Help!

I'm beckoning to my more mature friends. I need some help. I'm starting to notice somewhat sagging skin above my eyes and I notice that when I put on eyeshadow that it rubs off and gets in creases and yeah you know, AGE SUCKS! I buy really good eyeshadow, use great brushes and so on but nothing is helping.

What do you think? Do you believe in anti-wrinkle creams and especially eye specific creams? Give me your best tips and money is not an issue here! What do you use and does it work?

You know, you would think

that my man being off work would give me loads of time to sitt on my big butt and eat chocolate and just blogg all I wanted but NO! Would you believe that man got sick AGAIN this year on his free time? Running back and forth down south is stressing me out too.

I still haven't downloaded the pics from my camera either and I know it's going to be a huge job just because I waited so long. Oh well! My last few days happenings may not excite you but it's all I've got to offer.

The move was so cute! I've now been running around on my favo fake bag site( I know I know, I don't ever buy fakes, I prefer the real thing or to just go without but there is no way F is going to let me buy a real LV dog bag, a bag for me sure, but never for the dogs haha) to try and find a bag just like the one Chloé in the movie had.

(This isn't the one Chloé had but I'm considering this one since I can't find hers and this one is actually alot cuter, just doesn't close completely so I'm not sure)

Gucci, well his days are now numbered. The 26th of January he's getting fixed, his little boys are leaving him. He's marking more than ever and I just can't take it anymore. I wash him, get his little peecup changed and within an hour or two he's wet and marked in it. This is his only chance and it has to help! He's stinky all the time and it's hard to have him close and cuddle him. That's not fare to him or me because I like having my dogs close to me.
Jake is getting his knee exam on the 12th of January and having his underbite checked. If the vet thinks it will never get better than I'm booking his neutering too. We'll just have to wait and see.

Rosie, my little spoiled diva, she's doing great! Her potty training is going way better than expected and she's mammas girl. She follows me everywhere and even sleeps in my bed! Fredrik said the other day "Boy am I glad Noah wasn't a girl". I have no idea what he meant by that*blink*.

Noah, he's sick, bless him. He's loving having Daddy around and is such a Daddies boy. That doesn't bother me at all. I wonder what he's going to think when daddy goes back to work.

Ok, before I bore you all to bits, I'm gonna go. Take care xoxoxoxox

Beverly Hills!

Today is the day! Andrew, Gabriel and I are going on a date with my good friend K and are going to the movies. Beverly Hills Chihuahua is what's playing. Unfortanetly they are only showing it in swedish but I'll buy the film as soon as it comes out on dvd to see it in english. That's really weird because they always show both at the theater but not this time.


It's been hectic around here despite F being off work. He's Finally getting our Bose system working. We installed speakers in 5 rooms, in the ceiling, so we can have music thru this system and play different things. For example, if someone is watching tv in the livingroom I can still play music from the system in the kitchen. I'll get some pics when it's done.

Shannon and Mom, I'll call as soon as I can! Maybe this evening when we all get home.

Have a great chihuahua day!

Do you remember...

when I told you about these really nice handbags here ? Well guess who now owns a beautiful/cool/awesome!! black bag from these designers? ME!!!! More about our Christmas to come, just having a glass of red in the soffa and relaxing in my new fluffy pink robe.

Her name is Daisy Saddle, color- King Kong

Let it snow let it snow

It's sparkling here, and the christmas sented candles have been burning for a few hours.

By the way, if you want the worlds best candles and holders with the best sents in the world, talk to me, I have connections!!

Kyle and I spent the whole morning/afternoon cleaning the downstairs with Noah running after us. We did a great job and now it's clean clean clean here!! The other three headed to go swimming and we didn't see them again until 4pm! They left at 9.30am! Andrew came home with a slite concussion from a bang in the head at the bottom of the pool but otherwise they all survived.
When F got home I put him on dinner duty and I left him and the kids and took a HUGE glass of wine up to the tub and my book.
Tomorrow it's my turn, I'm leaving and heading for the city for a while. The other ones are cleaning and I'm shopping. I might let F hang out with me and he can clean when he gets home. I just don't get women who put up with idiot men who do nothing but sitt on there asses and look at the tv/pc while they do it all, blame yourselves and men, Shame on you!! you shouldn't have a family.

Now I'm going to continue on my red wine, because my man is up putting Noah to bed while I just relax..how's that for pleasure? Merry Christmas is woooing out of my stereo too. Only thing I miss is a good fire, but we're out of wood and F forgot to buy some more...oh well, I'm good

Demons!

I'm convinced demons have taken over two of my children and refuse to leave the normal children back! What the heck is with A and G? Considering those two are going to the adventerous swimming place tomorrow you'd think they'd behave, but NO. Spoiled Rotten!

I've left my cleaning aside until tomorrow, gotten my babies for some cuddles in the soffa and a HUGE glass of red wine. F is up putting Noah down and I'm guessing I should have gotten some of our nice cheeses and crackers out but I don't care!

Here's the latest of my wants. I've been wanting a cellphone that has a keyboard so you can surf easy when bored and maybe even comment or write in blogs. Anyways, you just can't get a good phone with all in one. Either the cam is shit, or the battery isn't the best or whatever. So I've decided I'd like my phone to be a good phone with a decent camera.

The toy that I want and am going to get, hopefully for Christmas but my birthday is coming soon too so we'll see...but one of these, a pink one of course:


A miniPC! Kind of thing you can have with you easily when you're bored, when we drive in the car down south for example or whatever. We already have mobile internet so this would be perfect! Please Santa?

Needy me

A couple of years ago I convinced Fredrik of my need for a crosstrainer. I really truely thought it was for me. I got pregnant shortly after we bought a used one and never really used it. I have tried a few times since Noah was born but no, I just don't like it.


For years I have been saying I want a treadmill, then I took a little break for my crosstraining wants. Well I'm back to the orginal plan and a treadmill. Why is it that F just thinks it's a new whim, does he not get how bikini hot I'd be if I had one?

Ego pics!

Since Rosies sweater that she won came Monday I had my son help me take some pics and just took advantage of having someon else on the other side of the camera and took pics of all my babies. Pics of me are just a bonus!

Here's the winner gal in her beautiful new sweater! Look how sweet Monica is, we even got a Christmas card from her! We are so happy for our winnings, thank you again Monica.


Smooooch!!


<3<3<3


She's a real mommies girl


Gucci loves cuddling in my arms this way, like a little baby.


Kyle forgot to sett the cam for no red eyes but that's ok. Here's my cuddle bug Jake



That's all for now, I have a few from this past weekend but I think my father-in-law has way better and I'm waiting for him to send them to me. Otherwise my mood is swinging alot right now which could only mean one thing;););) Plus I have to go argue with some stupid teachers AGAIN tomorrow! Has it become a habbit to just not give a damn???? I'm so sick of dealing with ignorance out of people who are supposed to be teaching my kids something so we are actually considering, well pretty much decided, to put Gabriel in private school next year.

My dog has lost his mind!

Gucci! He has totally lost it! As everyone who knows me knows, Gucci marks. It drives me crazy! Within the small dog world it seems to be accepted. Nobody can give you any idé how to fix it accept getting them fixed. That might only help.
Anyways, of course he knows it's wrong and I rarely ever catch him doing it. Now all of a sudden in just a few days he lifts his leg right in front of me!! He has lost all respect for that even. I just don't know what to do. I took a class with him, he gets to go to dog shows alone with me, he gets more one on one time than the other two just because I'm hoping that will help but NO! it only gets worse! Damn dog! I guess I'm just going to have to wait until after Christmas and then call the vet. If getting him fixed doesn't help than I just don't know what we'll do.

Here's a couple of pics of my "problem child"

Winning Streak

We're down in the south of Sweden now and have been here since about 6.30 this morning. We stopped at a parking lot and got dressed and walked the dogs. We were done in perfect timing for the bakery to open. Let me just say how surprised they were! We walked in and parked further down so nobody would hear us and stood outside there bedroom window with candles lit and singing, AWESOME!

Guess what?? We WON again! I need to buy some lotteries today! If you remember the contest here and the beautiful sweater that Monica knitted, well we won it! We are so happy!


Look how cute it is!


Tack Monica för denna generösa presenten! Bilder kommer så fort vi får hem den!

Adventure!

I'm sitting here this late because we are about to leave for an adventure. All Swedes know but my family doesn't know that tomorrow is a big happening, Lucia! I've explained it to you before sis. About 5 years ago when my inlaws still lived in our city we surprised them early in the morning with a Lucia Train as it's called here. We all got dressed in the traditional outfits (Lucia, Santa, Gingerbread cookie, and Star boy) and had the traditional donuts with us, and we sang the traditional songs for them. My mother in law especially was so touched she still talks about us doing that.
Now that they live so far away it's harder to do those things but since Lucia is on a Saturday this year we decided to make a huge adventure out of it. We are driving down to them, 450km!, and going to be there early in the morning and dress up and start singing outside there bedroom window! We can go in too because F has the keys but it's more of a feeling to stand out in the snow. We're leaving Andrew and Kyle at there dads on the way so we have to get going soon to make it in good time.

We are leaving for one night, home again on Sunday and this is all the stuff we are taking! This isn't even A och K's stuff!


Gabriel, bless him, is doing some kind of montra here all day "I'm not going to fall asleep, I'm not going to fall asleep". He did take a nap after school and you better beleive he's still awake right now.

Bonus pic of the worlds cutest 1-year old!

WOOHOO We won!!

Yes!! Finally we won something. My friend Anna at PoshPooches has a contest that when you buy something from her she encourages you to send in pics of the dog with what you bought, that way you get to be in a photocontest to win a toy and some ecological dog snacks. Well well well guess what little pink princess combed home the prise finally? ROSIE did! Here's the link to the win and here's the pic that took the prise:



Good thing is, I still have a few things we haven't taken pics of yet to enter in the next contest.
Maybe it's the beginning of a winning streak, hope so! Monica is drawing the winner of that beautiful sweater at 12! Wish us luck!

Gift slut..

Yep that's me. Fredrik always buys me a little something everytime he goes to Germany. I have to admit I'm like the kids and stand and wait for my surprise when he gets home. Usually it's a perfume, which I love or lipgloss and best is when I get my face products that cost an arm and a leg for me to buy here(Kanebos series).
Anyways, that man was in Germany last month and even had the nerve to say "Oh bye the way, I have a surprise for you" and then not give it to me!! He even said it 2-3 times, and then started talking about how grand life was because my Christmas gift was already bought! Who does that??
Well he was just in Germany this week again and even sent a text about a little present. Again, I'm a gift slut so I get a little giddy and look forward to my surprise. The man came in and gave the boys there candy and I haven't gotten anything yet. Is this the way it's supposed to be??? NO!! Mamma better get her surprise hehe.


Christmas concert tonight though, and that should be great. I'm a little mother hen over Kyle babysitting but I'm sure it will be fine.

Secret admirer

I have a secret to confess. I have a Fredrik aproved small crush on a much older man. He's a big boss at one of the companies we import from and he's problably 50 years old but he's just so handsome and carries a certain pondus. Anytime I ever meet people from these companies there's just not much charm but this man even gets me a little shy and quiet haha. Apparently he's quitting! and moving on. Fredrik is in Germany right now and sitting across from him, he sent a special hello to "Lori" and his warmest regards. Now how's that!?! Fredrik said "You sure must have made an impression on Tomas, he asked about you especially".


Anyways, considering how the rest of my week as been I greatly needed a good laugh and smile. Boy has it been rough! I'm just keeping my head barely above water.

Pic taking Monday

Tried taking some Christmas pics of Rosie and Jake today, wow! Gucci isn't in these because it was a little crazy with two dogs on the table and Noah learning to use his highchair to climb on the table at the same time haha.

This is my favorite, my smallest babies


Santas coming!


Diva dame




Rosie has had enough :)

Stockholm Dog Show

Well we made it there and back and it was alot of fun! Today my friend Ewa and I loaded up the car with ourselves, Noah, Andrew and a bunch of things that are good to have with you and headed to Stockholm, at 7am! We saw tons of beautiful dogs, of course mostly we satt and looked at all the amazing chihuahuas. I heard through rumor that Rosies pappa took yet another CERT today! Hope she shows off as good as her daddy in the rings.

One thing that really bothers me. Dog world is such a club thing. You know groups, closed groups. Not even people I know and have talked to before could be bothered to come and say hello. I was sitting with Noah mostly so it's harder for me to walk and say hello plus the whole group thing doesn't really invite you in. Many of these people love to talk without there group, for example at innoficiel competions where there's not as many people. Just sort of hurts your feelings and I know, I really just shouldn't care.

Rosie spent the day with my sister in law who called and asked for her since I was gone all day. Story has it she only peed inside once and they took a nap together on the soffa. Isn't that so cute? Thank you Lina!!

Todays best? All the shopping!!!!! My word did I shop! Here's just some of it because I can't remember it all:
2 show leashes (one french style that Rosie is going to premier in)
1 collar for Jake
1 beautiful collar and leash set for gucci, black leather
1 Puppia vest for Jake
1 christmas necklace for Rosie
1 chihuahua puppy in a pink bag, so adorable(stuffed animal)
1 collar and leash set for Rosie(pink italien leather with silver hearts)
1 cherry fleece for Rosie
1 Monkey Dazy shirt for Rosie
1 Puppia striped fleece for Gucci(That we might send to Roxy)
2 Puppia t-shirts, Rosie and Jake
1 Puppia t-shirt in pink for Rosie, Jake already has it in green
1 pee protector cup for Gucci:(
1 Dog book calender
And then some Plaque Off and Omega-3 oil.

Hmmm, I don't remember what else. Here's some pics of some of the stuff




(pics from www.lechien.se )


this in blue and black


This collar and leash set in black and gold for Gucci, it's really nice leather. I actually tried to buy this in beige/brown too for Jake but she didn't have his size.


This jacket/vest for Jake in brown


(these pics are from www.pupstore.se )

Bad Boy

Noah is such a bad boy. He gets into everything! We have locks on all of the cubbords and drawers and he still manages to get his little arm in them, like here.

He got his little arm in the crack between the lock and the stop on the drawer in the kitchen and had a Ramon Nuddle feast!


Or how about this one. Fredrik was scrubbing the floors and I told him, watch out for the bucket because Noah loves to splash. I usually have it on the table, in the stairs or window seal. Fredrik just figured it didn't really matter if Noah splashed a little and turned his back on the bucket. Noah on the other hand was in the mood for a bath, haha, so funny. He laughed and thought he was the funniest thing in the world. Yuk!


I might add, this is only the past weeks happenings;)

Despite my mood

Christmas is slowly coming to my house. Here's just some of the little things I've done/planted.


Diningroom table


Kitchen window


Kitchen window, looks nicer at night when the lamps are shining.


I may have went overboard with all the garneshings hehe.



Here's my stars that I put over my lamps in the windows in the livingroom, a little dark but so nice.


Last but not least, I saved this to show off. My sister sent me these adorable stocking holders for the mantel. I saw pics from her house one year and she had these on her mantel and I've wanted them ever since, aren't they too cute? Not only did she send the hangers she generously sent us all new stockings! Fredrik and I got the white ones and the boys all got velvety blue ones with there first intials in rhinestones, I love them! I left this pic kind of bright so you could really see them.
