thank goodness it's friday


it's been an incredibly long week.  stefan is away for work and i am parenting solo, work was exhausting spilling into my evenings, volunteer commitments abound.  don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining, you see i loved every aspect of my week - being in a classroom with the kids is pretty awesome, the expats i volunteer with are such beautiful women and kai is still ok to sleep in the same bed as me so there's that too. 

the days are getting longer here, the sun is shining, and kai and i have been researching pet rescue in stockholm because we will be adopting a kitty cat very soon.  we are super excited about it.

this weekend, things will get done but slower or maybe later.  i look forward to a long lie in, drinking tea, and reading.  kai and i have plans to watch a movie in the morning and spend the afternoon at the moderna museet.  then stefan comes home in the evening.  just what the doctor ordered.

have a lovely weekend.

where are you spring?

the instagram photos from vancouver that show up on my phone are showing lots of blossoms.  surly, the cherry trees on my street have begun blooming too.  while here in stockholm we are still in a wintry state.  

i'm about ready for spring... i can't wait for the season to arrive in stockholm.

a glorious winter

january 2016 was filled with brightness and snow; winter took centre stage.  a chill in the air, a freezing one that invigorates you and wakes you up.  you go out into the snow to play and walk and grill with friends.  you cozy up in a cafe with hot tea and warm pastries.  

nyckelvikens is such a place, a perfect little place.








our best friends!























skating on the lake - kai is spoiled for ice rinks now!








and, finally, sledding the hills of our neighbourhood park vitabergsparken!







i will savor this winter.  february has lighten up and dusted our roofs with a bit of snow but it doesn't last like it did in january.  a little more would have been nice.  in the meantime, my boys and i are seeking out more winter adventuring in the dolomites for a week... we're going to italy today!

see you back here in March!
