I’m Emelie, founder and author here at Time Ahead Sweden. I’m a mother of three and passionate about the environment and sustainable parenting. My interest in sustainable choices in everyday life took off when I became a parent for the first time. I found it challenging, and honestly difficult, to find good options for a sustainable lifestyle as a parent.

My ambition is to inspire others about the benefits of sustainable lifestyle choices. At Time Ahead Sweden, I share my insights and experiences on how small changes can make a big difference – from sustainable diapering options to minimalism in daily life.
