Jag sitter vid mitt skrivbord med fönstret på glänt. En svag vind letar sig in och tar tag i min t-shirt så att tyget försiktigt kittlar min hund. Det är natten mellan maj och juni och det är midnattssol i Gällivare. Vindpusten som letat sig in är ljummen och efterlängtad.
Det har varit tyst här inne på bloggen den senaste veckan. Det fina vädret och en hel del jobb varvat med lediga dagar har gjort att jag prioriterat annat. Vädret under påskhelgen har verkligen varit något alldeles extra. Sol större delen av dagarna och nästan ingen vind, som gjort för
I söndags var vi ute och åkte snowboard hela familjen. Erik fick ju en snowboard i julklapp och har hunnit åka ganska mycket sedan dess. Att åka snowboard med barn är inte alltid helt lätt, men det är roligt. Utvecklingskurvan går spikrakt upp och glädjen hos både honom och oss
The days keep on passing by in high speed. I have a goal to write at least two blog posts every week, it’s not much but still I don’t always make it. But even so, I don’t feel like it’s a bad thing. I am getting better at appreciating and
We slowly make our way through the forest. The trees around us are embedded in a fluffy, white cover. The branches hanging low, bowing under the weight of the snow. The silence out here is palpable. After a while we stop. My breathe creates a cloud of white fog that
It’s friday and this week has passed by so fast. I feel like I always write that.. Well maybe it’s because I tend to do plenty of things, and the days are just a little short sometimes, to get all the tings I want into those 24 hours. This week

Hey Guys! This Thursday started out in a great way and then it all got a lot better – because I just joined Printler! That means you can now buy a few selected pictures that I’ve taken, as posters. How great is that? There’s a cpuple of pictures from Gällivare in there
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
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
The bright summer nights are back and my energy levels are constantly rising. As the sun stays up longer and longer and the nights never really go dark anymore – I find myself getting out on spontaneous adventures much more often. On wednesday, the dogs and I hiked up on Dundret.
