Hip hip hooray for Eowyn, who turns 5 today!!

This Weekend

Sun, 27 May 2012 20:17:08 +0200

Today, there was a huge flea market all over our part of town. Here are some of my favorite findings:

Eowyn bought icecream from our neighbour, Anton:

The view from our balcony:

We’ve also thrown a birthday party for our neighbours. Eowyn and Ester turns 5 and 3 next week.

Yesterday we went to visit my brother. We had some saturday candy:

I got to relax and put by swollen pregnancy legs up for a while…

…while the kids washed cousin Alva’s bike:

Just wanted to say a quick hello. I know there’s not much action here at the moment. Too much to do at work and at home plus the whole being pregnant thing - which is a bit tiring… I’ll be back soon. :-)

Nice wallpaper

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:57:49 +0200

We don’t have any wallpaper in our apartment, just painted walls. It’s more practical we have reasoned. But seeing these pictures makes me think twice about that… Lovely kitchen (with the same yellow lamp we have in our living room!), found in an apartment for sale here.

Modified chest of drawers

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:28:05 +0200

Two new chest of drawers has moved into our bedroom. They are Malm from Ikea, but since we didn’t want to have divided drawers at the top, we modified them just a bit by buying a third chest of drawers from which we reused two big drawers. The third one has moved up in the attic for now, storing some stuff up there.

Second hand jewellery box/mirror (pigtittare…) and a mushroom moneybox bought in Denmark.

Easter

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:58:56 +0200

Some Instagram pictures of this Easter. We’ve done some crafting, some dressing up and yesterday we went to visit some friends of ours, who has a garden cottage close by. They had an Easter celebration, with a bonfire and everything. The whole area is so cozy. I really, really want a small house there, but Johan remains skeptical…

Spring cleaning

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:59:22 +0200

The kids are on a birthday party all by themselves and Johan and I are spending the afternoon with some spring cleaning. I really like the new table cloth from Spira. Triangles for the win!

More kitchen

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 09:18:07 +0200

Some more pics of our kitchen and the new rug. Today we’re hopefully going to plant some flowers out on the balcony! What are you up to this weekend?

A switch

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:06:00 +0200

The small hallway chest of drawers have moved into the kids’ room and the bigger chest of drawers have moved out into the hallway. Also, in the kitchen you can spot our new plastic rug, from Brita Sweden.

This week spring has really arrived here in Gothenburg, and today we had our first outdoor barbeque and spent the whole afternoon in the sun. Lovely!

That means all other plans had to be delayed, but at least I did spend some time fixing in the kids’ room yesterday (and Johan spent some time cleaning the apartment). Right now I’m trying to collecting energy to organize my wardrobe. Need to put away some stuff to be able to fit in all maternity clothes.

I love the new Ikea PS table. I could certainly see it in our apartment, although right now we have absolutely no need for another table…

A Big Change

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:41:00 +0100

Eowyn and Ester now shares a room, and has a new bunk bed. They love it (and they love the Super Mario wall stickers that Johan got us for valentines day, too).

Ester’s old room stands empty for the moment, awaiting our fifth family member - who’ll hopefully be arriving sometimes this summer… A big and exciting change for all of us!

Eo made a tassel for her cap at daycare. Today I sewed it on and as you can see she’s very proud.

Have a nice sunday!

Painting

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 14:51:39 +0100

This week Eowyn and I have been painting handles for the new Bestå-shelf in Eowyn and Ester’s room. Right now we’re putting them up. I’ll show you the result later.

Things to do on a cold day

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:26:00 +0100

We’ve had pretty cold weather here in Sweden the past couple of days (-10C) so we’ve mostly been inside. Luckily there are many things to do inside on a cold day. I might have mentioned before that we love to paint and build with Lego?…

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:17:43 +0100

The babysitter (aka my mum) called in sick so instead of going to an interesting lecture with Johan I’m at home. But at least I got some nice company… :-)

Looking forward to the weekend, perhaps we’ll get around to painting all those 24 handles that I bought for the kids’ shelf?

Around the apartment today

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:08:58 +0100

Some pics from around the apartment today. The kids are ill so I’m staying home with them. The shelf in the kids’ room (they are sharing a room now) is almost finished.

The new shelf in the kids’ room, and an airplane
