New start, new blog and a small introduction
EDIT: THE BLOG STARTS UNDER THIS POST! This is a “sticky note,” and I have now gotten help to import my other blog posts here from my old blog, so it isn’t empty!
(the rest of the journal post starts under this sticky note post)
Hey guys! I decided to make a completely new blog. Reason? So many reasons so I decided to make a whole new one. A fresh start. New start.
I will blog on this one from now on. I have bought a domain so I’m waiting on it to be active so this blog/corner/journal etc become more “real”.
For all new readers (maybe some are from my old blog), my name is E (will not write my whole name due to the restart of the blog) —goes by Mi. I’m 35 years old and I’m currently a Stay at home mom but studying on the same time.
In my little journal here i will have focus on lifestyle but will also share photos i have taken both of my regular life (moments etc) but also photos I have taken with my “professional” cameras – Canon. Yes I’m a photographer as well. So much!
I am very much into makeup and odd fashion so I will probably be showing that as well. By odd fashion I mean – all black, skulls, skirts etc. Think alternative / Gothic style.
I am also a plus size woman but is working on the weightloss so I will write a bit about that sometimes as well.
What I’ll not show in the blog is pictures of my son’s face. If I share, It will be either blurred or somehow not showing his face.
Like I said, this journal is focused on lifestyle and according to Google, this was a good name. Lol! So let’s see how it works.
Note; I am self-taught English so I apologize for wrong spellings, wrong grammar etc!

A Few Glimpses of My Tuesday
A Few Glimpses of My Tuesday
Today has been rainy all day, and honestly, I’m a little disappointed about it.
I wanted to go out and take sunset photos with tiny macro details, but yesterday the sun was way too harsh, and today the weather forecast promised the rain would stop in the morning.
Well… they were very wrong.
It has been raining all day, and it’s still raining right now.
Still, the day has been pretty calm.
I took the bus to bring my son some clothes, and on the way I ended up rescuing around 15 snails from the road so they wouldn’t get run over by bikes, scooters, or people walking past.
“Come here, little friend,” I caught myself saying every time I picked one up and moved it safely into the grass.
Which is funny, because I actually dislike bugs, snails, and all those tiny creatures… but somehow I still rescue snails. The ones with shells, at least.
Those giant black killer snails, though? Absolutely not.
So yes.
A rainy, sleepy, snail-rescuing kind of Tuesday.
Honestly, a pretty okay day.How was your day?

Sleep deprived and sleepwalking
A night without sleep and.. a sleepwalking child?
This night is not going well for me. I can’t sleep (writing this post, it’s 3am), and my son has woken up several times and come to our bed, so I have walked him back to his and laid down next to him.
All of a sudden, he sits up. I try to make him lie down again, but no. After like 10 minutes he lay down again. He talks in his sleep, and boom, at 2.50am he gets up. Go to the living room and start packing his backpack. I followed him and tried to get him to come back to bed—no success.
Packed his bag and say, “Now let’s go,” and go to the entrance hallway. I had tried for several minutes to get him back to bed, and when he said that, I answered him, “Yes, to the bed,“ and here we are now.
I wonder why and when it happened. Has it happened before? While I have been sleeping? I have never seen E walk in his sleep or anything so. Note that the whole apartment is completely pitch black, and he walks around with no problem.
Due to me not being able to sleep, my eyes have adjusted to the minimum of lights.
So now I’m in his bed, trying to get him to fall asleep, but no success. At this rate, it won’t be any school for me.

Glimpses of my weekend
Glimpses of my weekend – week 20 {may 15-17}
Another weekend has come to an end and oh boy, has it been a roller-coaster of emotions, moments and thoughts.
Friday ; E didn’t have any school {only the after-school school thing} and when he came home, we went on a car ride. Just, to go for a ride and change environment for a bit. Well, see something else.
Sunset. Not fall. Saturday; unfortunately, the bug found us. The sick bug. We had a calm day. Had to go to the store, though, and E had a face mask on. No gems were escaping—have no fear! A face mask is here to protect everyone. Lol!
Sadly we had to go to the store three times , yes you read correctly. Every time, E had a facemask on and we kept distance from everyone. When chrck out, E stood at the end of the checkout so i could pay etc with no worries for anyone
Don’t worry {we kept distance. E had face mask and I barely spoke}
Round one; carrots (for me. Weighloss), bread, roasted onions (for E and his stomach) and Pepsi Max. As usual. We also bought an ice cream to E.
Round two; bananas.
I made a smoothie with passion fruit, strawberries, blackberries, mango and raspberries. Oh my. It was sound so I had to add a pinch of sugar in it. I didn’t like that I had to add some sugar so.. I decided I needed bananas. So off we went again. Additional on shopping; chocolate.
So bright.
Round three ; package.
We came home from round two, and we were sitting in the living room. Me checking my phone, noticing the post office app, and remembering I had a package to get. So off we went. I even joked with E, saying, “What you don’t have in your head, you surely have in your legs, but now we can’t come back for a fourth time. Three times is enough.”
At home again sadly E threw up again. So back to the couch and blankets.
Sunday ; staying home & bubbles
Today we have been home, chilling. Although we had to go to the store once to buy French fries and bread..again.
I finally remembered that I bought E a new bubble machine when his broke, so today he got it and oh my, was it a hit!! He has emptied two cans of soapbubblesmix.
I also did a little DIY fix on my tripod. When I was going to fix it and put on the bag, I noticed the plate that holds the camera when using it was coming off, so I brought out the big guns ~ the box with all the screws. Unfortunately I only had a long one that fit the hole, but hey, at least I can use it now.
Photos from the weekend.
The bruise is after I smacked my knee in the livingroom table last Thursday (14th of May) and this is how it looks now.

Stay motivated?
How do you stay motivated when learning something new?
Well, if it is something I like to learn, for example, I love learning new languages. That keeps me motivated because it’s something new and interesting. But if it was something boring, I would lose motivation and interest.

Something I’ve been waiting for
The smile I have right now is insane.
Hello my beautiful friends! ❤️🌸 I hope you all are doing well this Saturday.
I thought I would post a “Dear Diary” post with exciting stuff!
Today I finally picked up my package from the post office!
I had actually forgotten that I had a package to pick up but remembered it when I saw the app on my phone.
You all know I’m a photographer and I have a lot of gears but is right now all over my home because I don’t have a camera bag that fits it all.. Well now I do!
A professional camera backpack from Tarion! No, this is not an ad or sponsorship. I bought this with my own money.
Not the best photos because I had to rush taking them. My son wanted to have it (no equipment in it yet.!)
He repeatedly said his name and bag ~ “Exxxxxs bag” so I had to explain to him that it’s mine and what it is for. Lol.
