He feels much calmer and at ease than before. He even says he <strong>wants<\/strong> to go to bed some evenings. Now that\u2019s a first.<\/p>\n<p>It feels good to be the kind of mum I <strong>want<\/strong> to be, not the kind it\u00b4s easy to be and my kids loves it.<br \/>\nThose 2 hours a day makes all the difference in the world for them AND me.<\/p>\n<p>So what happens after our little gems are safely tucked in and sleeping?<br \/>\nMe and husband gets quality time to ourselves. What do we do? We fiddle around the house and then watch one of our favourite shows on TV. We are currently following these shows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Suits \u2013 Mr Spector just rocks my world..every time.<\/li>\n<li>Arrow \u2013 Well\u2026good story and one of the most attractive men on TV, Stephen Amell. He is both handsome and does some fantastic charity work.<\/li>\n<li>The Flash \u2013 just plain ol\u00b4fun.<\/li>\n<li>Madam Secretary \u2013 Humour on both mine and husbands level. Smart conversation and fantastic dynamics between the characters<\/li>\n<li>Scandal \u2013 Olivia Popes adventures never cease to intrigue me.<\/li>\n<li>The Mentalist \u2013 Simon Bakers character of Patrick Jane makes me smile.<\/li>\n<li>Marvels agents of S.H.I.E.L.D \u2013 I love the comic books and the TV show doesn\u00b4t disappoint.<\/li>\n<li>Royal Pains \u2013 Doctors in the Hamptons that is good clean fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these shows are shown on different dates and the seasons overlap each other so that we get to enjoy them on different weekdays or even months.<\/p>\n<p>So what do I do to keep myself busy when watching TV?<br \/>\nI try not to check my phone and instead do something creative that I like. I am currently making bracelets for a group of very special women. So I sit there connecting little silver rings with each other into a double chain, shaping a pearl needle into a pearl pendant and attaching a leaf clasp to each and every one of them. It takes time and determination. And I love love love it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1830 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/fastlandstois.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048.jpg?w=660\" alt=\"IMG_20150301_210048\" width=\"660\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kahlbom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/kahlbom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kahlbom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kahlbom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kahlbom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kahlbom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/img_20150301_210048-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What do YOU like spending your time doing?<\/p>\n<p>I have coffee to drink before I fall asleep right where I\u2019m sitting.<br \/>\nUntil later dear friends, until later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The daily routine at home has changes quite a bit lately.
