Christmas decorations everywhere. A spotless home. Absurd amounts of food. Too much wine. Spending time with relatives you don’t really like. Adding to your credit card debt to buy way too many Christmas gifts. It doesn’t have to be that way. Forget about all the should have been surrounding Christmas. Find your own way. A few Christmas decorations that you love. […]
Everyone can homeschool their kids. In fact, you’re already doing it. Every weekday afternoon and evening. Every weekend. Every school holiday. Every hour that your kid isn’t in regular school, they are being homeschooled. You need to act on this. Discuss important things at the dinner table. Talk to them about things that matter. Challenge them to think for themselves […]
Today is Lucia. A Swedish tradition that’s celebrated all over the country and also among exile Swedes in other parts of the world. Lucia and her maids and star singers walk in procession and sing traditional hymns. In schools and kindergarten, Lucia is also accompanied by Santas and kids dressed up as gingerbread. Almost every little town has their Lucia […]
Is there really a free will? Or are we just reacting to input that is around us in a way that’s predetermined by our genes? Does it matter? Either we have a free will and we can shape our future which way we want. Or we don’t have a free will and everything we do is determined by our genetic […]
Math. The one subject with the most stigma. The one subject that can elicit powerful emotions. Either you’re for or against. Either you love math or you hate it.

Drip by drip. Day by day. You’ll get there in the end if you just stick with it. It’s easier said than done, but you give up way too easily. At the first obstacle, you simply drop things and decide that it’s not for you. You have to push through the resistance. Buying a lottery ticket. It’s the easy way […]

Wishing otherwise will not change anything. All you can do is make the best decision with the information at your disposal. When we have […]
How do you know when to quit a project and start all over again? How do you know that there really isn’t anything more you can do and it’s time to call it a day? How do you know that you’ve explored every possible angle? How do you know that the project itself is a solid one, but it’s you […]
That spark in her eyes when she’s onto something. That determination when she has a project she’s working on. Nothing can stop her. She’s ready to take on the world. Let her. Encourage her. Don’t stand in her way saying that this is not for girls. We have to stop treating half the world’s population as second class citizens. We […]
Don’t be afraid of empty spaces. There’s no need to clutter every flat surface with things. Choose a favorite piece or two to decorate your windowsill. Only keep things that you truly enjoy. Don’t keep them out of some obligation to the person who gave them to you. They are yours, you can do whatever you please with them. Perhaps, […]
