Team Nikolovski In the parenthood jungle part 1


I have managed my first year in the parenthood jungle full of do's and dont's, hard times as well as fun and happy times. All in a great big confusing mix. From one day to another ( kind of besides 9 months of growing bump and hemorrhoids) I got a new title and function in life – Mamma. The most important and best title I could ever ask for. But also a lot to learn and to Google. All the googling and discussions in parenthood forums and blogs have been great help but also a giggle and great inspiration to fun illustrations. 

Here is some of my collection of Hot Topics from the parenthood jungle ( and more to come) enjoy my top five list below.

1.Bottle v/s Breast
Sensitive topic indeed not to mention how sensitive nipples become after experiencing a small baby's powerful suction in combination of their lack of technique. Endless questions, discussions and research what to do and what not to do and what really makes your baby the most clever ?


2. Home-made food v/s Supermaket jars
Where do you find the most nutrition's and the least pesticides for your little sweet heart?
What will they accept to put in their mouth? What to do and what to make ? And most frequent asked question how do you get the time? And how bad are you if feeding your baby jar food straight from the supermarket?





3. Working mum v/s Staying at home mum 
Hot topic indeed at least out of Sweden ( In Sweden the kindergartens are affordable from young age and more or less the only way to do things to fit into the society) There is a little rivalry tone between the two types which is very easy to detect in most forums. Guilt, pride, priorities, carrier and home-made buns in a great big mix of feelings.

 

4.Sleeping or not sleeping and how they are sleeping
The topic of all topics!! Sleeping, sleeping patterns, sleeping methods, sleeping hours and not sleeping hours. 



5. Pink Princesses
Even out of Sweden it is terrible to dress girls in pink. Pink princesses is like cursing and soooo past decades. To be right in todays climate dress you boy in pink and you girl in blue, black, red, orange and yes whatever color you like but pink.
Today I found great illustration from a Swedish illustrationblog, hejhejvardag, on the same topic.



Watch the space soon more reconnaissances to come from the parenthood jungle !!

Karatänuppdatering

Det har gått 15 dagar sedan jag sist gjorde en uppdatering om Corona statusen här i Düsseldorf Eftersom vi när skolorna beslutades att stängas var sjuka och ganska rejält sjuka hela gänget så kände vi först inte av hur livet i karantän eller isolering var eftersom vi även under vanliga omständigheter hade hållt oss hemma. Om vi hade Corona det får vi aldrig veta eftersom dom inte testar här i nuläget, men jag har aldrig blivit så risig av en vanlig förkylning med hosta, tungt i bröstet och väldigt väldigt lite energi. Det positiva var att det var inga problem att få kontakt med vården och den hjälp vi behövde här i Düsseldorf, vi ringde innan för att kolla om vi verkligen fick komma in med feber och det fick vi fast genom särskilda ingångar på sjukhuset. Känns tryggt också med den mindre barnklinik dit barnen går som vi hittills alltid har fått tid samma dag och även för oss vuxna walk in klinik utan att behöva ringa innan eller långa köer. Jag ska tillägga att vi inte har någon dyr p...

IF: Ocean

Ocean is this weeks topic on Illustration Friday.  Prague is cold and snowy at the moment. A nice warm summer day is far away and so are the ocean. But we keep dreaming of warm sunny days and the ocean far away.  Havet är veckans inspirationsord på Illustration Friday. Prag är snöigt och kallt idag. Sommarens varma väder är långt bort och det är havet också. Men vi drömmer om soliga dagar och havet långt borta.

A hate-love relationship

 I have a love-hate relationship to washing. I love the feeling of putting things in the washing machine. If I don't have things in the washing basket ready for washing I go for a hunt around the apartment looking for things that can do with a wash. This behavior is totally inherited from my mother who could ask me to take clothes off so she could wash it ( possible that they also smelled a little horsey..) As much as I love the washing moment I hate the feeling of having to fold and put away washed and dried cloths.And don't even mention ironing, I refuse, a crease or two has never hurt anyone... These days the washing pile is bigger but at the same time more bright and colorful. Sweet little clothes for a sweet little girl. Jag har ett speciellt förhållande till att tvätta kläder, en passionerad hatkärlek. Kärleken riktas mot att få stoppa in kläder i tvättmaskinen för tvätt. Finns det inte mycket i tvättkorgen letar jag rätt på något som kan behöva en tvätt. ...
