She helps out feeding the dogs at her uncles farm.

She is a sunshine, and she makes her aunt laugh.

She loves apple juice.

She is a very peculiar little person.

Nothing wrong with her marching balance.

Mamma had no idea where we were going.




But golf makes her happy.



She has a strong and positive spirit.



She has just gotten her first dark grey iPod nano and dances with it, sings with it and sleeps with it. =)



She is the cutest and most beautiful woman I know of.

Frog and cow

Frida's got a cow, Auntie's got a frog.

After a beautiful walk in the sun, we ended up downtown at one of our favourite nighttime restaurants and chattet about our dreams for a couple of hours. Enjoying our walk back home just as much in the cooler air, everything around us was lit golden by the street lights. Breathing in what's fresh and watching my favourite part of the evening turn dark made this night into such a pretty memory.

Today I recieved my first Ekolåda! The delivery guy was very accommodating, because I wasn't at home when he came to deliver, so one of my neighbours had to let him in.
The smell of the veggies was very pleasant, like something I remember from our own garden house at home when I was a child, hadn't quite expected this to be a reminder of times past. I haven't actually tasted anything yet, but I am just about to.
My snail seemed happy though, it came out of it's shell for the first time in days to check out the new goodies around him/her. Happy family!

This is Earth Hour in Stockholm!
One extra powerful light is signaling to Batman.

Looking to the future!
I've always been excited about new ideas, thoughts and general philosophy, and now I see change.
Relief, enthusiasm and love!

Eco-me

Just started my ecofriendlier self today! After chemically treating my hair at the hairdressers(...)---> Bought shampoo and conditioner from Body Shop after reading an article about the scary chemicals we all surround ourselves with everyday without thinking about it(or at least I didn't). Read a short article about Anita Roddick today as well, fascinating and inspiring to read about women who empowers themselves like she did. Strong!
Also just ordered my first delivery from www.ekoladan.se, a Swedish firm delivering ecofriendly food products to your door every week. Very cool! Looking forward to that box now, getting hungry and eager to test all that's in it just by reading about it.
