2 peas in a pod <3
My son, 22 months old, and my daughter, 3 days old, look so much alike!!
These are two pictures x 2, where I feel they look almost identical!
(my cousin just asked if there was any chance their identical twins! Lol)
Amazing, huh? :))

Counting down!
Im getting so impatient! (mostly because Im so darn tired!!) pregnancy does indeed wear a woman out: im laying down so much my hips hurt!
No joke!
Its only 3.5 weeks left, so time flies indeed!! *Gawd Im hungry!*
and my movements are NOTHING to brag about anymore.
I havent really left the house in a week!! For real! Its quite horrible of me, I know!!
Im hanging out with my little man who is teething and has a bit of a cold: safe to say that we truly are quite the pair some days <3 oh how I love my nugget!!
He is 21 months and can climb most things to be climbed, he can drink from a normal cup with no spills, he can feed himself with fork and spoon (but tends to drift off into thoughts and mischief so momma is still helping so we dont starve!) he mostly jumps, he says TA when he gets something, he knows the color blue and can do the rolling norwegian "R" sound. He can work the ipad on his own: start it up, scroll pages, find his games, Enter different pages on games/books, slide pages etc, he can exit games and open new ones.. And we need to work on sharing it... He can get things from almost any height in the house, he feeds the fishies, he jumps SO high on his trampoline (and only falls over on purpose!) he can carry groceries home, he picks lovely buckets of flowers, and he gives the best cuddles in the world! Awesome at painting, drawing, play dohing, helping and building w blocks! He does puzzles and loves his books.
He is eternally fascinating <3

Mmmm bikkies!
Cooking made easy!
I left chilis and sugar out in the kiddo version and replaced sesame with poppy seeds. I also used oregano, thyme and parsley and chives instead of only chives.
On the grown up version I used a sprinkle more of salt and chili and i aldo went for organic flour :)
Enjoy :)

Hurry! Hurry! Im selling 2 of my favorite paintings! :)
I have decided to sell two of my personal paintings:
Notorious BIG, " ready to die" acrylic on canvas. Painted 2009.
And is an original by me.
This is a large painting, 1mx1m (or it could be 80cmx80cm....)
The video of its making is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNrgzJMoiL0&feature=youtube_gdata_player/a>r
If your interested, please mail me on info@minimonki.com
The second painting up for sale is one of my all time favorites, and the photo does not make it justice.
Its called "Pill-factory"-and is an original by me.
This one is also large, 1mx80cm would be my educated guess.
(I apologize for guessing but these paintings are currently in Oslo, and I'm in Sydney.
The paintings can be shipped worldwide though!)
It was painted in 2002 and is acrylics on a homemade canvas made from cotton.
(I would recommend to frame this piece, as the frame its on is not pretty... What can I say; i was young, broke and had to re-use a lot!
Still this is a definite all-time favorite and it would look great in a black frame!)
For more info, mail me at info@minimonki.com
There is no price on these paintings, but you can mail me and suggest a price.
Note that Im selling these because I am in need of a few things to proceed with my art.
Regards and thank you:

<3 + cupcakes
Im so happy to have this fantastic little boy to hang out with all day-every day!
We have so much fun!
I also found a recipe i want to try sometime... I make great cupcakes but oh this frosting looks aaaamazing! :)
"This is the recipe for the Magnolia Bakery, NY.
Cupcake frosting.
Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting Recipe
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
6-8 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add in 4 cups sugar, then the milk and vanilla. On medium speed of an electric mixer, beat about 3-5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well (about 2 minutes) after each addition, until the icing is thick enough for good spreading consistency (you may not need all of the sugar).
If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly. Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled" -found on the vogue forum.
Mmmm will need to try this one out immediately! :)
In the meanwhile, I end todays writing on the wall, with some piccies of my hero!

A big update :)
Not having written all through C's first year but I got stalked by someone mean and didn't know what to do! Sucky, I know, but thats what happens when you speak your mind in a public forum.... I will, however, try to keep it up this time :)
C is now 15 months old and a very very funny little man. He does so many funny things all the time and he really entertains us 24/7! He loves to climb and jump, piggy back rides, to walk under blankets or with his eyes closed, to walk backwards, rolly pollys, run around, he loves swings and slides and especially water, fountains, pools and the freedom to explore on his own!
He has been talking for a while, but always sticks with one word at a time: mamma for a month, pappa for a month, daddy for two months, nam nam for a month etc etc <3
and he makes noices! From hiiiigh pitch sounds to tiny whispers, and raspberries and spille på slurva <3 he also sings and dances, plays his trumpet and drums and maracas <3
He loves to draw! <3
He can walk up and down the stairs, which is a good thing to know how to do :) (we keep forgetting to close the safety gate and so, teaching him how to use it was a better option than panicking every time!)
and he is a little wrestling dude at night when he keeps throwing himself around bed <3 too cute!
At night he sleeps between us and is a safe and good sleeper!
Our little hero <3

Dear bloggy!
Im terribly sorry that I discontinued writing to you! It was never my intention to quit.
But I had to close you down and change your name and take out all real names, as I was getting stalked due to a political statement that caused some havoc!
I dont know if you know this, but I am politically active and tho its not a side of me that i share a lot, it is ALWAYS lingering and Im sure you must have noticed...
I dont care about political correctness though. To some point, certainly, but I dont sensor myself due to public opinion and correctness... Which in turn can create hatred and awfulness...
I love having a platform and i love that 14000+ people find what i say interesting, but that too, has two sides... As a lot of love is shared and given, so is faceless anger; which can be rather horrible!
So I had to shut you down dear Bloggy! But now...
Im back!
