walking barefoot.

A time of transition.
The dead has yet to disappear into the earth. The living has just made it's way through it.
I will do my best to walk tall through it and explore the gifts it carries.

mornings.

I think we've got a nice little morning routine going. If I can just keep the stress at bay that is. We get up, not too early, not too late. I make myself some coffee and then we play, put the clothes on and have breakfast. Not  in order, not very orderly. Quite messy and often with some sort of powerstruggle, but still nice and easy. Cosy. Every now and then I have a meltdown while trying to put outdoor clothes on two struggling ones. But I'm working on that part.

As soon as we get outside it's all sunshine. No matter what the weather. I so much love the outdoors. And I am so happy to see that so do my children. And now that spring truly is here it's all the more lovely. Even though we live in a city, I do feel that I can get in touch with nature. After I have left S at daycare, I venture in the parks with L. (Even small parks can be adventures for small children. So much to touch and look at and smell and eat! :)).

Love!

like mother like daughter.

Going crazy over a box of paper and cut out images.
My heart is smiling.

Didn't get to make another layer today. Lost some sleep due to nightmares and eating frenzies and very sudden completely out of nowhere: "MAMA, can you CARRY me!!"'s I was slow today. Slow about everything. Totally okey :).

I did, however, go walking with some other mothers and fell in love with spring time again (don't look at the fence, look at the carpet of flowers, yay!).

Oh, and I love that house. If we get married I want the party there.

Love!

so what on earth have I been up to?!

I know. I have been away for way too long. And, as always, the longer you put something up, the more difficult it is to get started again. So, here goes:

I am actually so happy to be writing here again. I didn't realize until this very moment that I have actually missed it. I have been busy, you see. Doing what, exactly? Well, a number of things. Procrastinating as usual, of course. But not only that. I have been here:

It is in Scania, the south part of Sweden were my father and his wife live. It looks so grey and dull, I know. It was mist season... A whole week running around outside, working in the garden. Oh, and I drove a tractor! Yay! It was on my list of things I would most like to do thus year, so I payed a visit to the farmer next door and asked if I could try out driving his tractor and he said yes. He looked somewhat worried when he found out I don't have a drivers lisence, but didn't change his mind. It was just as fun as I had hoped.

I have also been doing some agonizing. Since I don't have a job, and I need to start making some moolah before beginning of september. Yes, I believe it is important to start in good time. Agonizing I mean. The jobsearching is a bit slower to start.

And finally, I have worked on a surprise I am launching on april then 26:th. Well, I am probably not going to keep it a secret until then. Since I am now also on Facebook, you can read about it there :). Or in my newsletter that I will start sending out soon. If I can figure out how to do it. No matter how user friendly these tech things may be, I tend to need an eternity to understand how to do it and then do it. Hmmm.

Love!

more winter walks.

I haven't been here for a number of days now. It is "decease season" in Stockholm now. The children get colds and snivels and fevers and flues in turn. I get some, but not all. So does P. I always fear the kids being home sick in advance. And then when they are, I end up thinking it is also really cosy. Sure, they are a bit whiny and don't want to drink, and don't want to eat. But they also want to snuggle up on the couch, want lots of hugs and kisses, to be read to. And we still take our winter walks. Lots of warm blankets and shawls in the pram to tuck them into when needed.
