I won't admit it anywhere else, but for the first time ever, I actually felt almost Swedish today. The first snowfall came yesterday but it was really sunny this morning, so I took LO out for a walk. Her first walk in freezing temps! She's super cozy in her bundler and fell straight to sleep. I had her sleeping on the deck in the backyard and even walked inside for 2 mins while I boiled water for my latte (I have a fast kettle)!

I finally brought her inside because, get this, it's too sunny and I'm afraid she'd get sunburned! Wahhhh ... I've come a long way!

Why almost? Because I would have raked the damn leaves before I had my coffee, if I was ;D

Are there any local customs you've surprised yourself in practicing? How about some odd cultural practices that your parents did with you as a child? Will you do the same for your LO?
