My Sweet treat

I love sweet  treats, have always done, but unfortunately for me, I am very sensitive to carbs, so in periods of time, I have been  excluding them from my diet (with amazing health benefits). It is a hard thing to do and I admit, I am still not in the swing of things when it comes to my low carb eating yet, after pregnancy och feeding-round number 3, but I am getting there.

Something I still treat myself to is grapes. 

Go ahead, have one, they are delicious!

Happiness in a bowl.

A day of sweet nothings

We've had a two days of nothing much that we have to do. We have started up our home-schooling, the children are super excited and I am slowly getting the grips of where we were when we went on our summer break.

So, part from diving into math we have had a few days of doing laundry, relaxing together and waiting for Friday to arrive.

At one point, I was sitting fiddling with my camera, when I noticed that little one became very quiet. I looked up and he was sitting at the other side of the room, having laid his hands on big brother's ipod. Very pleased with himself, as you can see.

The good thing about days when absolutely nothing happens, is that the smallest little thing is so exciting. Like when we got the delivery of socks for the children. Excitement all around!

I love star print.

The beach with a 2year old

Another evening at the beach, in the beginning of summer. Being at the beach with a 2year-old is just a gift. Everything is great. It doesn't matter if the weather does permit a dip in the sea, he is just as happy to jump in some puddles (this photo was from his first trip this summer and he tried taking his shoes off, but he did not like it, so he kept his shoes on that evening, nowadays, he runs barefoot)

A treasure for mom

Please don't be in a rush to grow up, little treasure of mine.

Please the following Wednesday photo

       

A visit to the playground

We have been working like crazy for 18months. At first we thought it was going to be 10 months and we were really proud to put all efforts into turning things around. That stretched to 12 months and after that it just went on and on and finally, after 18 months of working every single day, I have arrived at a point where I realize that no matter how much effort I put into our business, there will always people and situations, who are competing with our family life. So we have decided to prioritize, no matter what, we have to have family time. Here are some precious family time spent at one of our favourite playgrounds.

Little one bouncing with some help from dad.

I love to see him toddle in the park.

We took this trip because I needed to visit my doctor, so I spent most
of the time at the park lying on a quilt reading a magazine *I don't know when I last did that...10years ago?*.
Hence most photos are of children, post 2 hours constant playing  in summer heat. They are more or less worn out at this point.

I didn't see much of I, he spent most of the time on a skateboarding-traning-thing, which was a brilliant equipment for older children to play on.

A enjoying a spin.

I know my blog is a little bare at the moment, but please feel welcome to check back, I will fill it with lots of things I love, so you get a good picture of who I am.

I hope you have enjoyed our moment in the park and wishing you the best start of the weekend.

Our moments at the beach

I have been together with my husband for 17 years now. I LOVE being with him. We met at university, programming together and later we started up our own business together, were we are working together and I LOVE it! :)

7weeks ago, he had to take on a client 4hours by car from here, so nowadays we are on our own 5 days a week. It is so hard, not only being on my own with 3 children, but just not having him here. I feel half the person when he is not with us.

When he is back, we love to go the beach.

We bring our picnic blanket and yummy treats and just hang out together. The children are at such a great age (10, 7 and 2) and are able to play without us running after them all the time.

I can't wait for the weekend to be here, so we can be together!

Welcome to my new blog!

Welcome to my new blog! I am so excited to start up a-new.

I have been blogging since 2007, but decided to start fresh. Who I am? I am a very soon to be mom of 40 years with 3 wonderful children and a husband that I adore. I work from home since 9 years and is juggling work, home-making, home-schooling and with this blog I would like to capture my strive toward growing as a person and as an aspiring photographer and my attempts at capturing the little golden moment in life that so easily can pass us by if we don't pay them any attention as well as share it with you.

First out, this weekend. We live by the sea and on Saturday, we heard this airplane noise just outside our house. We rushed to our bedroom window and was met by a wonderful display.

These people were absolutely amazing, two girls were standing on the wings of the planes and they did all sorts of stunts.

Little one (2year-old) also watched.

Happiness is...

Happiness is being 6 years old...

...and loosing your first tooth.

I hope you have enjoyed my Sweet Tuesday and Happiness contribution.

Autumn passion

Passion fruits in our garden

It's been a happy, happy Monday today!

It was a long time since I had a really happy Monday, normally they feel a bit overwhelming, since I normally have more work to do than what fits into a day. I still have loads to do today, but at least spirits have been high!

Haven't even touched my camera, so what better to do than tagging along

Chic Homeschool Mama and her Monday rewind?

The photo is taken in our garden last week. This is climbing all over our garage and it took us a while to realize, it is passion fruit. With no other autumn foliage around, this works for me, in terms of autumn colours.

Hope you are having a great Monday too!

Colourful ballerina

My happy ballerina

Last December, I hurt my back quite badly. It took me months before I was back to normal and I missed out on a whole term of "ballerina school", which my daughter calls her much beloved ballet class.

In July, I was well enough to do the car journey to her big performance day at Ballerina school and she was absolutely beaming the whole time. I followed her with my camera for the whole 40 minutes of the show and she gave me these happy glances thoughout the show. A happy, happy day for both of us.

So this is my precious colourful contribution.

Birthday orchid

I also received this gorgeous orchid from my husband on my birthday.

A favorite flower of mine.

Friday's precious moments

I have had such a great day today.

Summer is not my favorite season. It is beautiful, but I don't do very well with heat, and with everybody else loving everything to do with heat, it leaves me feeling a little bit misplaced.

So when autumn comes, I get this surge of energy and the feeling of wanting to embrace life to the fullest.

We've had a few days with autumn weather, a little bit of sunshine and nice enough weather to just step outside without a jacket and watch the children play in the garden.

I found a few flowers still in our garden today. I placed them on our garden table to try to take some lovely close-ups when my little helper turned up...

And I ended up loving those photos instead.

The first one is my favorite photo this week.
