Things to consider when you want to offer someone your help – in order to avoid mansplaining
Last night I sat down to write a blog post. A couple of minutes after I had sat down, Markus came and asked if he could watch a movie, Vaiana (Moana), while I was writing. Thirty minutes into the movie I still hadn’t written a single word. After another 5 minutes I closed my computer […]
As I lay there beside him, listening to his soft breathing, I realize that I am running. Again.
”Maammaa”. His thin, raspy voice breaks the silence and my muscles tens immediately. I put my computer down beside me and I hear his voice calling for me again, louder this time. I rush up the stairs to our bedroom. He is sitting up, watching me with sleepy eyes as I walk into the room. […]
Starting one of the most hectic weeks so far in my life as an entreprenur
Oh wow! Time really flies. It’s been more than a week since my last post, probably one of the longest pauses so far. There are two reasons behind me not posting this past week. Number one is because things have been hectic and by the time the days have turned to night, I have been […]
Hit by a cold – but first a weekend spent with friends
Matti/Mattsby’s family log book. Day number 147. We are stuck inside the house. The little one is down with fever, again. We are living on ice cream, fruit and a mix of water and apple juice. I have lost almost all hope. I can not remember what it was like before the cold hit. Our […]
Slow living in the fast lane
Hey people! The last couple weeks here have been busy. I have had plenty of computer work to do and many things to get into motion. All my different projects seem to all align right now and suddenly everything needs to be done at the same time. I don’t mind though, I usually work best […]
My fifteen minutes of fame – as cover girl for Ute Magasinet!
They say that now a days everybody, more or less, will get their fifteen minutes of fame. For me I think this is them! Earlier this summer, on the same day as we got back from our trail running adventure, me and Markus met up with Sofie Lantto and her husband Hans Berggren to shoot […]
Saturday hike to Djävulsklyftan – easy adventures are often the best
Today I’ve been home with Erik. He woke up on Sunday with a light fever. We then spent all of yesterday inside, watching movies and reading books. I finally got around to wash all of our winter clothes, not a day to late as it feels like we might need them any day now. He […]
Everybody is happy when it’s summer – right?
So summer went by fast. It feels like yesterday I was sitting by my computer, writing about all of this summers adventure and had them all in front of me. Now the nights are getting darker again, the temperature is falling (not that they really rose to begin with..) and soon the ground will be covered […]
Outdoor activities for kids during summer
Summer is here and when school breaks and vacations hit, it’s time for outdoor activities for kids. But being home without your everyday routines can also be challenging, especially with small kids that needs entertainment and a little adult supervision. When we’re not driving around Sweden, we like to just go out and enjoy what’s […]
Midsummer celebrations in Swedish Lapland Archipelago
This weekend midsummer celebrations with flowers, barbecues and silly songs are taking over Sweden – and we are doing it too. This year we are out on an island in the Swedish Lapland archipelago close to Kalix. Such a beautiful place! We arrived here late on Thursday night with boat and have spent almost all […]
Good things to bring when out in the woods with kids
A lot of people use Sundays as a day for cleaning, planning and getting ready for next week. I used to do that too, until I realized weekdays are just made up and there is no reason to spend a day off – thinking about your next day at work. So nowadays Sunday really is […]
My business strategy and why I want to be successful
Remember that I wrote in my last post that following your dreams is like a roller coaster? Well, this last week has been constantly up. Yesterday was my first day as a full time entrepreneur. It’s like all these small pieces of my business strategy that have been laying around unsorted have come together, one by […]
