Anastasia and Mio

Anastasia and Mio

 

My full name is…
Anastasia Jasmin Mouggari Graversen.

 

But my friends call me…
Anastasia.

 

I grew up…
In Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

My cultural background…
Is half Danish and half Algerian.

 

My bedroom windows…
Are big and fills the room with light.

 

My favourite place in the world is…
Copenhagen.

 

You will usually find me…
In Copenhagen with 1 to 3 children drinking a latte.

 

 

My children’s names…
Came out of the blue and not before we’d seen their beautiful, wrinkly faces.

 

Having twins is…
Chaotic and the biggest gift.

 

The perfect evening is…
Sleeping children, food in bed followed by snacks and a tv-show and no interruptions.

 

I find comfort in…
Knowing we have family and friends all around us.

 

The soundtrack to my life is…
Probably one by Radiohead - their sounds have been following me ever since I was a child. 

 

I am where I am today because of…
My willpower. 

 

 

  

Before becoming a mother…
I was desperate to create my own family. 

 

Right now I am…
Very excited about being alive - children are growing and business opportunities excites me. 

 

In the future I hope to…
Continuously having flexible working hours and being able to enjoy my family. 

 

Words I live by…
When in doubt, doubt the doubt. 

 

My favourite childhood memory…
Riding horses.  

 

 

 

A tradition I hope to pass down…
We don’t have many traditions but I am my happiest when our home is filled with people and food. 

 

I feel womanly when…
Breastfeeding and taking care of my children in general. 

 

The perfect scent is…
Fresh air - I’ve never been a fan of perfume, diffusers and anything with an intended scent - but nothing beats fresh air. 

 

My favourite body part…
Is all of them. 

 

 

My favourite colour is…
Brown. 

 

I relax when…
I am home and I’ve been outside taking in the city. 

 

I am moved by…
Weddings, always. 

 

I am hopeful for…
Our little family and our life together.
