To be honest, it is not easy to keep this blog going. You probably noticed that the postings are rather sporadic and i tend to blog after big holidays and special events.

During the ‘normal’ daily lives, we try to get through from one activity to another – out of bed, breakfast, school, catch the bus, work, catch the bus home, grocery shopping, prepare dinner, clean up, homework, household chores, bed. It is not mundane, but time just breezes by. It is already difficult to find time to do my own thing. I wish i have the discipline to write weekly to report on the kids’ progress and what we have been up to. But it is definitely not an easy task.

At times, i do feel like giving up but when i read through all the old blogs, it does bring such wonderful memories to me. I really want the kids to keep their childhood memories, how they celebrated their birthdays, what they did during their school holidays, their naughty pranks, the seasonal holidays and the sweet memories of spending time with their family. I have to keep reminding myself that this is the purpose of the blog, to keep these memories alive and to share these with our dear family and friends.

So i hope that i will persevere with this …to keep this blog alive. I do think that it helps to keep track of my English which is deproving quite a bit. Not that my swedish is getting any better. I am embarrassed by the numerous grammatical and spelling errors and for the lack of content at times. But maybe i shouldn’t care so much after all….this is OUR BLOG!!!



Spring is here!

Påsk 2015 Skollov

It was the Easter break and I took my last batch of official ‘paid’ maternity leave before they ‘expire’ in June 2015.

How should I keep a very active Linn entertained and happy for the week? We went to Junibacken, a fantasic playground at Marieberg, Tekniska Museet, and watched a really girlie Cinderella movie. It was fantastic and we had a lot of fun.

Time really passes and I do enjoy spending time with the children. It is very interesting to find out their new thoughts and interests. For example, Linn shared with me her fears as she gets older. It is not always easy to come up with the right thing to say but at least, we can try to conquer her fears and find a way to help her be positive with the changes that she will go through.

Jonathan loves to take videos and will always take my phone to do film his Godzilla movie. He gets angry these days when he does not get his ways. He spent a wonderful long weekend with Farmor in Köping and we noticed that he is calmer when there are ‘less to do’ and ‘less gadgets to play with’. In Jonathan’s case, ‘less is definitely more’.
