When I opened up Facebook this morning I had a notification. Facebook prompted me to watch my memories from this day, November 2nd, from the past. I clicked it and a post from last year was the first thing I saw. And I realized that my blog turns 1 year today! WOW! One year passed by so fast. I can’t
So this Monday started out in the best way possible, with a little weekly planning and then a run in the sun. I have plenty of work to get done today so I was a little hesitant at first. But then I remembered creativity is unleashed with adrenaline and fresh air. At least for me. So I dressed warm and
We walk slowly into the forest, everything around us is completely still. The ground is partially covered in frost that glitter in the soft sunlight. Frozen moss cracks under our feet as we walk. I take a deep breath and fill my lungs with fresh air. There’s a special smell in the forest on days like these, when everything is
Hey everyone! It feels like it was yesterday October came with it’s cold days and frosty nights. I look at the calendar and we’re all ready more than halfway through. It’s crazy how fast time flies and how fleeting seasons can be. I had so many plans for summer and autumn, and now they’ve both passed. Green has turned to
A couple of months ago I had never heard of the expression ’Life design’. Or maybe I had never thought about it enough for the word to truly sink in. The more I think about it the greater it becomes. There are many ways of saying the same things and I have talked about it before, how important it is
Last night I sat down to write a blog post. A couple of minutes after I had sat down, Markus came and asked if he could watch a movie, Vaiana (Moana), while I was writing. Thirty minutes into the movie I still hadn’t written a single word. After another 5 minutes I closed my computer and decided to watch the
I stand in a crowd of people. The music fills my head and I can feel the base vibrate through my chest. I am calm, but my knees are shaking slightly. Adrenaline is rushing through my body and my heart fills with happiness and love. I stand there, looking into the faces of 130 excited people, ready to get this
”Maammaa”. His thin, raspy voice breaks the silence and my muscles tens immediately. I put my computer down beside me and I hear his voice calling for me again, louder this time. I rush up the stairs to our bedroom. He is sitting up, watching me with sleepy eyes as I walk into the room. The soft light from the
Oh wow! Time really flies. It’s been more than a week since my last post, probably one of the longest pauses so far. There are two reasons behind me not posting this past week. Number one is because things have been hectic and by the time the days have turned to night, I have been so tired I’ve fallen asleep
Hey guys! This weekend in Åre is coming to an end I look back on a weekend filled with physical challenges as well as calm and quiet. A month ago I had never been here and now I have been to the top of Åreskutan three times and have been around town so much I’m actually starting to feel a little
In mid August I was in Åre together with 30 inspiring women – a weekend event arranged by ”Kvinnliga Äventyrare” – or female adventurers. Female adventurers started out as a collaboration between the amazing Angeliqa from Vandringsbloggen (Swedens largest blog about hiking) and Morakniv. The goal with Kvinnliga Äventyrare is to lift female adventurers and inspire more women to
Matti/Mattsby’s family log book. Day number 147. We are stuck inside the house. The little one is down with fever, again. We are living on ice cream, fruit and a mix of water and apple juice. I have lost almost all hope. I can not remember what it was like before the cold hit. Our days now are filled with
Hey people! The last couple weeks here have been busy. I have had plenty of computer work to do and many things to get into motion. All my different projects seem to all align right now and suddenly everything needs to be done at the same time. I don’t mind though, I usually work best under pressure and all the
You haven’t seen much of me in video since I posted my first one – but here’s another one. And since fall is here and vacation has turned into work – I felt like sharing a few thoughts about my business and my upcoming event Träningsfesten. And this was shot in our messy kitchen one afternoon – you can see all
They say that now a days everybody, more or less, will get their fifteen minutes of fame. For me I think this is them! Earlier this summer, on the same day as we got back from our trail running adventure, me and Markus met up with Sofie Lantto and her husband Hans Berggren to shoot for Ute Magasinet Sverige. They
In July we went trail running along Kungsleden, from Vakkotavaara to Nikkaluokta. A distance of 78 km. We spent five days on the trail, mostly in heavy rain and strong winds. But even if the weather wasn’t all too good, I came home with a feeling of calm and happiness. As I always do when out in the mountains. This
Today I’ve been home with Erik. He woke up on Sunday with a light fever. We then spent all of yesterday inside, watching movies and reading books. I finally got around to wash all of our winter clothes, not a day to late as it feels like we might need them any day now. He is better today but still
This post is an advertise in collaboration with Peak Performance Luleå. When we were heading out on our trail running adventure at the beginning of summer, I did a collaboration together with Peak Performance on what to pack and what to wear. And since I believe in doing things longterm and durable, not only with clothes but with business as well
So summer went by fast. It feels like yesterday I was sitting by my computer, writing about all of this summers adventure and had them all in front of me. Now the nights are getting darker again, the temperature is falling (not that they really rose to begin with..) and soon the ground will be covered in leaves. I haven’t had
This vacation is definitely treating us well with warm, sunny days and endless possibilities to explore and create memories. At the moment we’re back in Efjord in my parents cabin, heading home tomorrow. Last week we spent four nights camping in Lofoten, one of the most beautiful places on earth. No joke. I have been here before but it was
It’s been a little quiet in here after our week in the mountains. That’s because we’re on vacation with the whole family. At the moment we’re exploring Lofoten with it’s amazing Views, mountains and beautiful fjords. Even though I’ve been here many times before, the nature here never seizes to amaze me.
