Family trips and clicks!

It was 29 years past but its still fresh in my mind until now and I think that miracle will remains with me as long as I live. It was when my mother deliver our younger brother. Her pregnancy already overdued for almost a month but the baby inside was so weak that he didn’t moved to go out from my mother’s womb. It was so hard and very complicated because my mother suppose cannot be operated since she also had a heart problem that will complicate if she will go through ceasarian operation. It could cause her to die, but then the baby at the same time was dying inside and if he will not be delivered that day they both die.

The doctor gave a paper to my father to sign up that he ‘s willing to accept what may happen because they have to operate my mother as soon as possible. By that, it could save one but only 20% possibilities  but if they’ll not execute operation the two will really die. I don’t think if there was already gamma cameras that time to see what’s going on inside the body. Or I just don’t have any idea about it that time for I was only 9. High technology medical facilities like nuclear camera and the like have I no thoughts about those.

My father  signed the paper. They got the 12 ounce size baby boy so weak but breathing and was put in the incubator with lots of  medical wires on him. While my mother was declared dead! Even my father felt the last click on her pulse while holding her. We cried. My father sobbed and still held her hands. But miracle happened, after few minutes my father felt the moving of my mother’s hands, stunned but was able to shout and call for emergency. She begged for water then the doctor and some personal in the hospital took her in the emergency room. Later that day, my mother was back to the room weak but alive. The doctor said; ” I just saw a miracle and I will bear it in my whole life as a doctor”.

My mother is until now alive and kicking as well as my brother.

Last month our family friend from stockholm visited us here in gothenburg! We had fun visiting park and shopping together for their 3days with us. Then last week, it was our time visiting them in return. We used the room of their kid which has plenty of pink stuff:)

favorite place

And this big comfortable pink pillow was Erika’s favorite. She fiys good in there and I got no worry on falling. There’s also a pink pinguin so cute and soft! So I was thinking this is perfect for pink friday!

Have a great weekend to all!

Together with my aunts and cousin, we roam around the city yesterday since my husband still at home- I mean no work yet! This week is his last days on vacation leave. So I had time with my relatives here free from children. One of my aunt was looking for an iPod cases and other accessories while me and my cousin were looking for bags and shoes:) Well, all we did was just window shopping! And I was enjoying the moment of roaming around single! It’s been few months now that I cannot go without my two darlings so it was a little strange to me without them.

We ended the day with eating together and a long chat! I was indeed enjoyed the moment but in the other hand I felt something missing;) Anyway, its good to have time like that sometimes!

When traveling by car, we spends lots of time by just driving, do some stops for personal call of nature, and of course eat. Thats what I’ve experienced and felt a little boring there. But then, thats how it takes. Gonna share some pictures on the way:)

stop to eat plus

This is one place where we can stop and have everything like a place to eat, a toilet, a store and a gasoline station.

traffic huh

This kind of stop is undesirable but inevitable. Yeah the long traffic! Travelers can went out of the car because to get some air coz it really took few minutes.

playing while papa is driving

This two found something good while hitting the road. They just play games on our phones! Ooops! another thing we can do during road trip is.., yes of course sleeping and thats what I do! Good day!

It is but natural to have messes and a dirty car after traveling specially we have children. There are many things can happen inside the car that gives trash. Thanks to infiniti floor mats we have in our car. Even different drinks like milk, chocolates, cola that spilled into it..no problem to clean. Even candies or any food fast into it we take no worries.

Yes, those are travel left over I call it. And to be honest there are still trashes there in our car because we still have no time to clean it. You can hardly see the floor, and I blame it to the children who just throw whatever inside while traveling. Oh, well I’ll do it later this afternoon! Good day!

As you see, we are a family that lives one day at a time. We live simply, love deeply and enjoying life as a family. But we do have longterm plans. One of those is to save money for a house. And to do it fast, to sell our car is the first alternative or loan it. I was checking car title loans Texas and sounds good. We don’t know yet by this time but this is our topic nowadays during our daily talks . Our children are getting bigger and we think there’s already a need of having a house of our own.

May God bless us on His special way! Godbless!

Last tuesday, we hit the road again to the capital city of Sweden- Stockholm. It might be only around 5hours straight drive from us here in Gothenburg but because we have children and we did many stops, it took us 8hours.

Me and my family had fun visiting places like amusement center, the biggest Zoo park in the north and of course we tour around the city where new and old buildings and streets, yes the castle and drop by museums. We were satisfied on our trips and it was also fun meeting and having time with old friends and family.

Here are some takes for keeps:)

These are just some of our pictures. Yep right I have actually lots of pictures taken! It’s nice to know and to be in those places once in a while. But still no other place like home. We just arrive home last night at 10:23pm:) Have a great weekend everyone!

You are sitting in your gorgeous back yard on your outdoor bench looking up at the house that you just purchased. The Turret is what had you from the word go. They are glamorous and you can just see yourself or one of your kids up in the turret room and almost see the way you have it so nicely decorated. Then you see it as a library or a game room but will that work with the way it is designed? Sit back and relax and read a few design ideas for your new turret.
A turret room on the first floor would make a lovely music room if there is a music lover in your family. You can put the piano by the window but a little off center then group some chairs and a lovely sofa around it so everyone can enjoy the music that will only be enhanced in the turret room.
You can always keep the room for yourself and your spouse by turning it into a master bedroom. There will be plenty of light during the day and at night hang gauzy layered curtains to keep out the darkness. This is the perfect place to put one of those round beds that you have been eyeing for so long. You can add a canopy to it and feel like a princess when you crawl under the sheets at night. Instead of square dressers go with built in storage and round benches for indoor use to sit on at the foot of the bed or on the vanity table that you could place in the far corner.
If you are like many parents (and most of us are) you could turn the room into a fantasy room for your child. Little girl’s especially would love nothing more than to live in a romantic turret room. She would then be a true life princess waiting on her prince charming. Put a wraparound mural on the wall and a castle bed in the middle of the floor.Then add benches for indoor use to the end of her bed in the shape of a carriage and your little one will be transported to a fantasy world every time she opens the door to her room.
Now you have been sitting on the outdoor bench dreaming about what to do with your brand new turret room for too long. It’s time to get up and put one of these ideas in to motion.

Our family trip to Germany was a succesful one and eeven brought us the opportunity to visit castles and palaces. It was a great experience not only for my children but for  the whole family. Here are some of our pictures on our great time and adventures!
