happy easter

Just popping in this rather abandoned space while I am sitting at my office trying to finish writing this article and drinking lots of raspberry leaf tea that is supposed to help during labor, but which I hope wont start for another couple of weeks! Only a few days to go and I can freely enjoy being at home with my boys for easter (and beyond!). It will be nice to take a long break from work. 

I have planned some easter egg hunting and some easter egg painting. 

Wishing you all happy easter days with your family!

orange

Just a few images from the light today. So orange and beautiful.

I have been watching recently some very good films, but very hard at the same time. Not having television reception allows us to watch a lot of movies. The last one was Biutiful. Such a hard story, so sad and so real. It makes me appreciate even more living off the grid, away from big cities, and being able to give my children a peaceful upbringing.

I think we will do some baking tomorrow, some cinnamon muffins. I have had during this whole pregnancy strong urges to eat cinnamon and I think I must just indulge myself (and the boys!) tomorrow!

weekending

We had two grumpy boys on saturday, not sure why, so there was lots of warm showers and water playing which gets them in a good mood.

Sunday was peaceful again but with cold temperatures so we were outside only for an hour before our toes started freezing!

Hope your weekend was great!

a crock pot question

Just a couple of random pictures to ask you a question about crock pots.

I just purchased one on a super sale (70% reduced!!!) last week and I am very eager to try it. I have been wanting to buy one for a while but the price has always kept me from doing it. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a crock pot book recipe or blog? I have searched a little but there are so many books I don't know which one to get! I am loving the idea of leaving the house and having dinner ready when getting back, specially the days I am at work.

P.S. There you a have a little glimpse of the baby bump taken today at 27 weeks! Time is flying by and should take more pictures of this growing belly of mine.

weekending

- Foggy mornings

- Beautiful winter landscape

- Contrasting colors in the winter light

- My boys for a walk on the "spark" or kicksled

- Cinnamon rolls baked in muffin trays which turned out so much better than just on the baking pan. Thank you for the tip Francesca :)

We are ready for a new week now.

20 days

Only 20 days left for the Sun to come back.

I can feel it already trying to reach above the horizon.

And although we are longing for its come back, the light is just so beautiful right now.

We have taken down all Christmas decorations and the tree today, and are jumping with both feet into "normal" life again as from tomorrow.

Have a great week!

And so it begins.

We forgot our sparkles yesterday evening so we used them this morning. 

Happy New Year!
