Free MP3 Books

I just found this amazing website where you can download soundbooks for free to you computer! Great! I need a change for my morning walks and a book would be much better than my old music on my phone, so tomorrow I am going to listen to " Sense and  Sensibility" by Jane Austen. You´ll find the books here.

Perfect!!

Monday Monday

Got up at 5,45 todya again and took my hour walk. No sun today, to bad. Today I have a chill day. Not much to do exept the usual, looking after the little ones, cleaning, cooking, changing diapers... I am going to shop for some vegetables and going to give the kids some money to buy flowers for their teachers since its last school day on thursday. And when I am out I will take a 40 min walk with the stroller. All for health and fitness... sigh. How I wish I was one of those naturally skinny persons that can eat anything anytime and still be 100 lbs... not fare. Well... I have 20 lbs of pregnancyweight left and my daughter turns 1 on wednesday, scandalous! After G was born it took me 10 months to drop the pregnancyweight. It´s a lot harder this time around! And after that is gone I still have 17,5 lbs left to my goal weight. Yipiekayey...

Tips to survive life as a stay at home mom

1. Nap.. if there is any chance of a nap.. take it! You´ll never know when you´ll be able to sleep nest or for how long...

2. Take a brake. Me and V regularly has a move night with cheese and crackers or just go for a walk alone or with a friend, but NO KIDS! You need adult time.

3. Face the facts- your house will never look like a Martha Stewart magazine while you have little kids, unless you have a fulltime nanny or a housekeeper... but then again.. who does?

4. Find time to do things you like a few times a week, scrapbooking, quilting, going to the gym.

5. Drop the guilt! It is the most comon most dangerous things that could happen to a mother. Let the guilt bite the dust. You´r not a bad mom just cuz you want to be alone sometimes. :)

Bty.. I am working on all of these things, I need to get better...

Just do it!

Today I have been frezing rhubarbs for the third timme this year. They keep growing like crazy and I am extatic! We also seem to be able to get alot of strawberries from our new garden :) But it will not be enough for all the things I have planned to make this summer. I am going to make strawberrylomonade, strawberryjam, and just regular frozen strawberries for smoothies and cakes. Luckily we live close by to a "pick you self" field of the most amazing strawberries. In our own garden we also have apples, gooseberries and currantbushes so I have a ton of things to can and freeze! Lovely!

And who can resist fresh sunwarm strawberries with milk and sugar? ;)

Spring market

Today the town I live in has a little market down by the old smithy and we go every year and my little boy G always gets so exited around all the people and animals. Last year I was 7 days overdue and not so happy about the heat but this time I am kicki´n it! It´s so much fun looking att all the stuff, getting som ideas for decorating my home and buying some faircandy for the kids. V is joining us with her son and G is totally in live with her so he is extatic! Well, I better get ready cuz it starts in 1 1/2 hrs and my husband is still in bed while I am up with the kids. Is that a man thing to always sleep in while the mom is awake early with kids every day???

SATC Charlotte is a sissy whimp

Last night me and my good friend V went to see a movie. SATC2, it was filled with fashion no one would ever wear IRL and it was funny I admit but there was not much brain I tell you. There was a part in the movie where Charlotte lockes herself in the penrty to get away from her kids constant yelling and crying. Any stay at home mother kinda feels with her cuz we all have moments like that when its all overwhelming, but later on she was talkning to Miranda about this and then she said "Being a mother is hard and I have a fulltime nanny" And then they toasted to all mothers that don´t have nannys- and they had no clue how they survive... What the heck?! If I had a fulltime nanny my house would look like a museem all the time and I would always be happy and rested. My friend V comented on this after the move and we both agreed that Charlotte is a sissy whimp! All power to all stay at home moms with no fulltime nannys! Not that I would mind a part time one sometimes :)

17 with 3 children

Right now both my little ones are sleeping and I have a moment for just me. I am waching a program online about a girl who had 3 children by 17. She had her first at 16 and had twins by 17. I am not promoting teenage pregnancy but this girl really impresses me. She is very mature and down to earth. I am very impressed. The program is in swedish but you can watch it here on her blog http://mammabecka.se/

What do you all think about teenagepregnancies? What is the best way to prevent it from happening?
