Yesterday, I went swimming with Ada. It was really nice. She was diving (not holding her nose) and she has absolutely no fear of water.
Something that caught my eyes at the bathhouse this time… again… and has actually caught my eyes more often lately is that I see many young boys with breasts?? I have noticed that boys have become much thicker than a couple of years ago but now they have obtained breasts like girls get…when they are in adolescence! I find it disturbing.
I have read that to some extent that is normal, but I do not buy that suddenly so many boys have breasts at age of 9-10 years. I feel something is wrong there. I thus talked with a friend, who´s a medical doctor, about it and he also agreed that there are more boys with breasts. He also believes that a big reason for this is the food we are eating!
We agreed that children are thicker today than 20-30 years ago. This increased fat is distributed for storage in the whole body including breasts.
The reason is probably the food we are eating!
The meat we eat today (that is not grown in ecological way) like chicken, cattle, pork and other kind of meat sources are filled with different hormones, including estrogen, to make these animals grow as fast as possible. These hormones then come into our bodies and make for sure quite an impact on small bodies that are under development.
We should take this threat seriously and this should be much more (professionally) discussed and researched about than it is today. Just to say that it is normal for a boy to have breasts when even a layman as me sees a difference at the streets is for me scaring.
For me,for a start, it seems that if one has children (or for yourself) that it is better to let them eat no meat at all, if one cannot afford ecological meat, than to give them any kind of “cheap”, mass produced hormone stuffed meat on the table. .
Jucer smo Ada i ja isle na bazen. Bilo je pravo lijepo. Ronila je, bez da se drzi za nos, i nikako se ne boji vode.
Jednu stvar sto sam na bazenu primjetila i primjecujem sve vise u zadnje vrijeme kako sam vise bila po bazenima je da jako mnogo djecaka ima dojke kao sto curice dobiju u pubertetu.
Citala sam da je do neke mjere to normalno, ali kad toliko djecaka ima dojke u dobi od nekih 9-10 godina meni to onda ne djeluje bas normalno.
Pricala sam o tome sa jednim prijateljem, ljekarom, koji je primjetio isti fenomen.
Slozili smo se da su djeca deblja danas nego prije 20-30 godina. Povecana kolicina masnoce se raspodijeli po tijelu i dio toga se slegne u dojkama kod djecaka.
Isto tako vjeruje da je velika vjerovatnoca da je to od hrane koju jedemo.
Npr. zivotinje koje jedimo su tovljene hormonima poput estrogena, da bi sto brze rasli. Ti hormoni ulaze u tijelo i poremete sistem tih malih tijela koji se razvijaju
Vjerujem da je ovo samo pocetak i da ove stvari profesionalci moraju puno vise diskutovati i izucavati. Reci da je normalno za djecaka da ima dojke kad i laik poput mene vidi da je znatno povecan broj ovoga kod djecaka je cisto ignorisanje situacije.
Za mene djeluje, da ako imas djecu (a i za sebe) da je bolje ne dati da jedu meso (ili bilo sta) koje nije ekoloskog porijekla nego da jedu bilo kakvo „jeftino“ meso koje je masovno producirano i puno hormona…

Life coach- importance of the values / Life coach – vaznost vrijednost
U starom postu sam pisala o jednom zadatku kojeg sam dobila kad bila kod life coacha. Bio je to prilicno jednostavan zadatak, koji se ispostavio da nije tako jednostavan.
Trebala sam napisati 10 najbitnijih vrijednosti u mom zivotu i poredati ih po prioritetu tako kako stvarno vjerujem.
Jer ako ne pratis svoje vrijednosti ili ako odskaces ili previse kompromisa radis na njima onda te to cini nesretnim i nezadovoljnim jer to nisi ti. I kako bi se dobro osjecala ako se uvijek osjecam prevarenom?
Kad sam uradila ovaj zadatak posla je diskusija sa mojim coachem (terapeutom ako hocete)
Prvo me pitala koja mi je najbitnija vrijednost.
Ja sam odgovorila zdravlje naravno.
Zasto? me pitala.
Odgovorila sam: ako si bolestan onda je jako malo stvari koje ti ostaju bitne.
Pitala me life coach onda: Ako je tako bitno sta radis u svom zivotu da ostanes pri dobrom zdravlju?
Ucutila sam se, jer nisam znala sta da odgovorim. Osjecala sam se malo glupo i sramota me bilo. Zasto? Pa zato sto, iskreno, nista nisam radila u svom zivotu da bih svoje zdravlje odrzavala sto bolje ( cak ce prije biti da obratno). Nisam mogla spavati, nisam imala energije za sport, za praviti hranu ma ni za sta.
Znaci ako cak nista ne radim za svoju vrijednost koju sam stavila pod broj 1, sta cu tek onda raditi za vrijednost koja je pod brojem 10? Osjecaj je bio kao da sam sama sebe izdala.
Meni je ovaj zadatak i ovo razmisljanje dosta pomoglo, ako se osjecate izgubljenima, probajte ga uraditi. Budite iskreni prema sebi. Ako nista daje vam mogucnost da se fokusirate na vase vrijednost sto su vama bitne i koje vama donose vise balansa u zivotu i samim mozete poduzeti tacne korake da svoj zivot ispravljate onako kako vama to najbolje pase.
Znaci tri pitanja sebi postavite 1. Sta vam je vrijedno 2. Zasto vam je to vrijedno. 3 Sta radite da tu vrijednost ispostujete toliko koliko vam je bitna?
Some time ago I wrote a post about a task I got to do when I went to a life coach. It was quite a simple task (that is what I thought) but it took me month and a half to write it down. I had to write down the 10 most important values in my life and make a priority which values I really really believed in. Because if you do not follow or you compromise too much on your true values you will never be really happy and satisfied. How could you if you always have the feeling of being cheated?
So having done the task I had to discuss it with my life coach.
My absolute number 1 was of course “health”.
Why? – my life coach asked.
I answered: If you are sick than there are pretty few things that are important to you.
Life coach asks me then: If that is so important to you what are you doing in your life to stay in good health?
I was quiet for a while. She had asked a simple question that should have had a simple answer.
I didn´t know what to answer. I felt stupid and embarrassed. Why? Because, honestly, I didn´t do anything in my life to stay in good health (rather the opposite). I couldn´t sleep, I had no energy to do any sports, than I had no energy to cook proper food and so on.
So if I didn´t even prioritize the value that I had put as. number 1!!, how would I prioritize my value number 10?
If you feel lost, try this method. At least it will make you focus on finding out your true values that will make you feel more balanced in your life.
Weekend in Strasbourg / Vikend u Strasburgu
I booked a hotel in Strasbourg as a birthday gift to Ensar. The hotel I choose is Graffalgar hotel and it was very cool because every room was designed by a different artist. We had one called Monsta, and the room was designed with wolves. The hotel was great. It was clean and not far from the old center.
Za rodjendan Ensar je dobio putovanje u Strasburg. Bukirala sam jedan jako cool hotel koji se zove Graffalgar i dosta je blizu centra. Interesantno je sto je svaka soba u hotelu dizajnirana od nekog drugog umjetnika. Nasa se soba zvala Monsta, a u sobi su bili vukovi po zidovima. Sobe su bile ciste i dorucak je meni bio dobar.
Stari dio grada u Strasburgu je prelijep. Ima lijepe stare zgrade, kafic, prodavnicic i restorane. Ovi stari gradovi su tako lijepo napravljeni da na hiljade turista dolaze da ih vide. Danasnji arhitekti bi mozda trebali i ljepotu uzeti u obzir kad prave zgrade da ne prave samo kvartove istih, kao kavez izgledajucih, zgrada koje niko nece htjeti vidjeti za 50 godina.
With child it is different to travel because it is not really like I can take Ada to museums (I would just run after her and would not see anything). Still I love to go with her because she gets so fascinated of other things then we grown ups.
We decided to take the sightseeing train, that she loved (at least a while), she also loved one of Europe’s if not even worlds oldest carousels and the boat tour was also highly appreciated.
Putovati sa djetetom je malo drugacije nego kad sam ides. Nije bas da mogu Adu po muzejima voditi. Samo bih za njom trcala i nista ne bih vidjela. Ali volim sa njom putovati jer postane fascinirana sasvim drugim stvarima nego odrasli.
Odlucili smo ici na kratki krug sa vozicem, Adi se (barem neko vrijeme) pravo svidjelo. Adi se isto svidio ringispil, koji je jedan od najstariji (ako ne i najstariji) u Evropi ili cak u svijetu. A i voznja sa brodom nam se svima pravo dopala.
The bridge you see in the picture has a dark history. In former times criminals, especially the ones who had hurt (killed, raped, abused and so on) children and women, were put in an iron cage and than thrown into the water.
Most na slici ima tamnu istoriju. U davnim vremenima su kriminalce, pogotovo one koji su zene i djecu ubijali, silovali, maltretirali itd. stavljali u zeljezni kavez, kojeg su onda bacili u vodu.
Here are some of the things that I really liked and I am sure I will go back to Strasbourg for, at least, a tea.
Ovdje je par stvari sto mi se pravo dopalo i sigurna sam da cu se opet vratiti u Strasburg, ako nista barem na caj.
Strasbourg Next / Strasbourg slijedeci
As I wrote previously, it is a little bit difficult to buy a gift for Ensar. I was then thinking “What is the best thing one can do and never regret”? And the answer is of course TRAVEL! So I booked a hotel in Strasbourg and hope we will have a wonderful weekend 😀
If you have any tips of must sees I´ll be happy to read / hear.
Kao sto sam prije napisala tesko je kupiti neki poklon Ensaru. Tako da sam kontala “sta je najbolja stvar koju mozes uraditi a nikad se ne pokajes”? I odgovori je naravno PUTOVATI! Tako da sam bukirala hotel u Strasburgu i nadam se da cemo provesti jedan super vikend tamo. 😀
So proud / Tako ponosna
I spent half the day in a kindergarten full of wild kids. I really gain respect for people working with children. I am pretty sure that must be the hardest job om earth.
Ada loved the kindergarten today. She was so proud she told me she hadn’t even cried. I couldn’t resist but to buy her something. Thinking about it I wonder if that is good parenting? Should one buy things in moments like this or is it making children expect a gift every time they are nice? When I see Ada get so proud and so happy I would buy Ada everything I can 😀
Pola dana smo provele u vrticu sa divljom (sretnom) djecom. Kad to vidim onda stvarno imam respekta prema toj profesij. Mislim da je to najteza profesija koja postoji.
Ada je bila tako ponosna sto danas nije plakala u vrticu da nisam mogla odoliti da joj nesto kupim. Kad malo razmislim o tom potezu onda se zapitam ako je to biti dobar roditelj? Da li je to toliko pametno kupovati stvari u ovim situacijama ili djeca postanu razmazena i ocekuju nesto svaki put kad su dobra? Jer kad je Ada ovako fina i ponosna ja bih joj sve kupila 😀
Inspiration / Inspiracija
I have tons of things still unpacked in our, not so anymore, new apartment. They are draining me of energy and the more time passes the more it drains me. Therefore, I collected tons of energy and started cleaning up things. I finished Ada’s wardrobe and separated tons of my things I cannot wear now. It took some time but afterwards I felt even more motivated to continue. I even decided to buy a marker machine that I think will be useful.
Now the next project is to clear and make the guestroom/home office and use it for what it is supposed to be and not as a store place. I started to look at some inspiration for home offices and I always get fascinated how nice people make their homes 😀
Imam tonu zapakovanih stvari u stanu jos uvijek. Sve sto vise vremena prolazi tako mi vise energije iscrpljuje. Tako da sam na kraju kad mi je pukao film izvukla tonu energije i pocela rasciscavati. Sredila sam Adinu garderobu i odvojila sam tonu svojih stvari koje mi ne mogu. Trebalo mi je vremena ali zanimljivo je kako dobijes novu motivaciju kad zavrsis sa nekim dosadnim/napornim zadatkom. Cak me toliko motivisalo da sam kupila marker masinicu koja, vjerujem, ce biti koristena.
Slijedeci projekat je rascistiti i urediti sobu za goste / biro i koristiti sobu za to za sta je i namijenjena a ne, kao sada, ostavku za stvari. Pocela sam traziti inspiraciju kako soba da izgleda i uvijek me fascinira kako ljudi dodju na ovako lijepe ideje…

August update of our portfolios / August azuriranje nasih portfolija
Usually during the summer the stock market gets calmer and the prices fall a little bit making it possible to buy some stocks for a cheaper price. However, this year it seams that nothing is like it usually is.
Still I couldn´t resist but to buy a couple of Investor and Axfood stocks, adding to approximately 75 kr dividends per year to Ada´s portfolio. This feels (is) like a small sum, but I plan to give her this portfolio in 18-20 years so this sum will hopefully increase each year because I plan to reinvest this money in new stocks.
For my portfolio I added 3 H&M, 8 Mycronic, 3 Axfood and 20 Sagax Pref adding some 96 kronor dividend per year. Looking at these sums you see it is not much but one should never underestimate the small savings. All the dividends I plan to reinvest so let´s see where this journey takes us… 
Obicno kad je ljeto dionice padnu i postaje mirnije na berzi, sto daje mogucnost da kupim par jeftiniji dionica. Medjutim ove godine se cinilo cak naprotiv. Iako tako, nisam mogla odoliti a da ne kupim par dionica od Investora i Axfood, sto dodaje otprilike 75 kr dividendi godisnje Adinom portfoliju.
Cini se malom sumom, ali planiram joj predati ove dionice za nekih 18-20 godina tako da se nadam da ce se do tad akumulirati sume. Planiram dividende da reinvestiram u dionice.
Za moj portfolio sam kupila 3 H&M, 8 Mycronic, 3 Axfood i 20 Sagax Pref koje ukupno dodaju 96 kr dividendi godisnje. Naravno kad gledam ove sume cine se malim ali ne treba nikad podcjeniti moc malih stednji. I ovdje isto planiram sve dividende da reinvestiram u dionice. Vidjecemo gdje nas vodi ovaj put…
Separation / Rastav
Today, was the first “separation” day for Ada. I left her in the kindergarten and had to pick her up a little bit later. She was quite fine for 1.5 hrs but after that she wanted to see mama 😛 Tomorrow is a new (longer) try 😀
I must say it is quite fascinating how she develops. How she copes with a new language, and how she goes to children and tries to communicate.
The most fascinating, I find, is the fabulous interest of learning new things, new language and she is never tired or lazy to do it. Definitely, something we grown ups could copy a little bit 😀
Prevod: Ne rastu samo djeca, i roditelji to rade. Koliko god mi gledali nasu djecu sta rade od svojih zivota, tako oni gledaju sta mi radimo nasim (zivotima)
Danas je bio prvi dan “rastavljanja” za Adu. Ostavila sam je u vrticu i otisla sam po nju poslije nekog vremena. Bila je ok nekih 1.5h ali nakon toga je poceo plac i zelja za mamom 😛 Sta ces, sutra novi pokusaj ide 😀
Zanimljivo je gledati kako napreduje. Kako se bori sa novim jezikom, kako prilazi djeci i probava komunicirati. Ali najfascinantnije, meni, je ta nevjerovatna zelja za novim znanjem. Nikad joj nije nesto mrsko ili da je preumorna za neko novo izucavanje. To je definitivno nesto sto mi “stariji” mozemo da preuzmemo od djece 😀

What do you love? / Sta volite?
A couple of years back I did one of the best things I have ever done for me. I went to a life coach. I felt quite lost and I had forgotten what I want and what I like at all. I felt caught like a squirrel in the wheel and life was just running away.
I’ll never forget when I was asked what my goals are and what I truly like and my brain just shut down. Nothing came up. I just felt empty.
I then got this exercise to do. Pretty simple…I thought. It took me over a month to fill it in.
Even years later I write down these things occasionally to remind myself of things i like, not to get stuck again.
Try it yourself!
Write down 50 things you love and do them as much as possible and you will become or at least stay happy.
A tip is to write it down in your cell phone and have a check from time to time. Good luck!
Jedna od boljih investicija u mom zivotu je bila da odem kod jednog life coacha. To je nesto poput terapeuta. Imala sam, prije par godina, fazu gdje sam zaboravila bila sta ja hocu u zivotu i uopste sta volim. Osjecala sam se kao hrcak u tocku bez ikakve perspektive dok zivot brzinski prolazi.
Nikad necu zaboraviti momenat kad mi je postavljeno pitanje bilo koji su mi ciljevi u zivotu i sta stvarno volim raditi. Meni se mozak bio samo iskljucio. Niceg se nisam sjetila. Maltene mi je sve bilo svejedno i osjecala sam se prazna.
Dobila sam jedan vrlo jednostavan zadatak…barem je tako djelovao…Trebalo mi je preko mjesec dana da ga zavrsim.
I dan danas sa vremena na vrijeme sjednem i zapisem ispocetka tu listu. Ucinite to i vi!
Napisite listu sa 50 stvari kojih volite.
Predlazem da listu upisete na mobitel da je sa vremena na vrijeme pogledate i da se podsjetite na stvari sto volite raditi i da ih cesce radite.
Sretno!
