In this category you’ll find everything that doesn’t belong in another category 😉 Everything about my life as a mom of Liv, wife of Denny and all the brain waves I have. If I have time 🙂
Decisions In Myanmar we decided that we will not immediately start ‘properly’ trying to conceive. I do want to keep things fun. I feel the moment I ovulate every month, so maybe I can just seduce Denny without him knowing …
Secret Denny doesn’t want me to tell everyone we’re trying for a baby. Actually, he doesn’t want me to tell anyone, but that is im-poss-ible! What will I tell my friends who all knew we’d talk about it while on …
The first time The next day I finally start to feel better. Finally time to enjoy the white beaches, palm trees, azure blue sea, cocktails, my wonderful man and the thought that we’re going to be a family. I couldn’t …
