I might say I live in a man´s world... with my three boys, the latest addition arriving the 17th of February safe and sound. What a relief. So Mr. F and Sexy papa Pete now have to compete with the fantastic mister Fox for my affection. Well not really.....
So yes - Hard to blog and try to keep a big secret. I have managed to stay off the personal zone for 5 months and now I think its time - since I will not be able to blog about the workplace for a little while, I need new inspiration. And there are some...
I've been meaning to write about the film blood diamond... because after hearing that it was such a great film that I had to see I must say I was extremely, extremely disappointed. Not only by the storytelling, which is quite pretentious but also because...
OUff.. Im glad my pregnancy is not making the headlines all over the country. That I am reckless and "god-help-us" not married to Pan, the father of my baby. But then again My mother is not running for the vice presidency of the United states and I don't...

So according to a new scientific study there is a direct correlation between how your bedroom smells and the dreams you have. So if you smell Roses for example, your dreams should be nice and sweet. However, if you smell rotten eggs before going to sleep...
I have been home sick - so what better to do than bake a chocolate cake? Decided to try one without eggs and found this one. If you like the "american taste" chocolate cake (type Betty Crocker) then this is the one. I, who often mess up recipies, didnt...
So Today was the first preparation class for the Birth (apparently something I am ready to think about now) That amongst others things, like breastfeeding and child-care when going back to work. It might seem a bit early but in a big city like Paris you...
This week had been long awaited by Pan and I and now its over. With the second scanning showing all ten fingers and toes, a moving (and we like to believe happy) baby, and a doctor looking fast between its legs (hmmm I think I might have seen a big bump.....
When my designer friends talk about an idea they have had for a long time, and it is suddenly used by someone else, I normally don't get how deeply upsetting that is and am not really able to relate. But now, after reading the most read article ever in...
...that is not really why I stopped blogging a year ago. Why did I stop? I started something else. many new things actually. It's crazy, but having a full-time job and two small kids doesn't actually leave you alot of time to use on personal stuff like...

Typical day at the family home: Mr.F is jumping around and screaming "I have to pee, I have to pee". I say, in Icelandic, "Drífðu þig og pissaðu inn á baði" (Hurry up and go to the bathroom") Little did I know, and what a drama when I told him off for...
It does not stop snowing - and it hasn't since christmas. Which is lovely, although the only way I have enjoyed is through my windows, I have not been outside for what seems like an eternity! (not like Mr. F who could not believe how cold this weird white...
The cirkus show Les Arts Sauts Wondering what to write... these thoughts are flying through my mind... I could try to explain the time when Michael decided to have grief councelling at the office because he found out that his former boss had died. He...
In this year I stopped working (on the blog), many follow-up posts could have been possible. The riots eventually died down in London - although rumours of an impending disaster on the financial markets haven't, the killer of Utøya got sentenced to life...
Should I bake the Rat for the mothergroup next monday?? Hmmmm..if I dont want them to come again, that would be an idea. Think I'll be more traditional and bake Scones or these ,what they call biscuits (biscuits for me are crispy and flat) but really...
Had such a great day. The girls at work had planned a proper babyshower today at Amanda's place - that is Alexandra (which has previously been referred to as the best assistant ever here on this blog) made the invites, told people what to bring (cakes,...
That news blackout didn't last long. (first of all my phone keeps sending me Le Monde updates about the stockmarkets, not once a day but 6 times a day! Every bloody time a market opens or closes, whether they are low, high or haven't changed, Le Monde...
Name of the picture above: "Gender equality in Sweden" Today is Women's day as google is so good reminding us. Some people do not need a reminder. I cannot help but think that since there is an international Women's day however, there should be one for...
This weekend in a shop nearby. Me: You want blue or black? Mr F: I want purple Me: You want blue, purple or black socks (showing them all, equally close)? Mr F: I want the purple ones. Those with the hearts on them. Mr F chose his socks himself. I swear...
As time goes by and we get closer to D-day (which is more of a do-day than the traditional decision-day and Im setting it 10 days after my cerclage will be taken out- so 3rd of January 2009) there are plenty of things to think about - like getting the...
So yes, everyday I feel I change many times during the day...to the point of not knowing anymore who I am when I go to bed. At 6 am it feels like someone ripped out my intestines and that I am the next victim in a terrible horror movie that is so pathetic...
Pretty drawings. copyright: sjoesjo in the Netherlands After a wonderful week of vacation, sun, olives, family time and "nice" ambiance it was back to work. To have those shiny moments still in mind and keep the dream living, I surfed some design blogs....
