I’m very good at many things (almost everything), but there is one thing that I would say there is one thing I’m a liiiiiiiiitle better at than many of you (not that it’s a competition), and that is. to treat myself. To treat my self a going to the theater watching plays, music, musicals and…

When in Rome
After almost 15 years we did it. A only grown-up vacation. 4 days and 4 nights we were away from the children. Together with dear friends we went to Rome to celebrate love. As couples we’ve been together for 25 years. Our friends have been married for 15 and the Mr and I celebrated our…
Dreams
I admire the people who dare to go after their dreams. Like Lilly here. She’s a great performer, who not only loves writing and singing music, she does it. And she does it well.
Flashback
Facebook presented a clip of new version of an oldie goldie (yes, anything from the 90’s or earlier counts as that). Just as I said when I shared the clip. A good song is always a good song and everything becomes better with age. I loved this song in 1997 and even more in 2017. Gets…
19+4 and counting
So we were late to it. After a little over 19 years together and two kids born in sin, we tied the knot 4 years ago. It was just the two of us and the two wonders we made. Just like we wanted it. Swedish New York based photographer Pontus Höök captured our day and…
Final episode
So, what are my last favorite songs that I want to share, that have been (are) important to me. I’ll end with two. Both will be played at my funeral. Fame, remember the TV-show? I wanted to be Coco. I just LOVE Irene Cara’s lead song and I do believe there is a hidden statement in it…
Favourites eps. 6
I really suck at this challenge. But here is three songs connected to the two most people in my life. My kids. This song I know I danced a lot to together with Sam when he was baby. While this was a HUGE hit in the summer of 2006, when I carried Fabian in my arms. And…
Favorites eps. 4
Back from the States, I was a young adult with life a ahead of me. Party was my middle name, but just during the weekends… We took turns driving to the cities were the clubs were (or not the first 6 months because Helena was the only one with a drivers license) and danced, laughed and…
Mini week-end
We went to Gothenburg on a mini week-end with a hotel stay and with our goal set on the amusement park Liseberg. For the first time I didn’t go on any rides. Last year’s encounter with the ride Helix, made me take the decision. Maybe for life. (I love rides for the ride, but my balance…
To Russia with love
As Pride is going on in Russia at the moment, let’s listen to this tune made by my former colleague. To Russia, and anyone else who has “a problem” with same sex relations.
This spring’s favourite
This is what I play over and over again in the car going to my customers. The longer commute the better.
The Melody festival
In Sweden the national qualifying for the Eurovision is called “Melodifestivalen”, the Melody festival. As a young girl (as a vast number of girls then and now) I loved the Melodifestivalen. I get very nostalgic (as usual) when I hear old songs and I get surprised how much of the lyrics I know by heart even…
A day filled
After a day with a visit to the theatre for some ballet (watching) I am ending it with watching Westlife’s goodbye consert and am surprised that I know so many of their song’s lyrics…
Season’s greetings
From us to you. Happy holidays and best wishes for that awesome 2015.
Cuteness alert
Call me superficial. Call me sexist. But hey, that is me. Here is Thomas Holm, danish musician who (apparently) has made at least one good song (if you, like me like easy going happy pop songs). If easy breezy pops songs ain’t your thing, but cute, beared men are – mute and watch (Scandinavian men do…
Stockholm and Peter Jöback
For some time now, my sister and I never give each other any birthday presents or Christmas gifts. Instead we do something together once a year. Usually a concert. Or a musical. Or a play. Personally I prefer anything with Peter Jöback. This year our budget let us go to Stockholm where we went madly shopping…
Changing my mind
Some blog posts back I said that yoga was da shit. Now, I have now changed my mind. Dance is DA shit. I love to dance. I never got the chance as a child as my mum really is a combination of the Wicked witch of the West, Snowwhite’s AND Cinderella’s step mothers (no she…
To spell happiness
Happiness can be spelled in so many ways. Like : “Finding your product-id for your Office software after you needed to reinstall your computer”. (And here was supposed to be a video from the 90’s of a song with the words “Hapappapy …ppy.. Feel when wee’re together..” But now I spent 30 minutes looking for it…
Music is good for the soul
For me, music is liberating, it goes diectly into my soul and I cry and laugh to it. It doesn’t matter what kind it is, as long as it makes you feel good, it is good. This song makes me feel good, makes me happy: Com’ on peeps, sing out loud and dance!
40 is the new 20, party people and gratitude
I will share some pictures from a surprise birthday party we went to yesterday. What an honor for us, what a surprise for the birthday child and what a day, evening, night and morning it was. The scenery could not be much better, the party was set at the beautiful Tosterup castle, the weather was…
WRONG!
Something is totally wrong here. Totally messed up. Week-end over?! WTF. It was so much better to be employed working part time – NOT! Let’s sing it!
Today’s words
I’ll keep it short today. This is how I feel. Darn good song to. Once again, the heck with Jante
Proud to be Swedish
There are many reasons to why I am proud to be Swedish. In general Swedes could be better at being proud. This was something I found very liberating when living in the US, to be “allowed” to be proud; over my team, my school, myself etc etc. This time I will share an example of…
Disappointed
Know what, the best albums of the one and only Mr van Morrison is not available on Spotify. I am talking about; Enlightenment, Hymns to the silence and Too long in exile. I am sure he has his reasons but for me that ain’t good enough. Now I need to go to You Tube.
All you need is…
… music, or really any form of art. But I would say, despite my unexisting musical sense, music is the form of art which, with ease, can bring you to the same level of high, which I believe (without knowing), the substabce abusers are going for. I mentioned this in this post. At the monent…
