Blog about work and babies

 Hey there! Time sure flies as I realized it's been a while since I wrote here last time which was in december ;) Oh well, after all the fluseason and darkseason here up north, I feel like I'm finally starting to feel more energetic. Spring is on its way! I started on a new job last october and I just that was more than 4 months ago :) This new job is totally different compared to my old job so there's been a lot of studying - after work as well but absolutely at work. All the programs and just the culture; the way people act at work and what approriate and what's not requires some learning. I've also taken courses and actually got my IPMA-C program management certification the other day. Very rewarding to see the results! So far I'm liking this job a lot and mostly I think it's because I don't know anything about it ;) No I mean, this learning new stuff -phase is great. Me like it a lot :) Other than that, we're still separated - my spouse and I tha

Hey everyone! This fall I've been super busy with my job, kids being sick a lot and jugling between two different homes (for the kids, that is). Right now I've been at my new job for a little over a month now so everything's still new and I keep learning new things on everyday basis. It's very challenging yet exciting but also very demanding as I work as a project manager in a new field I'm not familiar with. As for now, my youngest son is sick at the moment with fever and staying home with me. So far I thank Paw patrol, gingerbread cookies and a kid with great sleeping skills ;) I mean, he slept for 1,5 hours yesterday while I had a meeting so thumbs up he'll manage to do the same today too :) *This post contains ads.* Christmas and holiday break is coming How's everyone's xmas plans this year? I just talked to my husband this morning (yes, the one that officially lives in his own place ;)) about santa claus and whether we should have him over on christ

To new starts! Fall is finally here and I have so many exciting things going on in my life <3 What a difference a year makes - exactly a year ago I was in the middle of a divorce, trying to find a new home and the saddest ever, to put it in the shortest way :( But, as I always look to the future, I knew back then that things would get better in time and so they did. Here's a scoop on my life :) *Contains ads* New job I've been looking for a new job for a while now and been going to interviews a lot lately - for the past few months. I wasn't exactly sure, what I wanted to do and my still-current job was ok (not bad at all) so it was a tough choice to make. A week ago I made my decision and I'll start as a senior consultant in an IT-firm next month. Could not be more excited!! It is a bold move but hey, I am looking for new challenges and this one will definitely give me those :)  It wasn't about the payment, although that always has a role in my life, but mostly a

 Summer is finally here and it's been a hot start this year here in Finland! :) I am not complaining, just sweating a lot ;) I still have to work for another 2,5 weeks and then I'm off for five weeks, yay! Let's all hope the weather is gonna stay at least decent for that time :) I may have some changes in the work in august-september so this long summer vacation is very much needed and earned. *This post contains ads in links*. Summer vacation ideas listed As usual, our family vacation plans this summer are still open in the air - partly due to the pandemic (which is hopefully fading away) but mostly because I just don't have the time to book any trip. So what are the best summer vacation ideas with kids in the family? Just like last year, we're vacationing only here in Finland.  Here are some of my favorites listed: Naantalin kylpylä  - spa & hotel which is close to Moominworld  and a definite hit for young kids. Naantali city is so beautiful in the summer; old

 Hey everyone! Gosh, time goes by fast - it's been almost a month since my last blogpost. We travelled here in Finland this past month so I guess that always makes busy daily life even busier with planning the vacation and going to the actual vacation. With kids life is always busy but not complaining! :) That being said, here's a short look on the Sappee vacation. * In collaboration with Offerilla (this post contains ads)*. Sappee and Offerilla  With the pandemic going on, travelling is still very important to our family. Being stuck at home a lot as I still work remotely and not being able to see people a lot, it's so important to make sure we can arrange something fun for our family every now and then. That's why we decided to head to Sappee  for two nights which offers skiing hills and other outdoor stuff for especially families. It's about 2 hour drive from Helsinki which is just perfect for us since our youngest son naps and that gives him the perfect timing f

Hey everyone!  Spring is on its way and it's supposed to be +10 degrees here in Finland this week - and that's a lot after this long winter :) Hopefully all the snowing is behind us now because I'm so ready for spring! My kids are ready for spring as well because it's been a hell of a year for them so far as my kids have two homes. They live with me for the most of the time and two oldest stay at their dad's house for a couple of days per week. My youngest son is only two years young so he basically always stays with me and maybe once a month one night with his dad. I'm sure that will change too in a year or two but for now this is the best arrangement for us all.  How are kids feeling about their two different homes? Now that's gonna be a great question as it doesn't have a just one answer. It was super-hard at first back in september when my ex and I got us parents a rental apartment for starters for the first months before I actually and eventual
