"As we leave another year behind us, and turn towards a new one filled with dreams and ambitions, we find ourselves coming to a halt. Big plans and splendid turn-of-events is not what we have in store for the year of 2025.
Instead we am preparing for the birth of our second baby this winter.
That means that we mostly preparing for inactivity, long days in bed and on the couch with a newborn. We are making nourishing meals and baking pastries ahead in order to have to do as little as possible other than taking care of our 2 year old and her soon-to-be newborn baby brother.
So far, we have the following prepared for us in our freezer:
2 dishes of curry
two bags of buns
four loaves of ryebread
cinnamon rolls
and one bag of delicious chocolate cookies.
Our renovations of the home will have to come to a halt. We will have enough on our hands, without having any major renovations going on in the house. If we find the time, we will paint the upper floor, which right now is an empty attic. One day we will turn all that empty space into our childrens bedroom and an office for Herluf, so we do not have to share our small bedroom between the four of us and Herlufs work set-up.
But not this day. Not this year. Maybe the next.
You see, we are somewhat tied up this year. We will have enough on our hands with two children for sure, but we are also in a period of saving money to actually buy our house, instead of essentially renting it. Since we rely on only one income, saving up means there are no money for renovations.
For this year, we will have to make due with what we got."
