The article

Here is a scan of the article from last friday. I was so surprised that Maria Montazami was one of the housewives they contacted. She is so sweet and so cool! I love her! Anyway I will translate the article for you.

"I belive we have Desperate Housewives to thank, for the increasing popularity of beeing a housewife. I have been home for about 5 years and usually gets 3 reactions... 1. Lucky you who has a rich huband. 2. poor you, you dont have a job. and 3. Poor you who has a husband that wont let you work. Rarely you get a genuin reaction "thats so good for you that you choose to stay home". I have been a housewife both in Sweden and Canada and it is a bit more exepted there than here.

Is there not a lot of cleaning?

Yes! There is a terrible amount of cleaning, sometimes you just have to leave the crap and go out and play. I have some sort of a cleaning schedule- bathrooms twice a week and I vacuum

 every day. My kids and I play a lot have have tons of fun, and go look at animals. I just made a cake since my youngest turns 1 today.

Thats the lot kids! Sorry for the bad translation...  ;)

The good housewifes guide

I know I posted something like this before but this the actual article. It´s funny how times has changed... I think most of the things are good and some are not... Can you guess wich ones I don´t agree with? ;)

A housewife- hot of the press

well. I am done making the cake when I got a phonecall from Expressen a national newspaper in Sweden and they wanted to interview me since I am a stay at home mom.. :) Thats funny! So I am looking out for my picture in the paper next week :)

Now I better go fix the rest of the birthday decorations and I will post pictures later on. Here is a picture of the cake as a teaser;) I decided to not go for the traditional round cake but a sqare just for variation. OOOH! Exotic!
Just kidding :)

You know you´r a tired mom when...

* You wonder why there is a hole in the bottom of the kids pj´s and no room for the head... Hm... I put it on upside down....

* It´s the most natural thing in the world that you have an audience in the bathroom.

* You almost wiped yourself with a dinosaur... Luckily your kid din´t wanna play with toiletpaper and you realized your mistake just in time...

* You put on a tiny diaper on you toddler and he is the only on to react...

* You get smacked in the face with a toy for falling asleep on the sofa...

It is all my own experiences... enjoy!

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 :)

Boys will be boys

Good morning! As usual I am up early with my darling boy and I just  wanted to tell you what my son to be 3 year old son did yestoday. We were both out in the backyard and he took his little bike to a hill and got up and got it rolling - fast! Luckily I was there to catch him before he fell off. Then as I turned my back on him he got up again and down he went fast as lightening and all I could see in the corner of my eye is how he rolled straight into my rhubarbs with a "whooooooooooooh!" And there he was, crached on the ground with the bike on top of him and he looked at me in triumph and said " fun mom!" He was just lucky not to hit his head on something! Cheeky boy!

Now I have to wake the older children who needs to be of for school soon.

Se you later or as we say in swedish

Vi ses!
