Question of the day
Do you know what this is? Well, I finally bought it at Bauhaus last Thursday and Tobias mounted it today, it is from Brabanita and I do love laundry at the moment! YES, I KNOW! It is brilliant, a foldable drying rack. I just don’t know how I have survived without it. Well, the truth…
Perfect Sunday with the season’s first ocean dip
Wow! What a perfect Sunday it has been. One can’t really care less that the real vacation is about four weeks way, when we have weather like this. But instead of mowing the lawn and start baking the cookies for Fabian’s birthday we went to the beach and enjoy the weather and the company of…
8.00 am
Our meeting which was suppose to start at 08.00, which I hurried to this morning, doesn't start until 09.00… didn't bring my laptop to work do day since we were having a meeting all day. Oh well, can go for a cup of coffee then and read the newspaper, no stress. Read and post comments…

Agree
This article is so good that I could have written it my self. Not only is it good I totally agree. (Sorry only in Swedish.) Summary: swedish parents work too little on their relationships, and choose to go separate ways too quickly. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Coffee
Both our sons are drinking coffee. Is it healthy? Is it normal? Probably not, but it is our kids so it is no big surprise. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Happy anniversary
Today Tobias and I celebrate 16 years together (no, not married, that would have been just plain stupid to do that age). Happy anniversary to you Tobias, what a lucky guy you are:-) Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Kisses
Today Tobias found out that our oldest is getting kisses from a girl at school (he sure doesn't mind). Gee, it is fun to be a parent. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Things I like
I like when things goes as (I) planned. I love, a great hairdresser. After have bought the gifts for Samuel’s birthday marathon on Sunday, we went to the hairdresser to see if there by ANY chance was a free spot just right then and there for two boys to get cut. There was! And not only…
Strawberry premiére

Me
Just watched the Wasa bread commercial on Swedish TV. It's the one were the woman gets insanely mad when she notices that her pantie hoes are ripped and just freaks out. It is just so me. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Movie time
Today it is time to go to the movies again, “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian”, just me and my small ones. It is going to be exciting since one never knows how it will turn out, if someone will be scared and want to leave while the other desperately want to stay…. With two…
A smartass has arrived to the family
Samuel is getting older and smarter. He had the following comment when we went shopping today and his father wanted him to be a bit calmer and not so noisy. "Yeah, like we are in a library." ("É vi i ett bibliotek, eller?") I am looking forward to the conversations ahead. Read and post comments…
Spring
Spring is here and life is wonderful. 4 day weekend ahead (instead of my normal three).
Weekend summary
Lovely weekend, good weather, good friends, hiking and horseback riding.
Laundry time
Here we go! Who invented laundry? Have to do some, I thought that was why I live with a man. Then some picking up stuff, before the cleaning lady comes. Who invented kids, I mean it is their toys I am picking up? And who invented jogging. Darn that Maria, who forces me to this….
Nip/Tuck
Just watched another episode of Nip/Tuck. What a BIZZAR show. Really really strange. The weekend has been good, although short. Worked Friday at least half of it. Today Samuel had his last training at swimming school. Finally, he dared to jump into the deep pool (this is strange since he has jumped into deep pools…
Celebrating spring
This long weekend has been about celebrating the fact that spring has arrived. This year we could skip spring and celebrate summer, it has been very warm for the season. All this have been done with traditional bonfires and BBQ’s. Today we went to a new tradition, instead of watching cows being let out of their…
Scoring high as parents
Today, Tobias and I got top scores in being parents. Jumping on the trampoline with the boys. Sam never wanted it to stop. I then got me some extra point playing pedagogic (Tobias is not getting any playing the none-pedagogic ones) computer games. Sam is now entering the world of money and the value of them. Then I…
This is my family…
…and yes, I love them dearly.
Good or freaking awesome
Sometimes life is good and sometimes it is just darn awesome. Saturday was darn awesome. After almost a year we got to it together and had a girls night out. We are old soccer wives, who try (yes, I said try) to meet every once in a while (read year) and drink wine, eat and…
If you
If you would weigh the time you spend with your children with time you spent doing other things. The time you spent with your children will weigh about 1000 times more. That is just the way it is. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Why?!
I do become very upset when it comes to ignorance. What especially makes me tick at the moment are all these fashionable/cool parents who have the poor (?) judgment to buy "Bugaboo/bubaboo" type of trolleys (which means that the child is facing the world rather than their parent when out and about). Why not use…
Not much
Feels like not much is happening just now, or is it just the opposite? According to my camera the following things have happened since early/mid April:
That time of the month
I was watching TV and started crying. What was I watching then? The documentary soap show of working at the Stockholm international airport "Stockholm-Arlanda". I guess that it just is that time of the month… Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Accents
Why is it so, that people react negatively when they hear certain accents? Personally, I react negatively to people speaking with a Stockholm accent. This afternoon when I'd cleaned the strawberry field from weeds, I heard a couple speaking very loud (please remember I live in a small town, doesn't need much to be loud) and these people spoke…

Good Friday
Good Friday was spent with good friends. The amazing weather made the get-together absolutely perfect. Therefore we and the kids enjoyed the day mainly from our unfurnished sun deck.
Song time
So, the weekend is over and time for work again. Really enjoyed the WONDERFUL spring weather that southern Sweden have had. Here is an example of what we have done today. We also had a look at a miniature pinscher pup, but no not now. And I really want to have a Ridgeback when it…

Spring
Weekend over again! Thank God that I am going back to four day weeks :-). Gardeing has been the topic this weekend as well, as a quick visit at grandma and grandpa’s. Today, Sam didn’t get any candy after swimming class, since he was making a lot of nuisance and even told one of the…
Life
The week that has past has been very hectic at work and the next week will be as well. Basically been working all day, having dinner with the family to continue working until 10-12 at night. I know it has an end, but still I wonder how my company will sort the future out. Never mind,…
