This week's #photodiary
Compared to last week - when I was on vacation - this week has been rough!
But still have glimmers. And there's still loads to be grateful for. Thank Goodness💖
- Cozy time on the couch with YouTube videos
- Cheers in s'mores with my oldest
- Looked after two dogs for 3 days (challenging!). Hugo adores Shiba, she tolerates him. But here they are looking out the window together
- Found an old cup of mine (that I use for pens and stuff) with such an important goal on it; Embrace your life
- Another sunset enjoyed on our vacation
- My brother got me a pen from Slovenia as a thank you for looking after his dog (Hugo)
- The plant I found at IKEA that thrives in shade (polyscias)
- A perfect cup of morning coffee
- Being so blessed that I can shop for what we need and use.
Thank you all so much for helping me to focus on the good!

I'm on holiday for a week with my kids, my mom, my auntie, and her two dogs. In my parents' vacation house. It's by the sea.
It's lovely. And I have so many pictures to choose from for this week's #photodiary
- Journal time. Which is extra lovely in the shade and fresh air on the terrace
- Bought a scented candle I've been wanting
- Before we left for vacation, I took care of my mom's senior dog, Shiba. She had had surgery. And in the picture she is taking a much needed snooze
- One of my auntie's dogs; Atom. They are both boxers. And here's Atom snoozing on a sun bed
- Beautiful sunsets
- Loads of strawberries to make strawberry jam to last the rest of the year. It takes like sun and summer
- Made a bargain in a local thrift store. A stack of magazines - I use them for collages - for the price of two full price magazines
- A special danish we only enjoy when were in the northern part of the country
- Made a memory page in one of my journals. We went to brunch. And i got a punch of stuff at the café for the page.

- Spring flowers on an apple tree
- My niece wanted to hold my hand while we drove home
