Eid prep

-
I was not sure what or how I will do for Eid but after watching few videos, I got the inspiration and idea.

So I had made these donuts a while back and today made an accordion style banner also
We have been thinking to go to Ullared for big shop specially regarding kids' eid gifts. And I have visualized amazing gifts presentation this year. I have the pinata made, filled and ready. Now I need to find a shiny gift wrap for some over the top presentation as I want to wow the boys.
Also I want an amazing cake that just adds to the fun sweet decor we will have.

(the Swedish princess cake) When I came to Sweden, I came to know that this cake is my husband's favourite. That's when I decided to make it for his birthday and started research on it. I had to take recipes form different places and blend them up so that it looks and tastes like the one you get at Maxi. It's supposed to be a very easy recipe, but well, I'm new to baking. This was a surprize for him and he was certainly happy that I made it just after 3 months of being in Sweden. I think things work best when you do them for a special reason, in a special spirit. :) So here goes! THE BASE I made the cake from Kungsörnen's sockerkaka (which means sugar cake or sweet cake).

Had I not had the whole world in my hands through it, I would not have been able to do even half of the things I manage. Yes it does distract from children and wastes time and sleep etc but it can be such a helpful tool to look for things you need, be inspired, stay organized, and although generally it might be considered a bit dumb or lazy to just google everything, in this season of life with very small kids, it's a blessing to be able to know that thing, it doesn't matter how you got to it.  Reading while nursing? Planning a party at 3am after baby sleeps? Ordering medicines or gifts in the middle of the night? Talking to mom on video while still in bed? I still can't believe we are going through this, we have this power, this access. It is mind blowing. I am so blessed to have access to this modern technology and internet and just wish I will continue to improve the quality of ti

Libero offered in stores that you get a small ryggsäck when you send receipts for one packet diapers and two babyvårdsprodukter. I wanted it for free but libero products are expensive, so when willy:s sent me a gift card for 50 kr, I bought libero's hand and face wipes and baby oil. You had to stamp the small envelope they provided, and send it. Here's what I received after almost 2 weeks.
