As time moves and the summer (in Sweden) passes by, I still find myself writing small bits and pieces. I didn´t continue with the classic literature course since I early on felt it was not what I wanted right now. I just want to write creatively about anything I feel like writing about. I journal. I sit with my writing projects and try to write … Continue reading Still thinking about writing
As usual when I don’t have time to publish something here it is because I am extra busy. Things happening in my life that takes me away from the writing momentum I need, to be able to create. And this time the things that happened where joyful and fun. My parents have been visiting and we took a trip to Northern Zambia that we have … Continue reading Thoughts on seasons
The time we live in have had me thinking a lot about the privileges I have in my life right now. For example such a simple thing as a safe home. It is very sad to think about how many people around the world that does not have a home, none the less a safe one. I have one. My family have one, we are … Continue reading What makes a home?
Sometimes life just spins on and I don´t have space to put down in words what is going on. I journal less, I write less and I come up with less ideas for the blog.

This weekend we have been preparing for school and making sure we have the most important stuff for an easy start. We … Continue reading Weekend of wood work and school prep

We are all still right in the pandemic and here in Zambia we are just in the slow down of the forth wave. That meant that the government pushed the school start forward, from the 10th of January to the 24th. And as parents putting their … Continue reading January funk
New year, new dreams? For me, not really. Same dreams and time is just moving on. To be honest I had nothing against leaving 2021 behind. It was a year of great things, like a intercontinental move, but also a year of loss. My grand mother died in April, we left Sweden behind (I love living in Zambia but when having two countries there is … Continue reading Farm dreams
We arrived! Actually, we arrived almost exactly five weeks ago. We have been very busy so have not had any time to even reflect on arriving. I am still in the phase were I am realizing that we are staying here, and are not only here on vacation. I keep looking at my weather app (Swedes, you know what I am talking about), and thinking … Continue reading Lusaka we are in (and the first month has been hectic)
A late night update on what I decided to do tonight. In pain and all but resting in between. Putting decor plastic on the chassis of the stroller to protect it and give it an all black look. And oh my, it is taking me forever! Well, here is the result so far. Will give you an update on the project when I find energy … Continue reading A stroller update
