Blog about work and babies

Hello everyone! What a beautiful day it is - and it's almost October! It is time to say goodbye to everyone whose been reading my blog and wrap things up, as they say :) So this blog was all about baby gear with my family's ups and downs, and from now on I will continue blogging (in Finnish, at least for now) but the topic has changed a lot. I've decided I wanna at least try something that I've been wanting to do (and try, for sure) for a very long time: try to get accepted to med-school. To be specific, to study dentistry  in Helsinki. Why? Well, it's academic but you also have to do something with your hands so it's perfect. I know, it's one hell of a ride, as one might say, I'll give a try. Maybe not this spring but spring 2018 I'll give it a real go!! Well see. At least I'll challenge myself and that's something. Studying at the age of 40 - yes, we will see :) Thank you everyone for reading my blog and I wish you all the best!!

Hello! What a beautiful fall it's been so far - sunny and warm almost every day for the past week or so! Love it! Only thing that I'm not loving is that my little baby has gotten sick: he has a flu and also something wrong with his little tummy. Constipation, that is and we actually went to a doctor yesterday and found a really good pediatrician. You know, the one that is so empathetic, listens to you like there's no one else in the world and tries to find the best cure for you child. Luckily, I think we found a way together to make baby feel better (and poop, too) so it's already getting better. But I have to say I always get to scared when something happens to my children - that's what parents do: always worrying. I also started something that's really close to my heart and wanting to do that ever since my youngest son was born. That is I began to donate my breast milk since I have lots of it and I wanna help newborns who really needs it (and their mommy c

Good evening! What an awesome sunday it's been: it was so warm I could actually wear my t-shirt and I was still sweating! And it's already september. Love this weather!!  So baby and I went for a little stroll and we found an outside flea market not too far from home and of course I did find something for the boys. I had my new (used) Bugaboo Frog-stroller with me and I actually put the baby in it but, as always, he didn't like the stroller. Yep, he's a carrier/sling -kinda baby that's how we really strolled ;) He just doesn't like to be put in the stroller so (suprisingly) my both double stroller (Easywalker) and my Bugaboo are on sale :D I know.. And it's funny because our toddler, you know my oldest son just loved sleeping in the stroller when he was a baby and he didn't like the carrier/sling at all. Talk about differences! And don't worry, I still have a travell stroller so I wont be totally stroller-less. Anyway, I started thinking about

It's a new week again and first full (4-day) week with daycare for L. He really likes the place and it's easy to leave him there every morning: He just says "bye mom" and goes playing with other kids :D only thing is that he can't sleep there at nap time so he's really really tired in the afternoon when I go and pick him up. Oh well, I'm sure it gets better soon. Today they even have music play school (muskari in Finnish) and it's included in the price! As a parent I'm very happy with this daycare center. As for being a stay at home -mom and breastfeeding my other son and spending a lot of time in the couch, I realized I can have some entertainment at the same time :) so I ordered Netflix for a one month trial. How fun and easy, I got to say - and with all those tv-shows to choose from guess which one I chose? Friends!! A classic and perfect for today with a not-so-great night with the baby. So today's really a day off and tomorrow l'll do

Happy friday, everyone! Today me and both kids (L is at home on fridays) went to our local church's gathering, called perhekahvila (ie. kids play, we sing songs, have coffee and meet other parents from our neighborhood). I think it's an excellent idea to have something like this for those parents who stay at home and take care of the kids and therefore don't usually get to meet other parents in the same situation. Kids have fun playing and adults get to have coffee and cookies - awesome!! At least for us it's almost mandatory to attend it every week because my toddler really needs to meet other kids and just have some action. Then when we got home and had lunch, they both fell asleep so mommy could write her blog :) Surprisingly now that I really got into this, they're both waking up :) So anyway, got to go now and you all have a great weekend! :)

Where do these weeks disappear?! It seems it's always been a while since I've posted something. Anyway, here I am again and it's been a good week so far. L started at his new daycare center and so far so good. I mean it really seem like a great place for him for all their activities and what they teach to these children. Only 13 children total at this place which is great. Maybe we won't get all those bugs this fall as we did last spring. He's attending the daycare for four days each week so we have enough time to hang out just the 3 or 4 of us. We're currently going through the process of potty training, in co-operation with the daycare center so let's hope it works! Too many diapers in this household ;) If you're interested, I post new pictures every now and then on my instagram. You'll find me there as heiska78. That's all for now. Have a great week everyone! :)
