A lot of thinking has been going on in my head. Jayden, who is my niece Emma's 4 year old cousin, has cancer...again. She is undergonig more chemo than any person should ever have to endure, and especially any 4 year old should have to endure. I am sending as many positive thoughts their way as I can. And for anybody reading this, I'm sure you already know about her, but send one her way, also.
In other news (not that interesting) I have started a new pilates routine that takes me about 45 minutes everyday. I can't WAIT for the snow to melt so I can go running/walking again. The snow and ice, where I live, is just too scary for me to go out and do some cardio walking and running on. I'm a whimp, I know, but at least I got the pilates going on. I know it's so cliche to say you want to lose weight before your wedding, and I don't necessarily want to lose weight, I just want to feel really good about myself that day. I think excersing is a sure fire way to feel good about your body, even if you arent loosing tons of weight. So we will see! :)
Here's your everyday item.As you can see I took some of these pictures around Christmas time, so we have a little "tomte (santa/elf thing)" on the package. Mjuk means soft...because here in Sweden we have
"knäckebröd" which is very hard crisp bread. But honestly, I don't think they need to write the difference on the package, it's really obvious the difference, but...fairness is the name of the Swedish game. And, Swedish bread is a lot tasty than the bread we have. I'm going to miss it!
The Swedish word of the day is "bröd" which means "bread" and is pronounced "bruhd".
Cheesy Breadsticks are irresistible! Chewy, cheesy and so good that they'll
rival your favorite pizza place.

I love the little tomte. It reminds me of the one Fredrik gave me last year. Which was out on my dresser this year.

I have been thinking about Emma's cousin so much the last few days. Poor little thing and her parents and all their family wrought with worry- life is not just unfair, sometimes it's cruel.
ReplyDeleteAnd I say not running on ice does not make you a wimp! Sheesh. A 45 minute Pilates routine is more than most people do! Good for you, it will keep your spirits up, I'm sure.
I am sorry to hear about Jayden and will add her to my list. As I am falling to sleep each night, I think of those people who have terrible struggles and pray for them and their people who care so much for them. My cousin's grandson, Mason, will be 6 tomorrow and he has been fighting leukemia since April.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking not to risk falling and breaking a bone on the ice! Stretch and Balance; both necessary exercise!
Oh, Ashley I am so sorry to hear about Jayden. Does she has caringbridge page or anything? I would love to learn more about her. I follow lots of kids with cancer now :( Cancer families sort of sniff each other out - it is nice to make connections with others who "get" it.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my kids love the Pågen brand Kannelbullar! I brought home several bags from my trip last October. And I agree, the Swedes are ALL about fairness. Which isn't really bad...
Love the blog!
