Me and the Mr decided, long before we had children, to let Christmas Eve (the culmination of Christmas in Swedish households) be holy and free from stress. This meant that we would NOT go from parents to parents, divorced or not, as a rockband on tour. Christmas Eve would be spent at home in our…
Enjoy
Today I chose to enjoy the result of my acts. I have decided and created on some good choices and I congratulate myself for it. What good did you do today? (No, there is no irony in that statement… 😉
Evil
I sometimes call myself evil. Not that I am. Sure my straightforwardness and ability to argue peoples bullshitness could for some be labled to being evil. And let’s face it, there is some humor to it, as evilness is not very common in our western, middleclass (whatever that is) lives. Or? During tonight’s family pre-Christmassy…
Christmas tree
Here it is. Our Christmas tree for this year. I think that it accidently got the same colours as last year (what ever that means). As always, when it comes to Christmas tree decoration, more is better! Which can, to some extent, hide the VERY wired shape it has. I wonder what we were thinking…
And yes, I do take it personal
My usual very happy go lucky attitude, where I can turn away from things that I can’t 1) affect or 2) is not really about me. Sometimes goes into a dead end. Like today. I don’t take it personal as the heading says, but it bothers me. It bothers me soooo much that people, in…
3 years ago
Three years ago I blogged about my kids – surprise! In 2009 I proudly talked about my gingerbread fort and other X-mas preparations. And last year I said yes to letting Samuel play hockey (that luckily never became reality) and reported from the Lucia celebration at school. The same procedure as today in other words. To…
Merry Christmas
Our traditional Christmas cards should have arrived to its different receivers. To not neglect anyone I send our Christmas greetings through the digital world as well. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2012.
Oh, those kids
Kids, kids, kids. Yepp, they are the topic again. My favourite thing! Today was Sam’s second swim competition. His first was about a year ago. We r serious athletes in this family… First time was more a mom and dad initiative, but this time he wanted to take part so… There was nothing else for…
Some of my favourites
Some of my favourites. Kiddos (of course), dogs and the fire place. The fire place is also the dogs favourite during winter.
I wish
That all people would take (at least) half a year to get to know one self. So people could make their choices and stand comfortably by them without asking for someoneelses (my) confirmation. If you have done something for reasons that you believed was the right thing to do  – then it WAS the right…
Thankful
It is good to be thankful and recognize moments when you are. Today I am thankful for having a warm home. One thing about being a dog owner is all the weathers you come come acquainted to. Like the rain/snow/wind we met today. It is good to be inside.
Fabulous Fabian
Went through some “old”pictures. What a tragedy that I do not shoot more for personal purposes. I really need to start doing it again. Found this of our little one. The natural entertainer, although soooo shy, but he loves to be in the lime-light (like his mother excl. the shyness). And he loves to fika,…
What a day
Had a lovely lunch today. Yes, the food was good but the company was better. It is great to talk with someone that is “in the same place as your self”. Someone who also strives for development and improvement in the his/her life. To top it all off I won a full year’s subscription of…
By the way
… “once” again I got positive feedback on my pics! I hope I never will be tired of hearing it (not that it might happen that often). It is great to hear though.
Life in general
Not much happening right now… Christmas around the corner, no gifts bought… no worries we only buy to the kids. A lot at work but still under control. My own business is running smoothly. After the new year I will gear up. But other than that not much happening. So sorry, no big earth shattering…
Victory
As a comment to my previous post. I might not like the world I am living in. But I will continue to stand for up for my self. By this I know that justice one day will prevail.
Trash
Sometimes I do not think I am meant to be part of this world. This world of people with no backbone. Pathetic people!
Boredom
I am bored, or uninspired. So is the dog. He is trying to play with the ball him self… OK, lets get to it.
Suddenly it happens
Progress is a great phenonemon. With a clear enough goal and support from the right people, things starts to happen. Naturally I will not forget or diminish my own part in this. Hurray for me! And hurray for all of you, who choose to be active to what life your are leading. Or dreams
Sweet Friday
Yesterday it was Friday, and with Fridays comes fredagsmys. There is no really good translation for fredagsmys. I guess it would  be hygge fredag in Norwegian, but if you don’t know Norweigan that translation won’t help you either… Anyway, it is when the members of a family get together celebrating that the working week is over. I…
I wonder what
Today we got an email from the box office where we bought our unused Rihanna tickets. It said, in the nicest way, that they wouldn’t be able to keep the two week deadline to refund our tickets. And that they didn’t need any more e-mails about this. I wonder what rights I have here? Because…
And the Oscar goes to…
… me. I totally ruled today. I actually surprised myself over my performance.
Darlings
These photos were taken som weeks ago, when a friend came visiting. They are lovely. Meaning the kids (one is mine :)) are lovely. Â The look in the eyes of my friend’s daughter when Fabian entertains her are pure joy.
Hard core advertinsing
I am not a big fan of advertising. As you know I am quite bad at it and forcing myself to become better at it. But I do know myself, and I can go on forever with things I really, REALLY like. Like my fave magazine (that is no longer with us…). Today a colleague…
Sometimes things just happen
It is amazing, how things change. Sometimes without one self had anything to do with it, other times because you are steering it. But usually it is a mix of the two. Today I made a change myself, by just saying something out loud. Powerful!
Hearing
A common comment in our house is nowadays “I can’t hear you.” And the worst thing about is that it is true. The Mr and I are getting old.
Just another brick
I don’t really understand why I get annoyed. Or surprised. I know the rules of the game. I know every step of it, and still… Well, of course, that is why I get annoyed. I know the game, I know it’s rules and who I am playing with. I know it is not fair and…
Kids -the opinion maker is back
Our municipality invited parents to a lecture how to put loving boundaries. As usual it is not rocket-science these things, but it is good to be reminded at times. The lecture was a (young!) father of four. He was a good speaker and very pedagogic, Micke Gunnardo. The first thing is to give time to…
Life on a stick
Are enjoying these little suckers: Tasty! Go buy – no preservatives.
Where does the time go?
At the moment my life is ridiculously stressful. I really feel that I am about the hit my max. This is the time where I must use my learnings from the past and allow myself to let go of the accelerator. So IKEA days are hectic and thereto I have so much to do during…
Fan-freaking-tastic
Some days are really like that. Nothing more to say. 😉 My life is great because I decide it is great!
Focus
Yepp, need to focus on the important (?) boring things. Booooooring and definitely not making me happy.
Paradox
Is it not wierd. One day your on top of the world, the other you are sharing bed with the devil himself. Today I think I was close to a manage a deaux with him. Not enjoying it though…
Choices
I have two choices 1) start sleeping on the sofa 2) start to go to bed before I get tired Now I am wide awake after “napping” on the sofa…
Babies
Watching one of these fertility shows (no, not the delivery show) and realise how thankful I am over my two boys. Heathy, happy (well somewhat) boys. Sending a thought to those who are struggling.
Despite
At the moment I feel a somewhat despite towards… myself. Without going into details I just feel that I am not leading my life as I learn, at least not to the extent I aught to. What to do, what to do? Oh, I know what to do. So Louise, just to it!
Longing
Oh what I am looking forward to next weekend. Yes, my birthday is coming up but it is not that. I am just longing to spend some more time with my family. My favourite time spent! Lucky me.
10 000
Next one to be here is no. 10 000! Cool, and that is just since I switchd from Vox to WordPress. Was it you?
Amazing weekend
Last weekend me and my business partner went east to do an Amazing you job. Amazing you is when someone want to fullfill a photographic dream in style. This job is so much fun! We met a young woman with dreams to fullfill. We had a long but great day. Here are some pictures.
I just love Swedish public service television
The public service television, which up to twenty or so years ago actually was the only Swedish TV there was to get, must be the best television E-V-E-R. During summer we put parental control over the trash kids channels since we thought they were the worst thing the offsprings could pass time with, closely followed…
Autumn pics
I was not about to do this. I was only gonna sit on the sofa (I am so tired and need to go to work tomorrow – again!) ;). Here are some pics from this morning’s dog walking tour. No dogs just kids. They are my favourite objects. Especially together.
Sunday
Today it is  Sunday and I’m not going to do ANYTHING! Maybe just have a little peek on the photos from yesterdays shoot. Amazingyou shoot in the eastern archipelago. Good day (both today and yesterday).
Proud
Our sons school has different themes during the curricilum. During the first weeks of the semester they ALWAYS talk about their school’s law. It is the pupils themselves who decide the school’s law and it is about being a good friend, to create a good environment where everybody can learn etc etc. Today they celebrated…
