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. But one thing I always do is to snap photos on a daily basis. The smartphone is the best thing ever for me when it comes to taking photos. Before … Continue reading The Changala life through my Camera roll
Finally, kids are going back to physical school this week! No one is happier than me. I usually do all the school runs so it means early mornings, but it also means undisturbed days and no mum our auntie shouting around the house. 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
Summer is sweeping by and we are trying our best to enjoy it at the same time as not being to sentimental, since this is the last Swedish summer in a while. We have been to the beach, walked in the woods, barbecued and biked. Me and Alice read a lot (check out my bookstagram if you feel like getting some reading tips). Mayani is … Continue reading Small snippets of Summer from my camera roll
Words from in the middle of the packing and move out of our apartment (have not left Sweden yet), some time back, was to tired afterwards to even post it: “I just sat down in the sofa after putting on the dish washer and connecting my phone to our bluetooth speaker. The sofa, the tv, a kitchen table and a small chaise is all that … Continue reading Moving from Sweden to Zambia
Just a quick check in. I am still around. Still struggling with burn out symptoms and still trying to get better. Still feeling like winter almost killed me, but that feeling is there every Spring. This year Spring is teasing us and delaying a bit too long but, we have had some beautiful days and as usual I am there with my (phone) camera trying … Continue reading Delayed Spring and snapshots
Hi! I hope you are having a nice end of the week and feel ready for Monday. I have had a better week, and am starting to feel all the benefits from my (on and off the mat) yoga practice. I sleep better, I feel less pain in my body, I have more energy, I feel happier and more confident in my own abilities. Burn … Continue reading Sundays with us
It has been a good weekend at our house. On Saturday we got the good news that Biden/Harris won! Finally the counting was done and we all could breath out for a bit. I believe in character and role models, and kicking Trump out of the White House gives the world hope. Having a leader with that much power being able to say so many … Continue reading Weekend at The Changalas
So, we are flying to Lusaka over the Holidays and are staying for about five week. I can not emphasize enough how much I need this trip, this time of the year. And one thing I do when I am looking forward to something, I start preparing far ahead, maybe even too far ahead. This time it felt really necessary. We usually travel with Ethiopian … Continue reading 13 things to think of when packing for a longer trip
Hi after a long time! This is winter! Summer disappeared and so did I. Most of Autumn was spent working and reading and trying to catch as much sunshine as possible until the darkness arrived. I managed quite okay until the end of October when I got a cold and after that it has just continued being hard. This week I got a flare again … Continue reading Soon time for Holiday in Zambia
Can´t take much credit for this garden but am still going to brag a little bit about it. Or I wont write so much about it, maybe just leave the photos here to look at later this year when it is getting cold and harsh and grey and unfertile, and did I mention cold? I leave them here like a mental memory, a note, an … Continue reading Summer garden update
