X-mas songs;=)

I am cleaning the apartment and fixing the x-mas ham and x-mas tree and to get into the x-mas mood I play Sarah Brightmans album, a Winter Symphony;=)

Here are some of the music for you to get in the mood with:





Busy

Good morning!

I didnt have any time to dress our x-mas tree yesterday cause the food shopping took our time, but today when Seth finishes school in 2 hours we´ll do it so photos will be here later.

The sun is shining so bright and beautiful today but it´s cold again -10. We have started to use the seating part of Nemos pram and he loves it! He can see everything and play with his toys while we´re out;=)
He also got to taste porridge yesterday and he loved it so he got it this morning too. Just small taste portions but they say its best to introduce a little bit of normal food when they are 4-6 months and now he´s 4,5 so I think it´s a good time.

2 more days until x-mas eve and I am sure all kids are super exited!

See you a little bit later;=)

Thanks

Good morning and a big thank you for all the tips about my hands and nails;=) I´ll go and get some peeling, a new e-vitamine cream, an anti-age cream and some gloves and let you know the results after using them. I am so grateful for all of you taking time to help me with my little hand problem;=)

Now it´s time for my morning exercise. Nemo is sleeping so now is the best time to do it. In the afternoon we´re going to buy all the x-mas food and things to make some x-mas candy and tonight we will decorate our x-mas tree;=) I´ll show you photos of course!

Seth has one more day in school, after that 3 weeks of x-mas vacation for him;=)

Ok, back a little later. Enjoy the day!

Ssschhh....;=)


Today I have been Santa´s little helper and have gotten all the x-mas gifts for Seth and Nemo;=) And even if I dont like X-mas that much, I love getting gifts for others. I can´t reveal today what I got for them but I will tell you when they have opened them of course.

I started my morning by painting my nails in a nice x-mas colour from OPI. I am a nail-biter so I dont have any nice long nails and if I dont paint them I bite them down immediately. And my hands look dry and old so I think it´s time to start caring about them. I have never been a person who moisturizes my hands with creams and stuff but I really think they look horrible at the moment, so if you have any advices how to make them look fresher, please let me know;=)

After the x-mas shopping, we ate waffels and it was so good! Put some Brie cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, sour cream, avocado and a shrimp mix on it and yummie!


Now it´s time to read for Seth and then I´m gonna get my exercise with the lovely kettlebell. Get the pump going!
Enjoy the evening!

Recipe

So, here is the recipe for the blueberry pie and vanilla sauce I promised:

The pie (can also be filled with raspberries if you prefer that):

Put 150gram of blueberries or raspberries in a form

Melt 20-25 gram of butter
Whip up 1 to 2 eggs
Add 3 dl of coconut flakes and 1 teaspoon of cardemom or cinnamon (or mix both like I did)
Pour down the butter and stir to a paste

Pour the paste above the berries and put into the oven at 200 degrees until the cocoa flakes are golden brown and a bit crunchy.

Vanilla sauce:
Take 3 egg yolks and 3 dl of cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder and if you want it a bit sweeter, add a sweetener like Canderel. Whip for some minutes to a bit more solid paste.

Enjoy!

Movie and a pie

Good evening and happy 4th of Advent;=)

It´s been a day filled with activities so havent had any time to blog until now. I am heading to bed after sitting half-sleeping before a movie;=) Very tired...

Tonight I made a blueberry pie and to that home-made vanilla sauce. So yummie! I can write down the recipe tomorrow, cause right now I just need to sleep.

Sleep tight everyone!

Bling bling for x-mas

Now when all the x-mas parties and new years parties are heading our way it´s always nice with some bling bling to put on to the little black dress;=) If you want something nice or maybe a x-mas present in the last minute, here´s some nice stuff I found in a site called Kyssjohanna.


Amazing bracelets!



Beautiful earrings;=)


Lovely necklaces!

And rings, of course a skull ring, my favourite;=) And the green gecko-ring are so cute;=)

I love this bracelet from Pamela Love, but its sooo expensive!
