12 years of bliss

Well, maybe not really, but more or less. My personality type focus on the positives. We have had our shares of downs and will continue to have it during the years to come (apparently that is what life is all about). But in retrospect we’ve handled them and that’s what matters, right? Yesterday he turned…

Tik tok

On Thursday he turns 9. 9? 9! I realize that it doesn’t matter where the time go. The important thing is what we do with it.

Freckles and giggles

The spring sun has left traces on your nose and your voice, when asking if you can go with a friend home after school, is so full of giggles it all needs to come out. Thank you for being you. My love for you and your brother meets no end.

Another feeling of happiness

Women my age (ok, I) have the bad habit of waking up around the same time also on weekends. With no interest to go back to sleep. But that is alright! Sometimes when the Mr is away the kids take his place in bed. So here I lay. Listening to breaths belonging to two blond…

Keep one in your pocket

l looked through (as I do from time to time) old blog posts and I found some pics from March 2010. And what do they tell you? To always, ALWAYS have an “almost four year old” close to you. When you do, you look at life in a brighter way.

Driving Dolph Lundgren

The other night I, as I usually do during week nights, drove offsprings to and from practise. Right there, I realized I wasn’t drivning Sam, I was drivning Dolph. Mr Dolph Lundgren was our pride And joy during the early 80’s. He was the one fighting Rocky Balbo as the tall blond, russian God – Drago. Returning home…

All my boys

I am one of them who strongly misbelieve the ones who, in their social media status, constantly tell how fantastic their partners and/or children are. We all know they might be and most likely are asses (or something similar) more often than they are perfect. Never the less I realize i am one of them….

Longing

Saw these and remember and miss the summer.

Proud

If you generalize, Swede’s are very poor at being proud over them selves. We are usually not the ones who will climb up a mountain and scream out our joy for being ourselves, just because we are soooo good. Or, maybe that is exactly where we would do it, as nobody would hear us on the…

Morning walk

Grey, windy, rainy Sunday. What you need is a walk by the ocean with a dog and your family.

Family

Really, no more words are needed (and if someone wonders, the elderly peeps are my parents).

Really, there are no words needed.

If life ended now…

… It would have been a perfect life. Today we decided to celebrate our boys. Just because. Because they are the ones they are. Many mornings we leave the house (and them) just right after they wake up. And not once they have been late to school (knock on wood). They make breakfast, they leave and…

School pics

They are here! The annual school pics. Unnecessary for someone like me who claims to take better pics herself, but still fun to have. To see how they grow. My darlings.

Happiness on a Friday morning

What is the better moment than now, to feel happiness and gratitude? When I woke up my boys this morning I felt nothing but gratitude for the fact that they are in my life. Great feeling to acknowledge

Morning walk

Happiness comes in different forms and sizes for us all. For me it came this morning, with a late start, bit of sun and a walk with my darlings.

What is WRONG with me?

The answer to the question might be “a lot of things”. The Mr and I have always, consciously or not, wanted our children to be independent and self going. As soon as the Mr took over the parental leave for the second son, we have been on the right track (Fabian was extremely cautious with…

Voices

The sound of two brothers, playing. In their imaginary world. What a treat. Right now I am very happy.

Excersice

After the half marathon in June last year, I have not moved much other from some intervals and shorter runs for a 10 k that never happened. To be fair I do virja yoga and walk some k’s every day with the dog, which shows that I am not totally lazy, but still. To ski…

My boys, my life

It must be impossible to have missed my boys. As any mother (I hope) I am so proud to have these individual around me. And little did I know 10 years back what effect their presence would have on me. This is my latest capture of the the two boy I once fantasized over 20…

Bursting

The love for my children. Its is strange how big, complex, endless, heartwrecking and fantastically fabolous it is. Everybody being a parent knows what I am talking about. Earlier this week it was on the rim of disappearing, today it is a bottomless well. When our boys are good they are better than great. When…

Power nap

A power nap was all I needed after a grand day with my sister in Copenhagen (yes, again, crazy is it not?) My sister gave this trip to Fabian on his birthday and Sam and I was invited to join 😜. We skipped Tivoli this time and went for museums instead and beer… and ice-creme….

Big smile for the camera

OK, a lot of kids and soccer at the moment. Look at these cuties from the soccer camp the other week. Ours is the one to the bottom left.

My darlings

The computer tells me it is time to get rid of some stuff from the hard drive, otherwise it will crash… I do not get rid of stuff, I save them somewhere else. This blog is a great place to save things, at least as long as the platform will live. Found these ones from…

When will it end?

I don’t know where I have been. Probably yelling my lungs off. From this day, I will really think twice, three or 100.074.663 times before I even consider to ask them to stop. And I will be sure to NEVER, EVER blame the older again, even if there are tangible marks of blood on little…

The beach

Is it something special with the beach? Or is it their genes? Their father brought up by it and my “new” love for it. But it doesn’t matter when we go there (biting winter or hot, well OK warmish then), the brothers become totally absorbed by it. They can play forever with what nature brings…

We made it! Part I

We made it to Stockholm! Without any of us being ill! Here are some pics from our first great day together. Shopping, walking, a trip to the Royal stables, the tube and now cuddlei in the best hotel ever (and that with only one children’s channel).

What a day

It’s been awfully quite here the last week/weeks… I have started the new assignment to make the internal communication platform for the Outdoor launch (starting February) and apparently it is taking the better out of me :). I got a late (app. 1 year) sneak peek of the range the other day and I like…

Bros

As you know, life as a mother can have its up’s and down’s to say the least. I don’t try to paint the picture more beautiful than it is. But I appreciate it massively when it is good. Like times like this.
