POP offer

Little O is a typical little boy; all of his trousers are ripped at the knees as he spends every moment outside scrabbling around, crawling, climbing and all things that little boys do.

So we need yet again to buy him new trousers.

Luckily, I spotted an offer in the window of Polarn o Pyret as I passed by this morning: 25% off chinos for club members.

Let him do his worst to these!

CrossFitLite

CrossFitLite: crossfit training tumblr blogSo as not to bore you with tales of my training on here, I’ve created a training tumblr site called CrossFitLite. A little bit of my CrossFit, my training and some paleo recipes that I have tried out. Why not pop over and have a look!

Good morning, sunshine

Since Baby E decided to wake for the party at 5.50am (excuse me, mister, it’s Sunday…), I got up with him just after 6am and had breakfast with him. I was at a bit of a loose end after that, so I decided to give the new kettlebell a whirl when Husband got up and could keep an eye on the boys. Just a little session, as I am training again tomorrow afternoon.

3 rounds of:

  • two-arm kettlebell swings – 12kg
  • backward kettlebell lunges – 12kg

It felt good to have done a little exercise but it really showed (yet again) that I need to work on my cardio. My heart rate shot up and I was beginning to be out of breath. Urgh.

And all that lovely sunshine that I saw when I woke? Gone, and it’s only bloody snowing…

Bloglovin

Have you seen that Google Reader will cease to exist after 1 July? I know, I know… Isn’t it a crazy decision?

I actually switched over to Feedly on the iPhone a couple of weeks ago, completely by coincidence and before I read about the pending demise of Google Reader. I love the interface; my only gripe would be that I cannot seem to add all the blogs that I would like (but this seems to be a problem for many, so I would hope they’ll fix this soon). I’m testing this out and I’ve also dug out my username and password for Bloglovin, which is a fantastic app/website for catching up on all the blogs you follow.

What will you be using in place of Google Reader?

Sephora excitement

In the last few weeks of my maternity leave I had a reminder on my phone, telling me to take the Roslagsbanan train to Täby. Why, you ask, what was there? Sephora is the answer.

Of course, as is the way with reminders (or is the way with me and reminders anyway), I never got around to going.

And then, just before I returned to work, I was wandering down Biblioteksgatan in the city and I saw that Sephora is opening a new branch in Stockholm, just metres away from my office. It opens at the end of March. I think my bank manager might be having words with me quite soon after…

Boob maternity offer

I received an email this morning from Campadre, a site selling clothes, shoes and interiors via limited-time sales, and I noticed that among their daily sales, they have Boob design maternity and breastfeeding clothes for the next few days.

You can register with them to buy or to receive these daily emails detailing their new sales. At the moment they also have sales on Rosti kitchen items, Ulrika handbags and Blink shoes among others.

Enjoy!

Baby E slept through the night for the second night in a row (hooray!), so why do I feel so incredibly tired today?

Answers on a postcard, please… ;)
