While sitting by myself in the candle light by our dining table, playing tranquil Swedish Christmas songs, the dog sleeps peacefully on the sofa and the boys in their beds (the Mr is off to work). I reflect over how I feel in this very moment. Except for missing my dad (who loved Christmas) I…

Just a reminder
Now when people post their most sparkling family portraits on social media. Remember this. It could be a true reflection of a truly blissful life or it’s a more or less staged moment seconds from chaos.
Only five to go
Today is Fabian’s last day of the term/semester. Only five more to go then he too, is out of school. Can’t be reminded often enough how fast life goes. Yesterday was our annual Christmas cooking eve. For years we have forced the boys to be present in the traditional meatball making, now I think they…
Christmas vacation 🎄
Today’s my first day off. Spend it on the couch listening to a book. Nice.
When you realize…
…that the homeshopping company didn’t send ALL the items (Christmas gifts) and when you realize that you haven’t double booked two standup shows… Two sides of the same feeling.
From us all…
… to you all. A very Merry Christmas.

Christmas in da house
I love Christmas. Did you read LOVE. I can’t get enough. I love the lights, the food, the candy, the champagne (more of a new tradition) the “cosyness”. And I, as opposite others, would never go away during Christmas. If I do, it must be to a place with more snow and more Christmas than…
