anneberit — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:31:42 +0000

I’ve been so into Christmas lately, and have been gathering ideas for what to make and do during the month of December when ever I’ve had a few minutes to spare. Many of these I’ve pinned on my Christmas board. Here are my 10 favorite ideas, so far:

I’m still on the look out for December / Christmas ideas and inspiration, please share and link me up here in the comments – or on Pinterest.

10 Things on the 10th | Embracing Fall

anneberit — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 10:25:31 +0000

Ok. I have to admit it. I miss summer. I miss the sunny warm weather. The lazy days. The living as much outdoors and indoors. I miss it for sure, but, I also love the fall season. And I want to embrace the right here and now, so here is my 10 things I’m happy and grateful right now:

1. I’m happy and grateful for my son, how he is growing, learning and having more and more faith in himself.
2. The nature is turning into fantastic colors. And the forest is filled with berries. We should go pick some….
3. Football season started again. And MT loved that, I love watching them play as well.
4. We’ve had several sunny days. Got to love that!
5. I can capture the beauty with my camera and look at in on a rainy day.
6. Come to think of it, some of the rainy days are kind of beautiful as well.
7. School and work are starting up again and the days have some structure.
8. We’re both healthy and non of us have caught the flue yet.
9. It’s still warm enough for nice walks down by the river.
10. September mornings are misty and glows with the first ray of sunshine on a nice day, I love them.

So, what do you want to embrace in the season you’re in right now?!

A Sad Sad Day

anneberit — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:23:51 +0000

Today I woke up to the devastating news that more than 90 people died Friday due to two terrible acts of terrorism in our safe little country of Norway. So far it seems it was one man that did it all, but off course the police are still trying to piece it all together. And even though, thankfully, any members of my family or friends are directly affected by this tragedy – it still affect us all in one way or another.

It makes me more sad than I have words for to know that hatred can destroy so much so fast.

I pray for all the people directly affected by this, for all those that survived but have to live with what they saw, heard and felt during the shooting on the island, I pray for all the police, health and rescuing men and women and for all those giving warmth, love, strength, room and time to the people in need.

If you pray, please keep them all in your prayers too.

The Simple Things | @ The Farm

anneberit — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:56:44 +0000

We’re spending a few days @ The Farm. Watching the house(s) and the cat while my parents are on vacation. We thought we would do a whole lot here, but most of the days are spent relaxing and regrouping. We needed that.

Better get that grass cut before they (my parents) are back home

Hope your summer is sweet as well!

……………………………………………………..

I love the idea of this; there is always something to celebrate or cherish when we take the time to look for the simple things.
I hope I can keep it as kind-of-a-regular thing on Mondays.

10 Things on the 10th | Summer List

anneberit — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:43:25 +0000

After dinner this afternoon both my kid and I found some paper and then we wrote down our Summer Want-To-Do List. We’re not going on any long vacation this year and we have a lot of things to do with out old house, which is kind of boring and not very vacation-ish. So we wanted to make some time for a few fun and inexpensive stuff as well. To be sure to make good memories of the summer, not just boring ones….

Shimelle have introduced a new blog challenge. 10 things on the 10th of the month.

I’m joining in with our Summer Lists.

First up is MT’s list (mine is coming in July):

Go fishing
Go bathing
Go for a bike ride
Visit Grandma and Grandpa
Be outside
Pick some flowers
Play badminton
Eat some ice cream
Celebrate a birthday
Buy a baseball bat

I’m so glad that all the things he want to do can be done right here were we live.
Hoping on a fun and playful summer!

Hipstamatic Photos

anneberit — Mon, 30 May 2011 06:29:50 +0000

I’ve been kind of into taking photos with my phone again. I guess the light days and evenings helps, and with far more activity outdoors it’s easy to capture the moments with the camera I (almost) always have with me. Here are a few from the last weekends, taken using the Hipstamatic app.

My favorite! Love the colors and the peaceful feeling. Really screams summer to me

Reflections.

Just love this one. The colors. The action. The framing.

So glad to be inside my car when the rain hit.

Tasty.

A favorite card game in our house right now. MT is on a winning streak. And I’m not going easy on him. We have rematches scheduled for the entire summer

…………………………………..
Thanks for looking at my HAPPY moments from the last week. There have been a lot of other things going on in our life as well, not so fun stuff as well. Just wanted to give the happy feeling some room. That’s the moments I want to remember!

** Ops. Fell asleep in the chair yesterday and forgot this wasn’t published. Now it is.**

The Simple Things | Breathing Room

anneberit — Mon, 02 May 2011 09:55:18 +0000

So grateful for spending some time with my kid this weekend.

No office hours. No obligation. Just working on a few project outdoors and inside, enjoying another few days of glorious spring weather, talking, playing and creating together.

This whole Sunday was one long breathing room. I so needed that. And I think my son did too.

……………………………………………………..

It’s my first go @ the simple things, I love the idea of this.
I hope I can make it a regular thing on Mondays from now on.

Updated my heading image

anneberit — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:28:35 +0000

Just a quick little note to tell I updated my heading image. I really would love to do something with the desing and theme, but I have no time for that right now.

So I did the next best thing. New images in the heading.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Oiii. It’s been a while

anneberit — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 08:35:53 +0000

So I haven’t been the best blogger laterly. Ahem. But I’m planning to turn that around and be the best blogger there is in the next coming months. Or not.

LOL. I’m not promise anything, but I’ve been missing this little spot of mine. And if there is still anyone hanging around, waiting from life sign from me. I’m here to tell you I’m good. Life is full, but good. So thankful for that!

And in a few hours I have another post coming. That was what I wanted to tell the world.

See ya! Hugs.
