Hello my loves! I have so many photos from Italy I want to show you all but unfortunately the blog would only be full of them with no text or so but some are some “work of art” in my opinion.
Note that I edit these on my phone (and I blog on my phone) so I have honestly no idea how they look on computers.
Our way back from Burano we went to this area. Unfortunately I dont remember what this location was called but maybe some of you know.
this was the area I had to “run” through really fast. The stress i had when I only had 5% in battery here but wanted to try capture some photos. I have more to show but I just share these for now 🥰
Let me know if I share to many photos in one post or if you want me to continue.
Hello my loves! iam currently in the bath writing this post. As you all know, I went back home to Sweden last Saturday (26th) and yesterday (sunday) was a huge struggle for me.
I was awake the entire time! I didnt sleep at all that night, or on the plane nor the train. I didnt go to sleep until 11pm so i dont know how many hours that I was awake (and im honestly to tired to count right now).
I really tried to get some sleep on the plane and train but no. I couldn’t. not even for a second.
breakfast/lunch/the day before dinner
Saturday ; it was one stressful morning / day. I didnt sleep anything at all. Everything was closed at the airport when I arrived there so I had to wait to be able to buy something to eat. Luckily I had ice tea with me that I drank until a coffee shop opened.
The sandwich was very.. interesting. I dont know what kind of ham they have in Italy but its way different than what im used to.
Sandwhich; edamer cheese, some lettuce and some ham. Heated up. ●●●● 2 of 5.
Fruit cup; mix of apple, pineapples, melon and peach. ●●●● 3 of 5. I couldn’t eat the apples due to problems and the reason why so low in points was because to tasted like its been out in the sun for hours.
Ice tea – Peach; When it comes to ice tea iam very very picky so I was actually surprised that I found an ice tea from a convenience store next to my hotel where I stayed at, that I really liked. Not so sweet and not so bitter. Perfect combination. ●●●● 4 of 5. The flavors was smashing but there’s something I cant put finger on that I was missing. I recommend this tea tho! (I will see if I find a picture later of it)
At the airport in Stockholm, Sweden I got really mad because my luggage was delayed and actually lost but later was found. Fortunately I got it in time so I could take the train I had tickets to instead of buying new ones. The amount of stress and to find the right platform of right side of the airport for the right train etc was .. wow. but luckily I managed JUST IN TIME to find it.
While waiting those few minutes I had to spare before the train came i noticed that the suitcase of mine was damaged! It is the second time I use this suitcase! I have never in my life ever thought that it was true with what I have seen.. that the airport damage someones property/ belongings and now I have seen it myself! I was (still are) beyond me. Mad? Yes! Upset? Ofcourse! Kinda make myself feel dumb? Oh yes! Like never in my wildest dreams I ever thought this would actually happen!
with 3% battery left on my phone i made a quick call to notify M about the suitcase. After several pictures taken later, I finally stepped on the train. Smacked the suitcase behind me and just sat down. Tried to get a little bit of sleep but during the train home I felt how my bloossugar was declining and going down so I rushed to grab the fruit cup I remembered I had.
On the train I edited some photos I took and tried this black and white contrast thing. I dont know what I feel / if I like them but here is some I show you before I talk about yesterday (Sunday)

Sunday; with the big S.. sleeping.. I was so tired yesterday. I fell asleep three times within a few hours. It was like someone had smacked my head several times with something big and heavy. I couldn’t keep my eyes open. So after E went to sleep I finally went to bed.. 20.15pm ish or so.
I didnt have any energy. It’s like all those sleepless nights I had in Venice due to migraine and heat just came crashing down on me and yeah. Today iam feeling a bit better. Still super tired but a bit better. Back to reality life. Routines is finally starting again with E and his school. Night schedules are changed back and now comes the hard part… to get myself up and stay awake during the days.
Two weeks / 14 days left til I go back to school and become a student. .. AGAIN! But this time im actually taking a big step in right directions to become the preschool teacher for special need childen. I can’t wait! I’m excited but on same time im terrified because its at the same school as I did my nurse education and I hate that school.
im gonna fix more pictures and add them here in the blog. I will also share some on my instagram; thecaffeinatedraccoon yes it is really my username on Instagram. I had to change due to the stalker in my former school and havent changed back since. I might do that one day.
Hey guys! I’m sorry I have been low on updating the blog for the past days. I have been on my feets pretty much the entire time to see everything and take pictures!
Saturday when I arrived, I wasn’t able to check in until 2pm and I was here at 9am ish. So I got to store my bags etc in their closet and off I went to explore.
At first I was super excited to go to the city of Vemice (Venezia). I was so happy and ready to see all the romance people has talked about, the gondolas etc.
these pictures I took on my way to the hotel. Below you can see the pictures I took from Venezia.
and I have arrived.. well few hours ago ish. I have just been walking around.
I found my favorite pair of sunglasses so ofcourse they are coming with me! 🙌🏻
On the way here the train ofcourse had to stand still for an hour or more due to people being on the tracks and didnt want to move. The police was called. But after alot of sitting and a massive headache later, I arrived.
I have been walking around so now im sitting on ONE empty spot I found. People is lying down on every seating areas 🥴
I have eaten a little, not so much. I cant eat when its summer and the heat is bad. So imagine when im in italy! Ohmy.
I’m sad that they didnt have Pepsi Max. Two packs of gums, this sandwich and this soda cost me 15€ . INSANE! But they are extensively expensive here at the airport.
so now im just gonna chill for a bit, and try not to fall asleep. My flight leaves in four hours. Oh god.
Countdown has started.. School is soon over and our family vacation is coming up.
Unfortunately i have missed too much in school, I have to re-study the course again. It sucks but what to do? My son has been sick a lot lately which has made me missed so many classes of the course so I decided to study it again from the beginning. Apparently it is a normal situation for parents who studies this course so I honestly don’t feel ashamed. Math isn’t really my subject I can master but last time I managed to go to school I almost broke down due to how much I have missed and how far ahead the others are compared to where iam so I at that class restarted my book again, told my teacher and it was fine.
Countdowns; 21 days til course is over (school) for this semester • 52 days til the vacation.
I can finally tell you guys about the vacation. I’m honestly nervous. It is the first time we will ever go on a vacation this way with our son. As you might know , our son has autism 3 and is non-verbal so going to Switzerland by car will be a challenge.
How come Switzerland? We honestly it was not my idea. We are actually going there with an other family who my husband knows and they suggested Switzerland. For me, I have no idea what to do there. Like I have never ever had any thoughts of going there but here we go. So iam in full massive planning maniac mode right now. Reading online about tips, ideas, recommendations etc on how to travel with a child with special needs. It is so hard!
Do you have any ideas? recommendations? What to think of and what not to do, when it comes to travel by car with a child who has special needs?
This is all new to me honestly. I am very nervous to go this far by car with our son but I am planning where to stop and finding places for E to be able to run and play around at on our trip to Switzerland. Play areas, food stops, adventure lands etc.
imagine, we are going through the whole entire Sweden, Through Denmark and through Germany to go to Switzerland. We are also planning on going over to Italy etc for day trip and so if possible. A lot needs to be planned and Iam in full maniac mode of planning to make the trip smooth, fixing passports (done), lists, bags, equipment etc.
Not easy to go anywhere with a special need child . it’s scary but on same time iam excited.
Hey guys! I know I have been quiet but now I’m here. I have been busy with school, Christmas breaks, son been sick and a mini vacation! woho!
M surprised me with a trip to Amsterdam, The Netherlands! How fun! I have never been there or outside Sweden/ Scandinavia actually. Norway and Finland for a few hours (big ferry trip). We stayed four nights there. It was so cozy and we saw a lot of things. Went to different museums.
From Sweden 🇸🇪 ✈️ to Amsterdam, The Netherlands 🇳🇱
I Can honestly say, I do not like to go on planes. I hate flying but luckily the flight was only 1h and 45 minutes long.
I dont know how many pictures I have taken but I do know I have 1200+ files on my phone (pics and viseos) and i used two cameras there. 256GB card and one 32GB card. I have actually not looked at them one time since we came home. It has been crazy for a few days.
I will show pics and write about each day in different posts. Like I said, I have so many y pictures to show 🥰
Friday the 10th, we arrived in Amsterdam and checked in at our hotel. We went out for a while to check it out, look for place to eat dinner etc. No we did not try THOSE stuffs while we were there. Anyway, I was so amazed that there were flowers growing, the grass were green etc. Back home we had 50cm snow, minus degrees celsius etc . So yeah I was both amazed and shocked to be honest.
It rained so so bad the first night but we still went out for few hours. I felt like a typical tourist. Two cameras, one phone and GPS on phone. Hey don’t judge, it was our first time there 😅 We didn’t wanna get lost there. So many alleys!
It was a lovely vacation to celebrate our anniversary. E wasn’t with us (he were having a sleep overs at some friends 😊 M & them had planned this).
Thank you for reading. Make sure to follow my Instagram eej.foto where I’m gonna upload more photos!
