
Glad you enjoyed it!
My father’s family came from Sweden and I’ve always been very curious about it. Thanks for sharing life outside of your apartment!
🇬🇧 Stockholm looks lovely, be a great weekend trip one day. And what a mothers touch does 🤗 your sons balcony looked much better 🪴
Hi Benita, I love it when you do this kind of video now and again - Stockholm is on our travel list, not sure when we'll get there, but it's fun dreaming about it!
Stockholm is definitely worth a visit!

I love Stockholm so much, thank you Benita for curating the best of the city.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a lovely mum to do the surprise planting 👏 Loved having a sneek peek at Stokholm
You’ve given me some ideas for some fun things to do over the summer season!!! Museums will be first on my list!! Stockholm is beautiful!!!
I’ve always wanted to visit Stockholm. Thank you!!
You should definitely visit Stockholm sometime, it's beautiful here!
I am a morning walker also and often have a thought for you when I get ready to step out at 7am. Glad you are resuming this activity. Thank you for the city tour. I enjoyed it very much. Regards, Joane from Montreal, Canada. 🤗

Aww, thank you so much!
Stockholm is absolutely beautiful and your captures bring more beauty to the city
Aww, thank you so much!
Really enjoyed the video and getting a glimpse of Stockholm. Thanks!
Love the idea of surprise planting 💕
Bad luck about your laundry machines, glad you were able to replace them pretty quickly. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
I love your videos and I get excited when you post new ones! Your life inspires me, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!

The balcony tidy up and planting looked so beautiful 😍.
Thank you, I really enjoyed doing it!
@@BenitaLarsson I'm sure that your son and his partner were very pleased with the results 👌☺️
Smashing as always Benita , you made a super job of the balcony ❤️
Thank you! I had so much fun doing it!
That was very enjoyable! Thank you for the tour, would be happy to see more of Stockholm.
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind!
Postcard from Stockholm. Lovely video, coffee, cake and a bus called Shaky! Also the riddle of the minimalist in the antique shop solved by the restorative power of browsing 😌 Thank you 🙏
Haha, yes Old Touch is a bit much but it's a shop that I used to like looking in when I also lived in this part of town so I still enjoy it!
Your videos are so comforting to me. I look forward to every one that you post.
I’m so happy you enjoy them!
Hello, Benita! Your clothes machine was so brave! The place that sells plant and flowers is very special
Thank you, Benita, for the glimpses into your life. I miss Stockholm...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing that was so relaxing and satisfying to watch🌞😁😎🙏hi from Sydney. Happy Mother's Day 💐
Thank you for the video, Stockholm is so beautiful! And now I just have this inspiration to bake a carrot cake:)
It really is a very pretty city 😊
I love FIKA! I live in Seattle so the idea of a coffee ritual is SACRED to me. Carrot cake so yummy...☕
I love fika too!
Loved this video! It’s interesting to watch your life outside of the house!
Glad you enjoyed it! It's fun making these!
Loved watching it. O and kitty from the starting to the end busy on its own 💕to both of you
This might just be my absolute favorite video that you’ve done so far. I love joining you in your beautiful city. Hope that you are feeling well these days 😉
Loved this video! So fun to tag along on your outings ☀️☀️☀️
Grazie mille per il giro a Stoccolma, e' una bella città e anche belle mostre Buona Settimana 🪴🌱
Thanks so much for watching!
So pretty-enjoyed seeing the tour of your city! Carrot cake is so delicious!
Oh, how I miss Stockholm!! I loved visiting when I worked for Electrolux.
I no longer work there but their washer dryers are the best in the world. Truly!
I had to go with what was in stock so I went with AEG this time, but good to know!

Aww, that makes me so happy to hear!
Wow. I thought Sweden would be cold, yet you’re doing beautiful planting and have cherry blossoms out! Still brown and ugly on the Canadian prairies. Thank you for another beautiful video.
Lovely video, Benita. It was like I had taken one cleansing exhale for 11 minutes.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!
Looks like a nice balanced week excluding machine breakdowns.
Yes, apart from that it was great!😅
As someone who uses public transport, I really enjoyed this video :)
They was such a fun video 🤗 Makes me wanna visit Stockholm so much now ☺️
Happy Spring, Benita! 🌼
This was just what I needed to see, we are visiting Stockholm in July and this made me even more excited to travel again.
Yay! Have a great stay!
Always love your videos, Benita. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I'm so glad you enjoy them!
Interesting stroy - thanks for making the video and sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
Mini truly does look mini in the opening shot.
Great video to watch with my morning cup of tea! Thanks for sharing!!💕
Thank you so much for watching!
I love Lily Silks pillow cases 💕
Aren't they the best?!🙌🏻
Loved the video, as always ❤ And Happy Mothers Day, Benita!
Thanks to you, my husband and I spent Easter weekend in Stockholm xx
Hope you enjoyed it!
Nice to see an 'out and about 'video. Stockholm looks lovely and the blossom trees... so pretty 🌸🌸
Stockholm is a very pretty city!
I have always loved art galleries and this one was beautiful! This one I would have really enjoyed walking through.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, hopefully you can visit sometime!
Any day that includes Carl Larrson & carrot cake is a good one! Also, great job on the balcony ❤️
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for your generosity sharing your day, Benita. Loved this video as much as all the ones you upload. Best from Amycapdet 🙌🏻💐
Stockholm looks so beautiful, thank you for sharing. Loved seeing the galleries, also...I have Carl Larsson Envy, the Ett Hem exhibition 😍
I might actually be able to see the Carl Larsson home in person in June and I'll definitely try and capture that for a video!
@@BenitaLarsson ohhh myyyyyyy! Please do!
