There was a time in my life when I wrote a LOT. Looking at my blog sites from the past, some of which are still around, I would have to say I was a much better writer then. I noticed I had a lot more flow in thought, and a lot more discipline to be… Continue reading Back to writing

After being without a job for 1 year and a few months, I finally started working again today.

Math Flashcards for the Kids!
This summer has been a lot of play time for the kids. I thought we'd incorporate some learning as well. In exchange for some TV time or video game time, we do math drills!

Back to schools, learning new languages
It's been almost a year that we've been in Sweden and I think we've managed to settle in gracefully. The first six months were busy with getting my residence permit in order and looking after my youngest daughter. Once we got her into daycare, I started going to Swedish for Immigrants classes.
