Seriously people, I am a lucky woman. I’m not rich, nor do I have a perfect life – but I have seriously magical friends. The kind of people you want to be with, always. Family. ❤️ Some have been with me for the longest of times, some are newer. But one thing is certain – […]
Now get your head out of the gutter people, 🙈 I’m not talking about that kind of banging, I’m talking about the kind of noise 10 visiting varieties of handymen have been making in the office as of late. Thankfully though the crew couldn’t have consisted of more pleasant and fun loving people whom I […]
We spend yesterday by the beach. We started off with the munchkins at a water land, playing pirates. The whole place was a hit. Even for me and sis who could spend most of our time on a mat under the palm trees and watch how the two of them played away. They only graced […]
We went out for dinner yesterday after a day of relaxation and Christmas candy making. The combination of Christmas preparation and pool hanging is simply weird and one I’ll never get used to. The two should be separated and never get mixed up ever again. Next Christmas shall be spent in a cabin in the […]

back in Beijing after a couple of days back home. Yes, it’s confusing, I have two places that I call home. One where my family is, which is not dependent on a specific spot and then the country to which I belong. After having lived abroad for such a long time it sometimes gets confusing […]
I’m home. The place where my heart is and where I feel the most sane. My breathing hole. I’ve never been one for feeling “home sick” but for some reason (and I’m sure it has absolutely nothing to do with age..) it gets harder and harder to leave this place. 13 years since I had […]
Welcome to my Saturday. Yes, you read right, this is exactly what I’ve been doing today. I’ve been pampered in the company of fabulous Ms Lotta. A woman of my taste who understand that just once in a while you need to take your girlfriend away from all that work and simply, play. Like grown […]
At almost (if not all)every international school we’ve experienced throughout the world there’s an “International Day” designed to teach kids about different countries and cultures. It’s usually a very appreciated day for the students. It’s also the day I get to dress up my daughter in a Sweden costume! 👏🏻 She didn’t look overly excited this […]
