Yesterday was Lego Sunday. A few hours of building in the morning and then a trip to Anaheim Lego store because the toothless here is celebrating his 7th on Sunday!

and now he is 3

S will be 3 tomorrow (Thursday). I could write a really long post about how this day makes me feel. But I won’t. Somehow I don’t have the words. I will be very unoriginal and say … 3? how did that happen. My baby. All I want to do is look at him and make [...]

one of those days… except it’s been almost two weeks

Yes, I have had one of those days. When you have things planned out. Then sh.. stuff happens. Except it lasted for two weeks. First a little one got sick. Fever, congestion, coughing.

california poppies after rain

It is raining right now. I don;t remember when it rained this late in the year. This is the Southern California after all. But thanks to the rain, the desert is blooming. This is what it looks like now at the Antelope Valley State Park, which is one of the few places in California, where [...]

hallo, kaka?

This morning, Sven took a diaper (a clean, one. he insists to pick one before he needs to be changed), put it to his ear and said: Hello, kaka? Do I need to say I laughed. A lot. For a long time. He is a very funny kid. Cannot belive he will be two soon. [...]

couldn’t wait to get out

He just couldn’t wait. As soon as he woke up, he put all his gear on (all, even the helmet) and wanted to get out into fresh snow. This is the most snow he has seen in his life. One happy kid. (last night when they finally came to the hotel, he told my husband [...]

it was cold, but worth it

Last week we decided to go to a park on the beach after school. It was one of rare days we don’t have some activity after school, and with days being short, playgroung playtime is cut short. But I forgot my jacket, and with the sun setting and a gentle breeze at the beach, my [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
