My spring is finally here week- Isabelle

Every two weeks I am in south of Sweden, without my family taping the show.
I miss like crazy but also sometimes think I am going nuts. I Skype to my family wondering are they real?
I chat with people I don’t know on my twitter and then after I go jogging I get emails from my Runkeeper app with cheering that I am doing well.
All the internet activity is messing with my head.
Is this real or am I in a sort of a Truman Show?

I jogged in the beautiful Slottsparken in Malmlö. Love the playground over there.
A ready made – the tape coming off the painted wall – wanted to keep it as art.

Love it when the kids are happily doing their stuff without me having to entertain. Such bliss.

But also fun when they put on a show.
Just wondering when will that princess period stop?

Well, I  think she is going into a kind of lady Gaga, MJ period. I couldn’t resist buying her this outfit.
She went nuts.

In Malmö I met up whit Jenny. Sad to be without my family but SOO Happy spending time with her.
We are thinking a lot about Dosfamily.
What do you think about us?
What do you want more of, less of?

Beppe a.k.a Fester/Pugsley Addams is cheking out his granddads boat which went in to the water first time this year. Everything is for a first nowdays in spring and I love it.

I got my own “Ej tjuvar” drawing when I ended this weeks show. They also made a chocolate rat that flew home with me!

We made so much fun stuff in this Fixa Rummet. I want to show it all to you now. But I can’t.
Hmm. Maybe soon – ok?

Great pics!

I have a question…totally unrelated but can’t find a contact for you.
I’m having my 3rd baby in a couple of months. I have a Kitty and a Sebastian. We don’t know what it is and i’m pretty sure on a boys name but i need some help on girls names. As you live in a different and uber cool country and have cute kids names can you make a little list of some favourites of yours/where you live.
My baby name book is not going to come up with anything different so i’m trying you guys!

Hope you can help.

Thanks Tracey

Hi there girls. I am klara, a mother of a Sander and of an Elise, who loves to see your photos and read about all your inspiring ideas. You are a true inspiration and the fact that you blend job with family suits me as that is actually the puzzle every family tries to achieve.
I have the honor of getting a visit by Jenny this Saturday and I feel privileged as Elise’s idol is Isabelle in Fixa Rummet, so she sees Jenny as her “good sister”. Hahhahahaha. Keep on going boosthug from Klara

tack Klara -det ska bli kul att se hur du bor och om jag får tid över kommer jag häla på nån gång i malmö

Malmö has the most amazing playgrounds nowadays! Hopefullly Gothenburg will soon catch on and build some magical playscapes for it’s little ones as well.
I sure hope Stockholm will too! I am thinking about building something myself soon!

Mmmh… good question. I don’t know if I would want to see less of anything in DosFamily, but recycling old posts, posts you’re particularly proud of, is not at all a bad idea.

I love reading your thoughts and observations on childrearing and family.

The house tours are really good.

Mmh… just that.

Hello Isabelle, I am a bazilian reader( but actually I live in the Netherlands). I love this blog, is my favorite ever, I love the fantasy mix with the real life, and these kind of things that children bring to our lifes. And you show here, in the very simple and artistic way.
Congrats,
Simone

Thanks simone. I love Brazil (and my mother is from Belgium – close but still not the same). So glad you enjoy it!

Jeg digger ideer til barnerom og DIY`s, samt den veldig uformelle tonen og humoren dere har. Trives godt her hos dere :) Siw

Please don’t ever disappear…
I love your blog.
I also watched a few fixa rummet episodes in sweedish with my 5 years old girl (pink-princess). We don’t understand a word (!!) but the creative vibe gives us the boost to let go and do things.
Thanks
