Back to Stockholm after 8 months in Singapore.
There is no city in the world that would beat a perfect spring day in Stockholm.
The trees are green, the sky are blue and the sun is shining…. All the people are gathering outside to enjoy the wether…..

You have gone from a newborn princess cradled in my arms to a small princess experiencing the joy and independence that life can bring. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
INVITATION TO NICOLES 5TH BIRTHDAY

2 September 2012 Only 2 days until its time to go home. Nicole have now adopted a cat that she found on the street.
31st of September Bishkek is very children oriented, there is amusement parks all over the city. Here you can go on the donkey ride all over the city , they seems to replays the traditional horse ride ha ha
28th of August According to me, part the charm of traveling is to experience new things and places. I rally love this local colorful markets places full of motion and lively traditions.
27th of August Nicole absolutely wanted to join the school in Kyrgyzstan even tho she doesn’t speak the language. The perfect thing with this Asian Countries is that you can get anything as long as you pay. Now she is signed together with other russian speaking kids in local school. Ha ha we will se how long her desire last. My sweet little social princess.
25th of August 2012 OMG I will have so many thing to do by the time I come home. My Swedish phone is completely dead. It seems like it doesn’t pick up any local network and the internet are very slow. Not much work done here. What do we do? We go out for shopping, we are eating jammy food and relaxing in the sun.
24th of August 2012 The Highest Peaks on Earth: Its a mazing how its 30c degrees on the bottom and the tops of the mountains are still covered by snow, year around. Lots of climbers stops in Bishkek before embarking on a trek to the Top of the World, the Tian Shan mountain range, which is only a hair shorter than the Himalayas, but far less touristy.
21st of August 2012 We are off to Kyrgyzstan, to spend some time with the family. It has become a yearly tradition… This far far away land is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan to the southwest and China to the east…
Kyrgyzstan and Bishkek from the air
Family time and BBQ I love the setup. The men are drinking Champagne and the girls….. are doing the rest ha ha life is fair or not?
With my Mommy…
Ha ha the vacation Club
Right person on the job. We don’t at least have to worry about the food gets burned ha ha
Lats week has been hysteric. I had so much to do and really no time for writing. We have now also confirmed that we are doing a follow up to Sinners and Saints party we had in St Tropez. The event going to be hold in Stockholm in the end of September. So exited to work with this project. I am now off to Helsingborg for more meeting and get a glint of my family….
Today is another beautiful, sunny sunday in Stockholm. We are spending the last day of this week at the country house. Just love this place, no stress, no worries and a stunning nature surroundings.
Swedish famous Midsummer is public Holliday and second most celebrated Holliday (with christmas being number one). It is an occasion of large gatherings in many cases, whole families and friends gather to celebrate this traditional high-point of the summer. And this is how we do It…..
14.00 We where picked up by this awesome helicopter ride from Gärdet who took us to Löparö island for Midsummer selebration at Archipelago
Stockholm’s Archipelago from above, when the sun is out it is according to me the best place on earth.
16.42 The single cruise just arrived haha Thorvid wanted to spice up the family party
I and Ann planed to make cake with the kids but none of the 10 kids here shared our interest…
Guys are working hard to, they actually moved down from the boat
Same stylist Fred Perry rules this evening?
Dinner Time
Stockholm bjöd på en vindstilla dag med strålande sol. Jag och Nicole har matat djuren, lekt i parken och ätit brunch på Ullricsdals Slott underbar lördag på landet.
I am suppose to be in Dubai at the moment . Thought that I have booked my flight 16-26 , but realised that I booked wrong month…. So instead of traveling to the big city I went to countryside… This beautiful place by the water is just 25 minutes outside Stockholm…. Feeling relaxed
Visiting my mom in Helsingborg. It’s rains…. again, typical Swedish summer :( I hope it will stop soon or we will get soaked wet in Båstad.
I have picked all the berries and stuffed my self with is so tasty, organic and straight from the tree
Visiting Joes family in Växjö. Had à lovely dinner and did some shopping. Nice to see everyone again and Nicole loved to play with her Cousins Samuel & Oscar…..
Gränna is a little town funded in 1652. It is situated at the Vättern border which is the second largest lake in Sweden and Europe.
Gränna is not only a dot on the map near a lake, it is also one of those town’s where people love to make there own candy’s called “Polkagrisarna” and being transported to all over the world.
Efter 2 tränings tillfällen på 3 dagar med min PT Viktor är jag helt utpumpad! Idag skulle vi köra 3e passet men jag orkade knappt lyfta 1 killos vikter. Fick istället ut och gå och nu blir det paus till på måndag! Tycker jag har förtjänat det
I have painted my Kitchen and it took me 4days…. It seemed so easy from the beginning and I didn’t have the patience to wait for some one else to do it :). But god it’s hard, It’s a never ending story to get the colour even and in audition to that I have 4.5 meter to the ceiling you can imagine how fun it was to paint that. No that’s it! next time I am definitely getting à painter. He he
It is one of the most important holidays of the year in Sweden, and probably the most uniquely Swedish in the way it is celebrated.
The main celebrations take place on the Friday
The tradition includes Raising and dancing around a huge Maypole
Nicole & Selma had fun :)
A typical Midsummer menu features different kinds of pickled herring, boiled new potatoes with fresh dill, soured cream and raw red onion. This is often followed by a grilled dish of some kind, such as spare rib or salmon, and for dessert the first strawberries of summer, with cream.
The traditional accompaniment is a cold beer and schnapps, preferably spiced. Every time the glasses are refilled, singing breaks out anew. Swedes like drinkingsongs, and the racier the better.
Nicole had a Royal day at her kindy. They went to the Royal castle dressed up as Prinsses and Princesses. When I picked her up later that day and asked her how it went? Nicole answered
-Mammy we went to the castle and I saw the princess and the prins. But she didn’t have a Crown and a beautiful dress as me :) ha ha
My Angels first graduation party was to day. So sweet they got Diplomas and everything. My baby is getting big before you know it she will be moving out :)
Dear Mom,
I couldn’t have asked for a better mother! You’re always there to give excellent advice, make great food, go shopping, or just listen. You’re truly a terrific mom and a special person too. Thank you for being you! I love you. Happy Mother’s Day.
My Mother, my friend so dear throughout my life you're always near. A tender smile to guide my way You're the sunshine to light my day.
My little fashionista picked her outfit today
Scorpio Screens at Nicole’s Child Care! I will never ever complain over the harmless bugs and spiders we have in Europe!
Nicole has asked for Bob the Builder for the last two weeks. She has called every day this weekend, to confirm that I buy it in Sydney. The only question is where in Sydney can I find Bob the Builder Toys?
Another wonderful Sunday. Face painting and Playground is all it takes to make Nicole happy. If she is happy I am happy…
Swedish Spiderman outfit by Nicole :)
I took Nicole to see Disney Live, Three Classic Fairy Tales. Almost all the girls came to the show dressed up as little princesses. So cute. The only thing that was a shame, is that the characters never came out and mingled with the crowd. Great show I will have to book Disney on Ice to. I think they are coming here to Gold Coast soon
The time-honored stories of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, from the storybooks and onto the stage
Today’s activity was a trip to Dream World. I am totally exhausted from running around inside the park but Nicole really loves going there.
Christmas gifts to Nicole from one of my best friends Natalia, arrived today from Sweden…. Thank you Honney Nicole is going to be so happy when she comes back from kindy…..
