Having time for ourselves!

Lately, me and my hubby had been busy from anything or everything. The adjustments for our new member of the family, coping up on our economic situation, me being in the state of hormonal changes. Plus, almost all our conversations were about our short term and long term plans, but we didn't realize that we have no more time for ourselves. Mentally we are torturing ourselves to focus on the 'kingdom forgetting the king'. I mean we forgot who and what is more important.

My favorite food in the retaurant I chose:)

Good we sense it right away. So, yesterday after his work my husband told me that he missed going out to eat which we usually do before. Then I realized thats what I missed too, so we did and we had a nice time together with our children. Unwinding from everything we've been through for the past weeks.

Don't be missed up with anything important here on earth. Our family and the relationship and quality time together is more important and the other things will just followed. Have a great weekend everyone!

Problem in my pregnancy!

I'm lack of iron:(

This is always been my problem even from my childhood. And iron is very important when pregnant. It craves more iron than normal when you are bearing a child. So, during our check-up, I was already expecting it. The same way when I was pregnant with Laikka. So as usual the doctor gave me the iron tablet that I used to take during laikka's time! I thought, we thought it will work good for me in the same way too, but we are wrong! This time I got some problem. It causes me constipation and weee..I don't like it! Specially when it attacks during my working time or at school where I had a problem using public toilets.

So, I went back to my doctor and she explained that it can really happen. Every pregnancy are not the same and the same way with its needs. So, she just let me try to take the medicine every other day this time instead of daily BUT... I have to eat foods everyday that has rich iron in it which I hate most of them..heheh. But I need to do it, even the fresh salad should have like persilla, and liver pastel as my sandwich spread! uuh! but its for my own good and for my baby:)

Our first grill this season:)

Since we had a long winter this year, almost all people here are so excited waiting for the summer to come. Which of course to do the things that portrays summer time! Number one is having picnic barbecue grilling outside!

Today, we had a wonderful weather. The sun was shining the whole day! It already smells summer actually hehe:) While I was at work, my husband called me that his sister inviting us a dinner. They have to grill pork outside since the weather is s

o perfect! Without their knowledge, I was really wishing and imagining about it that day. I suppose will suggest my husband to do so at home but then here comes the perfect invitation..hhehe!

Oh, it was really so good. I felt so satisfied. It feels like I haven't eaten like that in already one decade! lolzzz. The combination was so perfect -fresh salad, potato fries with yummy sauce! Oh the best!!! Plus, the nice time bonding as a family..We chat, we laugh and shared funny experiences and even summer vacation plans:) Thanks Mia and Patrick..you're the best!!!

Became the Favorite!

I just wonder why I love arroscaldo now:) All I knew was that I don't like it before-I thought it has complicated taste and smell. I was just used to eat the plain rice porridge with a little salt on it then paired with fried fish. Or if dried fish, we don't need to put salt. And thats it! I always ended up my meal sweating..hahaha!

But then when I got here and became pregnant with Laikka which as I recall I had a problem on my eating habit. I don't want to eat anything other than the plain porridge at night. So one of my filipina friend upon knowing it did an arroscaldo when I visited her and tried to convinced me to eat, I may like it she said. Cause its good for me, its already complete, there's a chicken and some native spices on it. Wow it was really so good and I found it so addictive. I don't know if I'll say she's the best arroscaldo maker or its just because its my kind of food for the season..hehe because from that time, its only arroscaldo I ate to survive until 4months on my pregnancy period. I learned doing it in my own special way:)

Even if my husband don't eat it, I still longed for it every now and then. And find my way to do some and shared it to Laikka and she love it too. Yap, this time again, I do it almost every day:) Now it became our favorite! Happy Sunday:)

Just Dropping by!!!

Because I gave myself a time last weekend to just stay home and relax, all we did is cook and eat, play with my girl and sleep:) ooohhh!!! That was a great time!

Evey sunday, my aunt and her hubby used to take exercise to the gym where my aunt work..hehe yap, its free for them:) Anyway, the place is near to us, so since we were just home, they decided to drop by after working out:) My husband also had a good mode to cook so knowing they will come, he did a "potatis grating with köttfärs" :) heheh don't know the name in english but it was so perfect meal paired to grilled porkchop then a fresh vegetables salad!!! (take note mine has rice as you can see in the pic:)...waaaahhh! double carbohydrates).

We had a nice time together and talking, planning whatever:) Thanks for dropping by!!! YOU?? wants to drop by??? heheeh! Have a nice day!!!

THE BIRTHDAY!!!

My husband celebrated his birthday last weekend:) He became 37yrs. old now and this age suppose no big party to do because as I said, swedish people just celebrates thier birthday with a big party when their age ends on '0' like 10,20,30... hhaha, and he said a week ago that we don't need to prepare a celebration for him until he will be 40yrs. old!

But..,ah,uh,ah! unfortunately he has a filipina wife who believe that every year is worth to celebrate. Specially this past few months, I think we have so much to celebrate, and I'm also thankful that God gave me this man:)
I feel so tired but at the same time so proud and happy to see him and his family happy:) My husband are so thankful and I can see satisfaction and hapiness within him.
I can't believe, I already know how to cook foods like these:) heheh. I don't cook when I was still single, I just start trying when I got married and lived here.

Having a nice time:) Just talking about everything:)

He recieved all nice gifts and perfect for him. Her mother and uncle gave a new DVD player, His pappa and family gave a silver lamp. And from siblings and his new family..(my side of family:) he recieved nice ones like a dozen of plates, USB8gb, 'verktyg', candle holder, a massage present card, and a cash:) Angelikka's gift is a heart with a text that says: " Världens bästa PAPPA":) And my gift is a phone charger to his car. He wants to have this in preparation for our coming summer tour..(wahehehh)

All the Glory and Honor I bring back to my Lord! PtL!!! God bLess Every one!!!
