I'm not the mom I feel I should be.... 'Honey? I'm really suffering from a severe bout of cognitive dissonance,' I told the hubster over breakfast. He was quite busy making a sandwich that would make Garfield salivate. But he managed a: 'Huhuh.' That's his way of telling me: 'I'm listening.' I'm not the mom...
'There's no such thing as bad weather. Only bad clothes,' the Swedish say. And I grew up with a mom that told me: 'You're not made of sugar!' So when it's pouring rain I still feel like I have to ride my bike. So this is me after 45 minutes of bike riding through the...
In a local thrift shop I found an old fashioned card game. I fell in love with the pretty picures and the price. It only cost $1! But as I was admiring the drawings something struck me: the images were very stereotypical about what women and men should do! The woman serves. The man eats....
Lately I've been buying most of my clothes second hand. It's cheaper and I like to do my bit for the environment. At least this way I'm not making it worse. And recently I bought this lovely jersey Laura Ashley dress for 10 Englisch pounds. I love it: It fits all my criteria for a...

This June my oldest son left the nest and got his own place. And even though I miss having him around, I'm mostly just veru happy that he's doing so well. And that he's happy! What more could I want as a mom. Having a cup of coffee together thanks to modern technology And now...
I love trunks and vintage suitcases! And no, I don't mean men's swimwear kind of trunks. Nor the one that elephants sport. And I definitely do not mean that stupid Dragon Ball character, called Trunks. I mean trunks as in big suitcases. Vintage trunks in your home I especially love vintage trunks. They remind me...
Persian rug with mousepad ambitions New mouse pad I bought a new mouse pad! I saw it at the store for about 3 bucks. It looks like an oriental rug, except it isn't. It's a mouse pad. I loved it so much I just had to buy it. It's like ploughing through the snow : (...
I like my comfort. But as a mom I'm often not very comfortable at all. Because I have this bad habit of worrying I can't seem to kick. Yes, I know worrying doesn't help! And yes, of course I know that worrying is not helpful. But I just can't seem to help myself. I worry...
