Darn cold

Get out if my system now. I am seriously thinking that it might be allergies, cause it ain’t getting any better or any worse. I just want it gone. NOW!

Hurt

Oh, how it  hurts bad when you see your loved ones being hurt. I will never get used to this. I am aware that it is my hurt and not my loved one’s and that I need to put it into perspective and not to make it bigger than it really is. But it still…

Not much

Not much is happening in Skottorp at the moment. I have terrible cold and feel really sorry for myself. The Mr and I have decided to have a date, we meet in the sofa with a film. So after our dog walk we are claiming the TV and sofa downstairs and force the kids to…

Pissed off

Today I got very upset at work. I guess there is a risk (a very small one, but still) to tell you why. But I choose the path of freedom of speech. After all, I have already told my employer that I am upset and why. So IF they by any microscopic chance read this…

Mum I love you

Today (soon yesterday), it was Mother’s day. I just want to say that I have the best mum. Love you. For all the advise, time and effort you have given me. Love you.

Oh, what a day

Yesterday night ended with the awesome win for Loreen and Sweden in ESC. The whole family watched the voting, which usually is sooooo boring, and we screamed after each full point she got! Congrats to Loreen, people like you make me so proud to be Swedish. Today was Mother’s day but for most it was…

F as in Friday and film

Now it is here, my short on-line film for my photography business. I love it. The film had not been possible without: Tim Ciasto and his Visualife.me. So if you need a film for personal (wedding perhaps) or business reasons he is the one to give the assignment to. Beautiful Eva and her children, who did…

Heads up

On Friday I will premier my short on-line commercial for my photography business “ögonblick av Louise”. I am SO happy with the result! The film was made my by the brilliant Tim Ciasto and http://www.visulife.me. He should definitely stop his day job and get more into this filming business. He is creative, cares for details,…

Up in gear

Time: 12.31 (am) Status: Wide awake Reason for status: unfortunatly not for napping away all day. Things I am proud of: my children my partner. My children are so different but I so proud over both of them. Fabian played soccer cup all day (more or less) and didn’t win a single game, but fought…

Film day

Today, we (I and with the help of some friends) are going to make a film. A sort of commercial for my photography business. It is going to be exciting. I feel some butterflies in my belly. Have you made a commercial lately?

Zoo

Went to a small zoo today. Especially Sam LOVES animals, that’s for sure. Followed by crash fika at a friend’s. Ending the day with a surprise invitation to the playground and a marathon of Dowton Abbey, brittish costume series I missed. Tomorrow it is film time!

Too much

The Mr has been working the night shift three nights in a row. Combine with the fact that the kids haven’t had anyone to play with more than each-other have gotten me to run out of ideas what to do (and I am poor at getting ideas in the first place). I just conclude that…

School

Today parents to the children of pre-schoolers were invited to visit the school. So we did. Fabian is very excited and a little nervous what is about to come. Mum is surprised and somewhat heart-broken about the pace time flies.

Remember

To not take things out of context. To teach yours there many screwed up people out there, and all yours can do is to stand up for them selves and to not accept false accusations. NEVER!

My busfrö

Fabian has started to scare me. It is very easy prank as I am easily scared and the effect is approx 400%, I scream and I scream loud! Neadless to say, he loves it!

Have I told you?

How much I love my children? If not, I will now. After dinner tonight it was time for the usual dog walk. Our youngest was joinung us with his kick-bike. As he opened the gate our lively Ridgeback sneaked out and off he went down the road, in a speed only seen when chasing lions…

Wonderful

The weekend and day can be summarized in obe word “wonderful”. Friends, family, mr Love, children good weather and great photography. What more could a girl ask for? Me and Sam had our SSS (Sam’s social Sunday) and was going for Belgian waffels. But the place to get them hadn’t open so it became: ice-cream,…

Provoked

As a frequent reader of this blog, you will know that there are few things that provoke me more than the usage or, in this case, non-usage of the Swedish parent insurance… A post in the latest issue of Swedish mother glam magazine “Mama” made me tick, big time. A Swedish mother complained that she…

No 2

Here it is. Second rubarb pie of the year. This time on own harvest!

Bergen

Today I went to Bergen, Norway over the day. So three countries in a day…. Apparently Bergen is rainy. Rainy but pretty.

Fly me

Everybody who knows me, knows I love technology (as long as it works). I finally got to fly with Norwegian airlines, that has wifi on board. I shouldn’t need to be off line for this 1:10 flight!

Worth mentioning again

I know I said it before, but it is worth mentioning again. I love to live close to the ocean. The beach becomes the best playground where my childrens imagination never ends (quite the opposite to what it does when used in our garden…).

Rubarb

Here it is, the first rubarb pie of the year! All thanks to the Mr’s grandmother (our are a bit late due to our garden project).

I think I’m about to die

Two brothers constantly fighting. One worse than the other. The mr is off to work. Suicide feels like the only option at the moment.

I want to thank…

…for the Liebster blog award I got from Jennica. For some reason I always get surprised that people actually read my blog and not to forget, enjoys it! I had written my post (where I pass the award on to other blogers)  when the draft disappeared in cyberspace and I really got fed up to…

A promisse

I have promissed myself to not post anything intill I returen my Liebster award. And so be it.

Sorry

Apparently I have done it again. Written so secretive (or poorly) so people have misunderstood my frevious post. I AM NOT PREGNANT! I meant, IF (or when I was) I didn’t drink and I didn’t stay up till 4:00 am. Now, I am not and thenI do those crazy things.

Tired

One good, or even great thing to be pregnant or breastfeed, is, that you do not drink. Good company, lots of wine and an afterpart(!) turned the clock into close to 4:00 am before we managed to get to bed. This had the consequence that the Sunday was spent doing nothing. But it rained more…

What is the problem

That very few of us are perfect parents, does not come as a surprise for none of us. So why does it bother me that I have not seen the obvious what to do. I have read about it, several times, but it is first after a conversation with a friend (for the hundred time)…

Crap

My aim is to be happy, I strive for it, everyday. Sometimes I fail miserably. Like now. There are things, important things for me, that are not good at the moment. And although I love social media, I hate the fact that we often use it to brag. Consioulsy or not. So I say it…

Sun

Went to Malmö today (yesterday, it is after midnight after all). What a wonderful day ot was. Sum, sun and sun!

Good help

It is good when they get older. They can help out with things. Like getting a Pokemon off the roof.

Annoying

There are two commercials running in Swedish medias at the moment that really annoys me. One for watching TV whenever you want. Which in the commercial means that the father should not be upset, putting his daughter to bed and staying there, is NO problem, he can watch that game ANYtime. If we overlook the…

Just not cut for it

I am not made for parenting. At least not the points that have to do pain. Their pain. But since I am not a curling mum, I must let them meet unfomfortable  things to. I must.

Every last drop

When school starts in August, Fabian’s and mine lazy Fridays will be gone. As I try to live here and now we truly appricate the moment and make the most out of it. Like today, no milk in the fridge became an excellent oppertunity to get fresh breakfast buns from the local bakery. Enjoy life…

Eyes wide open

Just watched “A mother’s courage: Talking back to autism“. A great documentary about what autism really is. Besides the obvious, to be reminded of the fact that we all should be happy for what we’ve got, especially if health (whatever that means) is one factor. It was also a great eye-opener of how increadible narrow-minded…

Circus

Been to the circus today. My kids first (!) time (yepp, I know terrible mother). I think it is due to my own memory of it, we never gone. Remembered (I think this actually is my first memory ever) being about six years old and looking forward to the circus visit. Especially looking forward to…

Progress

At the garden work goes forward. Much thanks to the Mr. Love him especially much for that.

Easter

I am convinced that it is not possible to do everything. At least not at the same time. Today it was mummy day. The Mr had been working the night shift and then he went on to the evening one right after sleeping. So I took the kids to the pool, to a bigger one…

Bad things

When things are tough, I remind myself that they always could get worse.

It sucks

Not best for the blog to be inactive… Stats are down and I all to blame. For those of you still here… I really hope I soon can give you some news about my own business development. The day was spent with my parents and my sister helps me with the bookkeeping and declaration times…

Dust

Why is it so that it only in my (OK ours) house it is dusty. Have I stept on the evil dust queens toes, so she sneaks in here every night and pours her disgusting dust bag all over the place? I am just wondering?

Stuck

I am so stuck at the moment. Stuck in my mind and so not know how to come forward. And yes, I need to. Sure,  I have been talking steps at the moment. Pretty large ones to, but I need to keep on going and I am soooooo tired. I don’t now where to go….

By the way

I have noticed that only I have, unconsiously, promoted one of our dogs on this blog. For you who are not aware, we have 2 dogs. This little sharp lady to.

Garden work

Today the Mr and I have worked hard in the garden. We decided to make beds for our strawberries, rubarbs and spieces. Our hope is this is the end for all weeds… As we removed cobble stone from the house (apparently not right for ours…) we are reusing it in true sustainibility spirit around our…

Welcome into my home

Got stuck in front of the computer (just before going to bed… why does it always happen) and for some reason I started to search for pictures of our kitchen. When we moved in we did a made a budget renovation of the kitchen. We fixed the cabinet doors, changed the counter top and sink….

Being part of

I and a friend/business partner of mine just got the news that we have been an active part of helping someone reach her dream. That feels amazing!

Future

I am at an exciting stage when it comes to my own businesses… I try very hard to not to make any conclusions just yet… Hard…
