Why get some sunshine?

So you use sunscreen? Why get sun on our body?

I don't use sunscreen! I use coconut oil!!!

What oil!! You will get a burn! You will get cancer! You will die!

Well not really...

I don't mean don't protect your skin or li sent to your doctors advice. But for my skin type I use coconut oil BECAUSE it actually is a natural sunscreen 4. I never really burn so I'm lucky that way. 

The sun also make you produce vitamin D. The vitamin our body can not make it self. And the sun is also free. No need to buy expensive supplements. Or if you do you don't need to take it on times where you are getting enough sunshine. 

An other thing about vitamin D is that it actual kills cancer cells in our body. So if I then put cancerous chemicals on my body in forms of sunscreen blocking my body for making it own cancer killing system... Isn't that kind of backwards? Get the right amount of sun not burning our skin so we can get skin cancer but then giving it help to fight "evils" 

What do you think

Happy (the right amount) tanning people

Enjoy that sun 

Pancakes!

So, Jonas has been asking for pancakes for a while, but I have not had the time to figure out how to best make them, I always find that pancakes have been a struggle. I mean the norwegian thin kind. This morning I managed to do it.

Here is the recipe :

6 eggs

1/2 cup milk 

2 tbs coconut flour

1-2 tsp vanilla powder

1 tbs arrowroot flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tbs honey

1 tbs MCT oil

Butter the pan well. But I had NO stickiness what so ever with these. and I managed to get them nice and thin as well

1 year. I can not believe it.

First picture

<3 LOVE <3

So little dude is turning one!

WOW!

Here is a little mix from his year. 

(The pictures did not want to upload in the right order so frustration made it just like this)

Some play time with your big brother in the morning as always fun

You absolutely love food

Look at those cute little teeth

More morning cuddles with Døss as you now call Jonas

You love being outside and we have done lots of walk this year

Always charming the ladies??

Getting into the kettlebelling with Mamma

In March 2015 you started daycare. They all say you are a very easy and happy baby. Always smiling and really enjoying playtime.

You love baths here you are having a bath at the cabin. Thats is how mamma gets to clean the floors now 

Look what a little boy

Love your little hands

Bestemor was there for your birth. She is such a wonderful lady. And she loves you so much

Sometimes you get very mad

And sometimes you are very serious

Only 2 months old we traveled to our cabin in Hatzic. Our own special place. You spent your whole summer in the sun. In nature. With so many friends and family that love you so such

We went camping in a tent in Osoyous

My little cutie

One of the rare pictures of you smiling in the carseat. As you really are no fan of the car

Here we were in Amsterdam on our way home from Canada. A little overlay there to make the jet lag a little bit easier

Then we were back in Norway and we needed to start dressing for the winter. Sissel knitted you this cute outfit/sleepingbag

Showing off those little teeth again

Always happy to be going outside... But maybe not loving the getting dressed part

These girls arrived from Ethiopia and were so amazing with you. And very fascinated 

Our little xmas photo shoot. 

Two handsome boys we have

Then we had lots of fun times in the snow

Being bit silly with mamma

Hey where is santa??

A picture from your first month with us. Jonas is such a proud big brother

Happy little Nisse's

Playing with Storebror in the snow. Loving it

Muchkin 

Some days we would just dress you and and put you in your exersauser. You love outside 

Tante Tina came home from Beirut. And is now living with us for a little bit. I think you love her too

Cant believe you used to fit inside my tummy

We love you so much little handsome.

Have a great 1st birthday.

1 year old baby. My body changes

So one year ago I looked just like this....

Walking about in the hospital bathroom... in circles..knowing that soon my second son would be born

I have done a few pictures over the year to see the changes in my body. 

I have been working on it all the time. Right food and a good workout routine 

With my first kid I gained about 30 kilograms and I struggled so bad getting rid of it. Until I discovered the simple thing called real food.

So here are some pictures from my year.

This is how Iooked about 3 days after he was born.

It's such a funny sensation when it's "empty"

This is about one month after

side

And front

This is my back after getting more back into training again. About  months

Here is my regard to my self for loosing most of my baby weight by the time we were leaving Canada. 

A viking tattoo with the kids names in runes. 

Amore vincit omnia in the middle as our engagement rings says. All in an 8 shape for my sister

My tummy... well at xmas

Look at my tiger stripes as i call them. And my bellybutton will probably never be the same again. It's always sticking out a bit ;P

And this is me now. Well I guess this picture was taken about a month or so ago, but it's still the same now. 

I'm very happy with what I have achieved in this past year. 

Some people think I'm crazy. But thats ok. Like I've said before,  my likeminded people and friends and family are such amazing supporters. And I could not have done this all by my self.

I'm a strong believer that my kids are benefitting from our lifestyle. They are healthy and strong boys. 

I'm learning with this lifestyle to be more happy. 

So I'm gonna keep going at it.

This is not a fad for me it is now a part of me

EAT, SLEEP, TRAIN, LOVE= HAPPINESS

Ugly food!

The ugly wolffish. 

I'm finding that eating fish has kind of faded away in the last little while and I know why. I love trout and salmon. The two fishes that are hardest to find that are not farm raised. I really don't need zombie fishes on my plate raised on grains and who knows what. 

Yes I will still eat it on occasion... But I'm finding it harder and harder to justify buying it...

So today when I went to the fresh seafood counter at Coop to see what my options are that are also not gonna cost me all the money in the world. So this ugly guy does not cost the most and he tastes pretty darn good too

                              

I did not bother decorating the ugly guy either. 

But what I did  was

Fried up some easterham in butter. Boiled brussel sprouts then mix those two together with some pink himmalayan sea salt

In the butter and fat that is left I put the fish also added turmeric and some more sea salt into that mix. 

Had a look in my fridge...

There is found some red pepper I could cut up, along with some leeks that had to be used soon, so that went in to the mix.

Then I used some fresh dill and basil for some green, flavourful and nutritional color

And then half a lemon squeezed in there 

A sprinkle of parmesan on top YUM!!

It was so good!

Both kids ate really well. Jonas is starting to be a lot better with his eating. He has always ate everything but sloooowly. He is eating better now, still playing silly with his brother but he is 5 so let him be silly from time to time. 

And here is a silly picture of me and Johan

He gets so serious with shades on
