Good Friday

Good Friday is almost at its end. Only dinner and tucking in the kids to bed left.

I'm totally exhausted after the first day of the Easter holidays.

Hubby spent the whole day at work.

I have been 'entertaining' the kids and trying to keep them from fighting too much...

Not sure if I was successful lol 

The whole day has been a roller coaster ride.

Good Fridays were different when I grew up.

It was the year's longest day - in Sweden, Good Friday is called 'Long Friday'.

No shops were open and TV only showed religious movies. 

A least that's how it felt...☺

Swedish Waffle Day

Today I'm making waffles for the kids 

as it is a Swedish tradition to eat waffles on the 25th of March each year.

I've got my waffle iron out and I have my cookbook infront of me.

Time to cook ☺ Yum yum... 

Yesterday...

we celebrated my cousin's 40th birthday... and today it's 8 months until my big day.

When we drove home from Brisbane it stared to rain slightly and the sky was dark.

We could see lightning in a distance.

A few minutes after we got home the sky opened up and the rain poured down

- bucket loads...

and we saw the most spectacular lightning show imaginable.

Mother Nature is amazing!

Almost Easter

Can't believe it's almost Easter.

Time flies so fast... 

It feels like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... Sunday!

I haven't even had a chance to visit the blog parties I signed up to.

I haven't seen any of the other blog posts.

Sorry.

It makes my day to read all your beautiful comments and at the same time, 

I feel so bad I haven't visit as many blogs as I wanted or replied to your comments.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

See you next week!

An update from my neck of the woods...

Since my last blog post I have visited our dentist and had a root canal. Unfortunately, an infection occurred and I've been eating painkillers and antibiotics - as if they were lollies... ☺ Seriously, I've never ever eaten this much medication - ever. Not a big fan of meds. I'd rather keep myself and my family healthy with non-traditional and safe alternatives. This time I had to bite the bullet - I've been drowsy & dizzy, nauseous and feeling sick - on top of the scrutinizing pain. I spent my days horizontally, in bed or on the sofa. The only times I was up, was when I had to cook food for the kids. So hard to be a good mum when you're not feeling well. Luckily, I'm on the mend!

The weather has been wet, very wet. It's been raining non-stop for days. Unbelievable!  For days! The grass is once again soaked - lovely and green, I might add. The sun has been hiding and I'm not sure when it's going to show up again... It's been quite cozy with the grey weather, especially when you don't have to go out at all. The kids and I have been watching TV and snuggling under the blankets. Perfect weather when you're not feeling well ☺

Until next time...

Toodles!
