Apparently it started on 2008, at least in the US. I can not believe that I have missed it, for 4 long years. I had to ask me where I was. And after not too long mind search I realized I was in the potty training period… and that was of course why. Why I…

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
We (or I) did the choice to limit the no. of paper Christmas cards sent out by the swedish postal services. Therefore I send our Seasons greeting via this post instead (if you are a regular on FB, you got it there as well). Maybe not at personal… but it is the thought that counts……
Dame Maggie Smith
I can not believe that it took me a full season before I became a regular to the show. Downton Abbey, what a fantastic TV-series. And the part Dame Maggie Smith so fantastically portrays, is divine! I you have not started to watch it, you MUST do it now. NOW I say.
No place like home
Sitting in front the fire place (as we have it by our dining table I can’t sit in a comfy armchair), but I have two dogs to join. Nice.
Stockholm part III
We are waiting at the airport to board our plane. Full snow storm in southwest… Stockholm have been great showing herself from her best side. Christmas market at Skansen – spectacular the snow surley helped. Dirty Dancing the musical was good but not outstanding as I thought, but sure the music will always be the…
Stockholm part II
So, Sam and I (Fabian choice this week-end to become sick, so Sam was forced to accompany me) arrived safely in a snowy Stockholm. We (or I) had booked a ghost walk in Gamla stan. OK, but not especially scarry. But to do it in knee deep snow and with more coming was brilliant. What…
1st Advent
I have just returned home after a visit at the movies with my boys and a friend of Sam’s. The five legends, good. I love the sound of my boys laughing straight out. The kind of laughter which far from cultivate, but straight from the heart. Now I have pimped the house with the final…
The best day of the week
I would love to be able to title this post “My favourite time of the day”. But let’s face it, we are not there yet. But it happens at least once a week now and it is a real pleasure. My HUSBAND and I sit at while longer after dinner and talk when the boys…
Words
When the husband last week atttended an assesment, he got a question about me… What characteristics he saw in me, his wife. Smart, energetic and darn attractive. Always fun to hear good thing about oneself. In this case surprising might be considered the right choice of word. Wasn’t sure he had any thoughts about me…
Dolphins
As I mentioned before, we spent one day (or half of one) during our Key West stay, dolphin watching. Unfortunately (or not) our first arrangements with captain Sheri at Wild about dolphins got cancelled due to illness in the family. But she arranged for us to go with captain John at Dolphin watch instead. What…
T -24 days
Yes, it might be a bit over the top, I agree, especially since we just returned from the States. But I want to treat my boys equal. Not saying I should treat them the same, they are two different individuals and need different support in life. But I do not want to give more more…
We DO have the power
Your opinion IS important and you should share it, because you can make a difference. To cut to the chase and make a long story short. We have speed bumps in the street infront of our house. They have not really worked but during the summer the changed them (twice) and made the traffic situation…
Pontus Höök & formal wedding pics
We did not invite anyone to our wedding, but as we wanted you to be able to share it with us, in one way or another, we invited Pontus Höök. Pontus is a Swedish NYC based photographer. His editorial style, totally opposite my own romantic, is one of the reasons I love his pictures and…
Elvis and the Keys
We are about to arrive in sunny and warm Key West. Elvis with Jail House Rock on the radio. Can’t become more American than this.
Heading south
After some great days in Orlando we are about to head south to the Keys tomorrow. Life is grand.
20 yrs later
In June next year we have been together for 20 yrs. We celebrate it in advance wih a rooftop wedding in DA city. New York. To our help we had Pontus Höök, who took this picture and like a million more. So looking forward to see the resultat of his job. Read his blog here….
Thank you
A big thank you to the author, actor, creator etc etc Jonas Gardell. For writing “Never wipe tears without gloves“. A fantastic tvseries of love in 80’s gay world. Fantastic and leaving me with so many thoughts and aspects of life.
And everything is forgotten
Yesterday’s not so appreciated celebration of my birth was forgotten today.
Small talk
Just finished a small fika with a friend and ex colleague. Good stuff. Now time for what I am best at. Start the fire place, lit some candles and do nothing.
All you need is love
Tired, as one only can be after driving in 1.5 hrs through the worst of rains. Just after flying in from Amsterdam after 3 days of meetings. Coming home to the best of worlds. Two children so happy to see me (!) and who continue to show their affection through kisses and cuddles all evening….
Yesterday
Yesterday, was mine and Sam’s date night. To tell the truth it was more me wanting it then he needing it. After dinner, somewhat stressed we went to Rock the ballet, a little less prestigious form of ballet with different rock classics. Sam liked it a lot. He got somewhat bored in end of the…
Tick tock
It is getting late and a new working week starts tomorrow. Was shooting some pics today, and I am soooooo pleased over the result. Not so pleasing was the total melt down our oldest, who I had a fantastic great date with the other night, had just before dinner. I guess that is life. Good…
Date night
Yes, I know. A date night is supposed to be with your husband/wife/partner. But on Saturday I will have one with my oldest. I am taking Sam to the theatre watch a dance show. He would like to be able to do cool dance moves but no real desire to learn himself. But I still…
The good parent and all that
Life, what an exhausting little journey. During my years as a mother, I have come to the conclusion that it is my role, as a parent, to coach my sons after their personal conditions and character. I have also decided that I shall do this in a way that strengthens them and not by, the…
OMG!
On our way to the store this afternoon F, the little one, starting to sound words on his brother’s Donald Duck magazine. WHAT?! WHEN?! HOW?! and WHY?! My babies, my small babies are getting big and so soon!
Practice makes perfect
Words can probably not describe the Mr’s happiness that at least one of his offsprings have taken football to his heart (at least for now). Ever so often they go into the garden to practice. Fabians shots has become better, both stronger and more precision. I see the dream in the Mr’s eyes. One day…
Never ever
I sometimes amuse myself to look through my blog and what I did/where (mentally) I was exactly one, two, three, four years ago. Apparently I have never blogged on the 12 of September before. Never mind. I had a life and reading from it a pretty good one. Then as now (jeep, now I will…
To tell u the truth
I am what I am. And do you know what. I am pretty fine with that. I met an old colleague (a friend that was my colleague some time ago, not that she is old… just for the record) for a coffee the other day. We have not met much since we parted as colleagues…
What a day
It’s been awfully quite here the last week/weeks… I have started the new assignment to make the internal communication platform for the Outdoor launch (starting February) and apparently it is taking the better out of me :). I got a late (app. 1 year) sneak peek of the range the other day and I like…
Let’s try it again
My clip of our friend who managed get the full Parken arena (50.000) in Copenhagen do the wave just before Coldplay’s concert is far from ready… But http://www.Charlottebundgaard.dk has a clip from it. It didn’t work earlier today. We sit about 25 m to her left. I actually hear my self at one time (at…
A piece of heaven
Just returned from a short trip to Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen. The reason for our trip were Chris, Jonny, Guy and Will. The four awesome members of a group called Coldplay. It was a long time I was at a concert of such celebrate. For me Coldplay is foremost subtle. But the show yesterday was nothing…
Love
True love is simple, it could be to prepare tonight’s dinner even if you are not home your self.
Time in forrest
Today, a very tired Mr and one not so tired me, took the brothers and the dogs for a forrest walk. I never been the biggest advocate for the forrest, I am a more a beach and ocean person. But I have to say together with the Mr, the kids and the dogs, also the…
Time flies
Had a party booked and no babysitter… What to do, what to do. Why not leave the kiddos at home alone for a while… Said and done and went perfect! I am home now and shortly thereafter they fell asleep. My boys ate getting big! 💜
Fun!
I posted one picture on my business’ Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ogonblickavLouise ) and am just amazed of the effect and thankful for all nice comments. Add another one here.
School
Today school started. Fabian was all in as it was his first day at school. Sam was more reluctant if still positive. When the day ended it was quite alright anyway.
Why I am happy
There are many reasons to be happy. I have found mine. And here they are:
Right here, right now
We’re at Nimis. Just for the record, I am so happy.
Enjoying
Watching the closing ceremony of the London olympics. What a show! Will be hard to beat that Rio. But remember to always look on the bright side of life 😀
Today
A pic (or two) say more than a 1000 words.
Visiting family
Today’s outing was to Buddy’s breeder. There he got the chance to catch up with his sister, mum and grandmother. They clearly showed who decided. Lot’s of play was the result and left him quite tired. Fabian and Buddy’s grandma found a connection. Have some great pics, just need them to travel through space first.
Windy Varberg
Today’s outing was Varberg. And what a windy day it was. Perfect for surfers. We saw a number of kite surfers hitting the waves. The destination for our execursion was Varberg fortress. We ran out of time for the vampire exhibition :(, but the Bockstens man and a dramatized tour of the fortress we did….
Friendship
Tuesday, four friends came together from different parts of the country. One I have known for over 30 (! OMG) years, the others  from high school, which means a good 20… The social media thing makes its easier to stay in touch and be updated, but that isn’t what it is about. It is the…
Bros
As you know, life as a mother can have its up’s and down’s to say the least. I don’t try to paint the picture more beautiful than it is. But I appreciate it massively when it is good. Like times like this.
Life changes
This afternoon the thunder rolled on our upper floor. For once I was not part of it. And just now Sam and I had a really good laugh. U know, when you laugh so hard you cry and tummy hurts. Good to be reminded of. Life always change. For good and bad. And one better…
V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.
Officially, vacation starts on Monday. But already now I have done most things needed on a vacation. Sorting. Sorted all Sam’s old clothes to Fabian. Now Fabian have an updated wardrobe and does actually not need any more clothes. Relax. Went to the beach twice for more then 30 minutes (probably a world record for…
Relaxed
Dinner soon ready. Kids home. Been to the beach all afternoon. 1 st day of vacation is over and I am already relaxed.
