So...

It's been quiet again, I know. But I will make a change. Have been struggling with the Technical part of our household so far this year. Need to buy a new computer and a phone for myself in the next couple of weeks. I'll kneep you updated!

LOVE

You know the time will come, peace on earth for everyone

So what have I been up to lately!? I'm not going to bore you with flue- cold- or -stomach bugs (which is totally the reason it has been so quite at these parts of the web by the way), that... and a new job that I'm not use to doing is to blame, it has been consuming a lot of my time I'm afraid.
But now... finally, I'm starting to feel more human again (thanking my lucky star for that, can you believe it's Christmas in like 7 days, ohhh, we celebrate it the 24th of December in Scandinavia).
And this is actually the first year as a family we're not going back home, so it's a lot of planning, planning and then again... planning!
BUT, I love it!

Our little gingerbread house, my son, the naughty Little Mrs M, has already eaten the door of the house and the Christmas tree that we had outside of it!

And this is our biggest D.I.Y project so far this season. My sons very own Advent calendar, with wrapped gifts and all. Not anything fancy or expensive (could not afford that). Let me tell you, the best present yet was a tape reel that he could do what ever with, we had some pretty nice sculptural works of art here a couple of days a go. He loved it, we loved it! So nothing fancy required!

Under the weather

I'm still here, haven't abandoned the blog, it's true!
I have just been so tired, sick twice, working a lot, been on a very short trip to my home country and just realizing I haven't bought even one tiny Christmas gift yet.
It's just been one of these how-can-get-by-with-only-24h-a-day- type of periods. But I will catch up, soon enough!
And here's the evidence that I feel a bit under the weather!

Or just dreaming of  better days maybe. Oh, and it actually started to snow last night, about time if you ask me!

LOVE

Happy Monday on you!

not so spooky after all

Is it to late to make a post about our pumpkin this year, no?! Well then...
Poor little thing, just after one day sitting on our balcony the carved pumpkin collapsed, better luck next year right!
Good thing I have a very young son, we have a couple of years to make all these festive days perfect before he start to remember (still it will haunt me though). So practice makes perfect!

A friendly looking "Jack The Pumpkin King"

We also made some pumpkin pie for dessert that day, oh my, let me tell you, it was so nice. I never had pumpkin pie before. So this will end up on our Christmas dessert table this year (if I can get my hands on some more pumpkin that is).

A good, lazy Halloween (as I said, we are practicing for the Halloweens that will come). Next year it will be more decorations, costumes and the whole shebang!

LOVE

Just one more thing before I go: After Halloween I always LOVE to look at pictures what other people wore as costumes. And this one you just have to see, a couple that dressed up as Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in black and white... they where literally in black and white! Amazing!

If you have not visited the Here's looking at me kid blog yet, you kinda have to. Let me tell you, prettiness all over!

and then...

... I got sick! Stupid airplane air conditioner! I didn't have mine on, but everyone else seemed to. Breathing that same air over and over again, people sneezing everywhere. Seriously I didn't have a chance!


But I will soon be better, and then I will have more time to do a proper post!
For now I'm popping painkillers and making myself ready for work (no rest for the wicked).


I'll be right back!

LOVE
