Today I feel grateful for this beautiful park in my town, Stadsparken. It is a short walk from my house, and I love spending time here every now and then. Just knowing it is right there gives me peace of mind. I often take my daughter here when I feel a need to have a…

Today I feel grateful for yesterday. My daughter and I had an amazing day in Rättvik, a nearby town. Most of the tourists have left, and the peace is settling in nicely. The weather was perfect 71.6F/22C and we decided to take a walk along the shoreline. We walked towards the church, the walk is…

It explores how teachers can use targeted communication and pedagogical dialogue to build an inclusive environment in schools and preschools. It’s an updated version of the book and I believe it has the potential to be…

Today I’m grateful for a good reason to re-organise my kitchen cabinets. The reason being my daughter being able to reach spices and other items when she’s cooking. I used to have the spices on the highest shelf, since I’m the only one using them, but not any more!! My daughter is showing a great…

Welcome to the weekend coffee share! Can I get you a cup of coffee? Or tea? This week there’s cake if you’d like some? It is a chocolate/vanilla/meringue/raspberry cake. It is actually my daughter’s birthday today. She woke up super early, excited for her special day. It has been a great day in every way,…
