Who am I?

I am a woman living with my family in the countryside in Southern of Sweden. I am happly married, christian, mother of two children, and I have a lot of ideas spinning around in my head. Crafting, baking, how to be resurceful of things in nature, how to develop small things in our society so that tourists find here, event ideas, etc. Many seem to think that just because you live in the countryside you have nothing to do, but it's definitely not true. Here's a lot to do if you just open your eyes, here can also be a total silence and a total calm.

At the same time, I am a hard working mother who has to be a little careful. In 2007, I suffered from exhaustion syndrome due to the working situation. Immediately after my sickleave, I went to 3 years of parental leave. I am extremely grateful that the exhaustion syndrome struck before we had children. A little glimpse of how incredibly fragile life and even health can be. Sometimes I feel that everything is getting to much and then I have to take a few steps back, let go of everything, just rest and focus on my family.

Why do I blog? Frankly, I do not really know. It's not because I want everyone out there to know everything I do. You who read will know a little selective part of my life. I will not hang out my family or my friends here. Perhaps I blog because I think this is a convenient way to collect recipes I tested, because more people will understand how wonderful it is to live in the countryside, so that more people are grateful for their own lives. I do not strive to get rich or famous, I strive to be happy and grateful for everything here and now. I am grateful that my faith in God is my safety, thankful for my family, thankful for seeing the beautiful and wonderful in the simple, grateful that I may live in this country.

(If you think I'm spell badly or throwing around the words, it is beacuse I'm having some writing difficulties. Hope you have a bit of anxiety with this.) 

A cold winner's day in the late 1980's this little baby (me) was born, far too early.

I am age-old in the middle of a very big Group of siblings. A lovely crowd of whole- and halfsiblings who I love a lot.

We did not have so much money but we had love in abundance and it is absolutely the most important.
