Sad attempt of calming nerves...

Sooo... ScabbyHouse is being viewed today and I've cleaned it top to bottom and I can't find anything else to clean so. now. I. wait.
Realtor will be here about half an hour before viewing starts...so I've got about another hour to just wait and brace myself from climbing up on the roof to scrub that clean too.

PleasePleasePlease mote it all go well...!

For those of you who don't follow (or can be bothered google translating ;)) the "home blog" I'll share a photo of my next home - BlueHouse. :) Yesterday I finally had the signed rental-agreement in my hand so now it's official. :)

A two bedroom rental on the first floor. Bonus is that it's on the gable of the building so there's lots of windows - Light. :) We get keys to BlueHouse May 2nd. 

:) :) :)

Now. Keep fingers, toes, legs, arms crossed that sale of ScabbyHouse goes smoooothly! Can't wait for the future to begin... :)

Man in the arena

Just had to find the quote Brené mentioned in her ted talk on shame. Here it is. :)

Dare greatly!

Love,


"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

  - Theodore Roosevelt
"Citizenship in a Republic,"

Brené Brown: Listening to shame

I posted Brené's talk on vulnerability last february. It has gotten a HUMONGOUS amount of hits on TED  and YouTube. If you've not yet seen it....please take the time to listen to it. It had an enormous inpack on me and now TED.com have now posted another talk with Brené, now on shame. *yay*

Again...a wow video! Watch it!!

Love&Light,

Smaller all of a sudden?

OK, I really should be in bed by now but...posting my previous post I noticed the font size being kinda small on the blog... Has it always been that small? Is it too small?? I prefer smaller font size to bigger... Blogs with huge font annoy me to bits and make me wanna scream I'm not blind! ;)

The most annoying thing is that the font size is not the same in 'the blog posting page' as it is once I've finally posted it onto the blog itself...??? Hmmm.... :/ :\

I think I should be able to adjust the setting somewhere...if ya'll find it to be too small.
Let me know alright? :) :) :)

Everything's OK

Just what I needed!

Stressed out, panicking over this house selling nonsense, life, motherhood, studies etc. and so on. Out of "nowhere" ;) ;) this little thing appeared and let me exhale in the midst of all this chaos... :) Won't you try it out too??

Thankful,

House tour!

So, ScabbyHouse is finally out on the market and interest seems to be gooood. We had a first (terrible!) offer made on it before it had been out for a full day...

Here's photos of not-looking-too-ScabbyHouse, taken last Friday. :)

Front of our little scabby house with garage at the back.

Welcome!

 Our, never-ever this tidy, hallway with stairs down at the back of photo and entry to kitchen on  the left.

The kitchen, from hallway.

Kitchen, opposite direction. Opening to the right, in the middle takes you through to out little bathroom and the bedroom. From bedroom you get to living room and back to hallway.

GREAT fun for kiddies to run round and round and round 'til someone runs into kitchen island or similar hard object and tears follow! ;)

Living room with fire place and ancient TV (both uncommon in the most common of Swedish houses ;)). There's the bedroom and hallway too. :)

Upstairs bedroom.

'Playroom' downstairs. Little Man's bedroom to the left.

Little Man's bedroom.

Across the back hallway you'll find Little E's room. Door on right take you to 'laundry room' and back to again to the 'playroom'.

And there ya have it! My sweet, in need of some TLC, ScabbyHouse. :) Hope you enjoyed the tour! :) :) :)
Love&Light,
