Healthier life

I would say that I have really changed my lifestyle. 
To the better. 

I do not eat sugar anymore. Including in the tea, as I loved to have. 
We eat tons of vegetables today. I do need to have it everyday. 

More often eggs or something like that for a breakfast, or some fruits that having tons of breads. 

A steady lunch, ad either something light for a dinner, or basically tea with something to do. 

I eat fruits everyday.

I read a line in a magazine, that I really started to go after. 
"woman gain wight, as they think they can eat as their husband" 

Yes I have had that thought. 
If he can, So can I. 
I do eat much less now.
I do not drink alcohol, the way I did use to.. 
which was MUCH

I do feel better. I do feel like I have more energy. 
I feel better in my body. I feel that we show our girl, how it is to eat good. 

That cookies and cakes are not for everyday use. 

but even still I do all these changes. 
And stopped my "treats" that I started to give myself very often.

Even though, I can't seem to loose a kilo of weight. 

I did, after not eating for 5 days, and just running to toilet. But not really a way to do it. 
As soon as I ate, the kilos came back. 

I do not know, what to do. It starting to be very heavy this thing. 

Please give me advice what to do. I do not understand. 

second part

This is what came out of the trousers. 

A nice oversize blouse. 
Perfect for the BBQ as I said it. 


 I miss my mannequin..


I have some pink ribbons


and some elastic in the back. 



My husband didn't like this one. But I have fallen for it. 
Nice and big and oversize. 

Concert

We went to a concert the other day. 

Was fun, was a Bolivian rock band, playing together with the philharmonica in Cochabamba. 

I liked it

Planing birthday party!

Can't belive it our little girl  it turning one in just one week. 


I am sitting and planing for the foods, and the desserts. 


We ave games, and some nice prices for the games. And very fun location with a swimming pool.
And some horse will be there for short time so the kids can ride it. 


We're thinking of having this:
Swedish Smörgåstårta



Just not to sure about the fillings. Any ideas?
Then some hot dogs. 

And now to desserts, I am not a fan of ordinary birthday cakes, as I am not a fan of cream. 

So thinking:

Snoddas

skolebröd


and cheese cake. 


As we wont give her any gift this year, I think she is to small to understand anyway. And she get this big party instead. 
As she wont understand is for her. But anyway. 

I want it to be fun and have good food and drinks!

Sooo funny!!

Exhausted

Today I am exhausted. 
Exhausted from not eating properly for long time. 
Exhausted from not be able to communicate as I want. 
From not having my own space and home.
from not knowing anyone here. 

Just exhausted. 

And it seems to be so strange around here that I am exhausted.

Counting up these reasons, I would understand anyone.

altered shirt

You don't need to through away clothes that do not fit you. 
Most things you can alter in one way or another. 


Like this one, was a long-sleeved shirt.
But was to short for him to wear, so I simply shorten the sleeves.
voila! A shirt that fits.  

Think what we could save of energy and resources, if instead of always buying new things, we started to alter and fix the old things.  

My Love

One thing that is the best, that is to be a mother. 
To have a life, that you have created is amazing. 



The feeling that you always wanna do better. 

To be a better person, for your baby. 


To make the world a better place, for my love. 



Because how could I not love this one to bits??

travel stomach no 2

Then I am with a travel stomach again. 

Damn it!

Translate

I think it is so weird.
 I would like to add a translation option, so people can read the posts in their language, but I can't

Anyone that have had the same problem and know how to manage it??

I want everybody to be able to read this.

GARDENING

I need a house again!
A house so I can work in the garden. Plant flowers and vegetables. 
It is so much fun, and I haven't done it in years. 

Until now!
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I was working in the garden here. 
Preparing a part of it, so we can grow vegetables. 

Mixed soil, with compost soil, and a soil as they called it
"vegetable soil".
It was needed, as the soil are almost just sand and stones. 

Here it is!
Maybe it doesn't looks like I did so much.
But...

This is how it looked in the other part, where I didn't do anything yet. 

All the small stones as you can see in the bottom of the picture, I got up from the soil 

More big stones in a pile. 


So I am rather happy with the result like this. 


 Oh I want a house and a garden!

Diaper cover

We use washable diapers. 
Not only, but when at home, yes. Or going on shorter trips, then yes. 

But as our girl is getting bigger, we need more covers for the diapers. 
As they are only up to certain kilos.
So of course I started to look where I could buy them. 

And I tried to find good once and rather cheap once. 

And so one day I ordered but the covers never came. 
And they never came and they never came. 

So my first thought was of course to reorder them. 
And so it hit me!

WHY DO I NOT MAKE MY OWN???

I have the machine, why on earth should I buy it, as they are expensive when I can really make them. 
Ans should be rather easy. 

Then I also in all this got very upset. 
The market are so good. Even I that do not like to buy things. 
That tries to make or do as much as possible myself.
My first thought is to go and buy the covers. 

Damn the market is good. 

But anyway, here comes some nice covers!

This is the first one. As you all can see, it was really the first one. 

Then came the second one. Much better, If I can have the vote. 


Here we have a closer look on the third one. 
The absolutely best so far. 


All three of them here, You can really see the different from the first to the last.


And put one more picture of the last one so far, I am very pleased with the result.


So, if anyone needs diaper covers, or know anyone that needs covers, now you know where to turn. 

The good one with these, are that inside is plastic, most you buy is fabric. so everything turns wet, and these keep it better intact.

things from La paz

When we where in La paz, we went to a big outside market, where they do have everything. 

Bought some things.

A blouse, think for me just to use.. 


Maybe for a quilt. Not sure yet...



Definitely for a quilt. 



The most horrible trousers ever seen. But the fabric are nice. 
Ca do something nice maybe.. 




For a quilt as well. 

So just to hang on and see how the end results will be like!


Before and after

I sewed a new cover for a friends armchair. 





not the best fitting, but without proper tape measure or any needles, I think it went rather ok.

Plånboken

I was listening to a radio show, on the Swedish radio. 
Plånboken.

It was regarding receipts, that today you can get electronic receipts instead of a paper one. 
The only thing you need to do is to sign up on a web site, tell your email or phone number. 
Then you will get a personal number, this one you will tell everytime you shop and voila!
you have the receipt in your mailbox or as an sms. 

Good, as you now never will loose any, which can be good in cases of returning shoes, etc etc. 

BUT

In sweden we have a law, authorizes the state to warrantlessly wiretap all telephone and Internet traffic that crosses Sweden's borders. And as most of the internet traffic is on international servers. Most of the traffic is taped. 

So, not only can they read our emails, they can also now see what we buy, when we buy it and for how much we bought it. 
If we used cash or card and also the credit/debit card number. 

Isn't that fantastic that people have this information about you?

Sweden is watching me...

It is not big and spectacular, as I can imagine that Macchu Picchu is, but it was very interesting.
