Why I blog...

People sometimes ask me why I blog (yes, because I actually know some of the real live people that read my blog... why they read it is another story ;) ) so I had to give it some thought. I think mostly because my friends on Facebook were sick of my long winded posts ;) I also thought that it could be fun for the boys to read when they got older... sort of like a family diary.... or a way to keep up with my friends in Denmark.... or family in Sweden.... or my mother group friends in the US who I met online when I was pregnant with Alexander... or my own family who lives nearby and that I don't see often enough.... or the lovely women who I know through my boys' schools...  or an odd way to entertain my friend Kerri.... ;)  I was also inspired by two bloggers named Brinja and Sandra, who I ended up connecting with, even though we live an ocean apart. I also met people like Catarina and Ageeth, who I met online and now consider my friends...  More recently, I feel that I visit with people like Karin, Maude  and my own beautiful Gabrielle. It is a little bit like going out for coffee...without really going out for coffee. I also enjoy that I don't have to write in any sort of coherent and scientific way... It makes the world a little smaller... and a whole lot cosier....

Thanks for coming along for the ride ;) Happy Friday evening xox

  2. I enjoy every time you have written a post. Your lovely boys will enjoy it when the adult age occurs. I know my adult children love to read with the comment perhaps on fb, not inside the blog.
    If you come to Denmark on a holiday, so I would like to enjoy a glass of wine with you, or I come to Canada. Must have my google translete open, or maybe give myself a course, so my English may be understandable. ;-)
    Good weekend.

  3. I love to follow your everyday life and I enjoy "walking" around with you and see all the places I still haven't seen IRL. :-) I to have the same feeling about people I haven met IRL but through the blog. I to consider them as ferns, just like I do you. I also worries about them, just as much as I worry about my IRL friends :-D
