Fruit Loop!

The more I read about this story the more angrier I get. What kind of doctor would let this be done? When I first heard the story I was happy for her and thought what a miracle:) How wonderful to bring so many children into the world. 8 is alot but when you get IVF that is sometimes the risk you take. Then I heard that she had 6 more kids at home, that she was unemployed and lived with her folks! I was SHOCKED! What type of fertility clinic would allow this and how did she pay for this? Why didn't anyone send her to a shrink or just flat out say NO!!

OK I'm not a mommy and so I don't really have the right to have a opinion but what about these poor kids...Yes I'm sure they will be loved but what about school, clothing and just plain everyday things. She admitted in this video that she was struggling to support for 6 other kids....I don't know what the world is coming to?

Jack Frost!!!!

Hi! Well winter finally make its way to Skåne! It wasn't a lot of snow but enough to make many of us happy for a change from the rain and darkness! We usually don't get snow this early so it was a treat!

Jake and I got up early and went for a long walk to take pictures! It was nice at first then the wind picked up and we made or way home!

We are expected to get more snow this week and then it will all melt away again until Feb. But like many of my expats friends we are all hoping for a White Christmas:) Which hasn't happened in these parts in 10 years or so?

Have a great weekend!
