16. Letting a 3 year old renovate our cabin - GOOD parenting or a BAD move!?

This week we're chatting about our Swedish cabin renovations - they've begun! We've started by renovation our kids bedroom, and we've been letting our kids join in on the action. Is it a bad move to let your 3 and 5 year old loose with a bucket of wallpaper glue, or is it good parenting? We're on the fence. We also discuss some of the after effects of cancer, and how it still feels like we're very much still recovering from cancer. --- Find us here: 🏠 Website: www.malinandtom.com [http://www.malinandtom.com/] ✉️ Contact - hello@malinandtom.com [hello@malinandtom.com] 🎬 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/ [https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/] 📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/ [https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

14. MIDNIGHT AMBULANCE PICKUP and the start of a terrifying month

The start of October marks a the beginning of an oddly scary month for us. Malin was diagnosed with an aggressive colon cancer in October 2022, one year later in October 2023 Malin was admitted to the hospital for over a week with a terrible infection where she was also given a medicine she was HUGELY allergic to in a major hospital mishap. On the flipside, we also moved in to our van in October last year, starting our journey of full time van life with kids! So a very ‘up and down’ month for us, we’re hoping for an October without any drama this year, thank you very much. We also chat about the events of last week where Malin was once again taken in to the hospital, being picked up in an ambulance in the middle of the night with acute abdominal pain. You get both barrels with this podcast - the extreme positive and the extreme negative… That’s Life on a Stick, baby! --- Find us here: 🏠 Website: www.malinandtom.com [http://www.malinandtom.com/] ✉️ Contact - hello@malinandtom.com [hello@malinandtom.com] 🎬 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/ [https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/] 📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/ [https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

13. A BRIT moving to SWEDEN: Best decision or a huge mistake?

This week we’re discussing some massive culture clashes between Sweden and the UK! As a British person, moving to Sweden was a huge decision, but 9 years later we haven’t looked back.  Some of the subjects in this episode include ‘how is the parental leave in Sweden?’, and we explore other questions such as ‘is Sweden the BEST place to raise kids?’ We also chat about (read: poke fun at) the Swedish language, how it was to actually move to Sweden from the UK, some of the big cultural differences, pub culture in Sweden vs UK and a lot more! We also introduce a BRAND NEW one-off segment, where Malin's in the hot seat as she quizzes down on the literalness of the Swedish language! --- Find us here: 🏠 Website: www.malinandtom.com ✉️ Contact - hello@malinandtom.com 🎬 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/ 📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

12. "Your SON looks like a GIRL" (and other mean words of encouragement)

We get comments like this ALL THE TIME! It's odd, but it's a part of choosing to publicise parts of your life on the internet. We also chat about some extremely mean comments that Malin got during her battle with cancer, including someone telling her to 'buy a coffin'. This week, we also chat about some HUGE hospital mistakes made during Malin’s journey towards being free from colon cancer, our future VANLIFE plans including Portugal and beyond, and nerves and anxieties around Malin's upcoming cancer scans. We're also soon celebrating ONE WHOLE YEAR of living in our van! --- Find us here: 🏠 Website: www.malinandtom.com [http://www.malinandtom.com/] ✉️ Contact - hello@malinandtom.com [hello@malinandtom.com] 🎬 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/ [https://www.youtube.com/@malinandtom/] 📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/ [https://www.instagram.com/malinandtom/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
