I finally did it: bought my very first Bugaboo-stroller :) As a used one, of course and it's also an older model, the Frog. I got it as a tan coloured one with all the fun accessories such as wheeled board and leather covers for the handle and bumber bars. Like this one. I haven't used them a lot so far, just tried briefly but so far so good. It turned out that I wont need the double stroller that much anymore (baby doesn't like, carrier works so much better) so I sorta had to buy these. Yes, trying to convince myself and my husband :) I wont sell my doubles just quite yet because I'm sure we'll use them later while the baby grows older etc. but I'm just so happy I didn't buy any expensive doubles! Yes, as you can see you can't plan everything ahead. Honestly, it's so much easier to use the public transportation with a single stroller compared to double. I'm sure everyone agrees with that. And I love putting my baby in a carrier - he sleeps in i

Good afternoon, everyone! It was supposed to be a sunny day today, or a heatwave as they said..I'm still waiting for that. We're thinking about doing something special fun today since these last sunny days are almost gone, thanks to fall. But hey, what a great excuse to explore the internet and see what it has to offer me! ;) New strollers from eBay So I've talked about strollers for many months now (actually, that is all I've been talking about) and especially the Bugaboo ones. Everyone's - and especially my husband - getting tired of that topic but I'm not: I know, I still don't really need them but I want them so I can have them, right? So long story short, we've got a travel stroller ( Britax B-Agile, except we have the older model) which we use when we have only one child. Usually when the older one is at day care or when the baby's in a carrier/sling. Or when we're at a mall. I have nothing bad to say about this one but let's fa

Today's been such a beautiful and warm day so we've been outside all day. What a nice change compared to this past week with all the rain and the fact summer is over. Well, not quite :) We just walked to our closest mall called Sello, had lunch and then walked back - after we played at several different parks. L also got a new toy as we walked through a flea market (yay!) and he also got some other good, barely used toys. Days like this are the best - just hanging with my family :) Let's just hope this weather will last until the end of this month because long winter is ahead. Especially October and November are going to be sooo miserable..but let's not think about that yet. So my husband started at his new job this week and I was kinda worried how this week would go with two kids, on my own. Well it went so well and we had a good time. Parks, eating, naps..it's all about timing :) My husband and I also made a deal: If we lose enough weight until the end of Octobe

Hello! I have share my latest purchases from Lekmer : a fleece hoodie  (Boob äitiys- ja imetyshuppari, Flex Fleece) which you can use already when you're pregnant and also when nursing, and a nursing pillow from Rätt Start. I kept waiting and waiting to place my order since I always try to find things second-hand and therefore save a few euros. This time I decided it's better to buy them brand-new and it's been worth it: the fleece is so comfy and just perfect for outings with the toddler and the baby. While the toddler plays outside at the park, which is where we go all the time, I get to take care of the baby and nurse him - and my precious boobs wont get cold :) It's a win-win for everyone! And it has many pockets for keys, cell phone etc. so it really is versatile. Only thing that I dont like is that I didn't order it when I was pregnant!! So I totally recommend it and it's on sale for now so you'll save a few euros yourself. The nursing pillow I go

Good morning, everyone! Baby finally has a name and you'll find what it is on instagram  along with new pictures :) The christening party we held this saturday was beautiful. Food, atmosphere, people..just lovely and I'm happy we can finally call our baby boy with a real name :) My husband also starts work today so that's a big change for our family - we've all been here at our home 24/7 (ok, almost) this summer so it's gonna feel weird not have him here all the time. Although I'm happy for him - he got a job and that's whats important. Okay, time to go and take care of my babies since they're waking up. Enjoy your day!!

Good evening! What a relaxing weekend we've had: lots of playing outside with the kids (ok, just with the older one so far) and enjoying the last sunny days of summer so far. Let's hope next week and especially next weekend will still be nice so we can be outside as we have our baby's christening party on saturday. He'll finally have officially a name then! :) I also made it to the big supermarket yesterday with my toddler and got everything for the party. Baby stayed home with his daddy - first time for an hour and a half. So much easier to go get stuff with one child only. Next week will be spent cleaning, planning the party and preparing & baking everything. Lot of work but it'll be fun :) I'm gonna bake two cakes since some of our guests will need a gluten-free food so that'll be double for everything. I'm making this blueberry cake for those who have a gluten-free diet - sorry, this recipe is only in Finnish. Freely translated it means "

Good morning!! I just can't believe how fast this summer has gone by and it's already august! My husband starts at his new job in less than two weeks (he found a job, yay!) and we still haven't had our summer vacation here in Finland I talked about. It just seems too much right now and even going to a shopping mall is too much with toddler running around the place and baby wanting to eat every 30 mins..we'll see now. Although we can't complain..our relatives came for a visit and they have 4 sons aged 1-8. That is something and they're even expecting one more! I call that brave ;) Our family life is getting back to normal: the toddler sleeps all night long and the jealousy towards the baby is slowly going away. And baby? Well, he's a sleeper so we got lucky this time: sometimes he even sleeps 4-5 hours in a row and that's awesome!! I get to sleep, love it. Now that schools are starting again, it's the time of the year you need to buy all new back
