Happy sunday! Can you believe next week will be december and therefore x-mas is just around the corner!! Yikes!! Slippers for babies and toddlers In case you need to buy x-mas gifts for you little ones and want something fun but wearable, I've got the solution for you: Pandafeet online store. They have the cutest slippers for babies and little kids, made of real leather and a good selection to choose from. I may have to order a pair for my toddler so he can wear them at day care. They deliver them fast but unfortunately (I think) they only ship in Finland. But, of course, you can always ask if they deliver these to your country :) Babygear Another fun, but not known for everyone, is an online store called Sannas . I actually found it by an "accident", meaning I was googling to find slings and babycarriers, and Sannas poppep up. I like these smaller businesses and like to advertise them so people will find them more easily. Anyway, they have a small selection o

Hey everyone! Weekend is just around the corner and Black friday sales are here! I already did mine today (see the pic on my instagram ) at Cubus and bought a scarf and a hat for .95€ each. Crazy!! Here are some Black friday links to you: Ellos  has all the great stuff including home, clothing. shoes and everything else so check it out! Lekmer  has toys and all the baby stuff you need, NA-KD  for fashion and clothing and Boozt  for clothing and shoes. Today I had quite the adventure with my youngest son as we travelled to the other side of Espoo, which is the town where we live in Finland. I bought an Ergo carrier as second hand and this lady sent it to a different place where I had to pick it up. Usually I pick them at a local store just a few minutes away from my home but today I travelled for an hour one way, thanks to that great public transportation we have here in Espoo ;) Actually, to be honest, it was kinda fun to go somewhere I don't usually go and in a way get out o

Good sunday, everyone! I can't believe we're almost one month away from christmas and there's absolutely no snow left! Last weekend we made a snowguy (lumiukko, that is in finnish ;)) and this weekend..looking outside as it's raining. Crazy weather. Anyway, I promised on my latest instagram  post that I'd write about my latest purchase (the bugaboo wheeled board, love it!) versus Bumbrider sit  wheel board which I had and worked just fine on my Bugaboo donkey duo..but I sold it. Why? Here's my top 5 - don't worry, it's not a long list :) Bugaboo comfort wheel board + when not in use, you can just push it up - even with the seat on - no string needed (compared to their older version where you needed a string to keep it up) + ..and when in use, you can just simply pull it back down. This seems like a no big deal -type of thing but when you're in a hurry, see the bus coming and just need to get everything ready for the bus, it's those

Hey everyone! It rains in Finland and it's miserable to be outside (which is why I'm not there :)) so it's perfect time to start thinking about christmas and presents, of course. Ellos   has a discount code 345446 on the housing products, such as indoor lightning, home textiles, wall papers etc. Shipping fee is added to the total. Go see if you find something good - it's valid until November 22, 2016 so hurry up! I always keep looking at those bright pictures on my instagram   - you know the ones where people have awesome bedrooms or livingrooms just with the right colours and lightning. Especially now that it's so dark outside, good lightning is important. Like this one . Anyway, it's time to go again since my toddler is at the daycare from 8-12 everyday so my own time is very limited these days :) Baby sleeps right now and he started eating solids so it's time for his lunch very soon before we head out. Don't get me wrong, I dont miss my own time t

Today we're going to have an early father's day celebration at Fågeli which is a restaurant near my house. Sorry, they don't have a website or I just didn't find it but found the above link on the tripadvisor. Anyway, it's a restaurant they just opened this past summer and even though it's super-close to my house (just cross the road), we haven't been there yet. Maybe it's too close ;) So our little family and my husband's family - let's hope it's a good place. In Finland we celebrate father's in November, in case that's confusing :) Yesterday I was all day with my kids, starting with this so called Perhekahvila ("family coffee") in which families in the area come to, and where kids can play, do crafts, sing songs and adults can chat and have coffee & cookies :) It's a great opportunity to meet other families in this area. My parents came here to help me after that because my husband had a "boys night out&quo

Hey everyone! What a week, election and the result - wow! :) That's not keeping me awake at night, though, but my littlest guy is; he learner how to scream last night at around 3 am and I've been up since that. Tired momma today!! Anyway, what I was thinking I should write really quickly is that Bugaboo has definitely found a way of selling all kinds of accessories that go so well with the stroller. Bags, leather grips for your handlebar, comfort wheel..which is the one I need. Like said before, I just bought my Bugaboo Donkey Duo  double stroller a while ago and I'm very happy that I bought them. I know, my toddler is almost 3 years old (ok, in march so not yet) and he's slowly starting to walk short distances (to park and almost to the day care this morning, yay!) Only time he really needs it is when he sleeps in it and that's gonna be a daily thing since he changes his day care schedule next week from 4 day week/all day to a 5 day week/only 4 hours everyday.

Good morning! So the election day is finally here! Very exciting, at least for all my american friends over there. So who's it gonna be?! Soon we'll find out. Really nothing new here expect that I'm getting mad at this finnish weather. Just too much snow!! I had to shovel my way back to my house and did some shoveling in the parking lot as well - for the sake of the neighbors so they can actually park their cars in the lot in the evening or whenever. That's actually great exercise if you ask me and there's always that other side of the coin in everything :) If you wanna see how much snow we have since it snowed all night, just take a look at my  instagram . See, I'm not making this up ;) But still for some reason I keep looking at trips to somewhere warm (and cheap, I'm on a budget now remember). Just for a week. We had so much fun last december when we travelled to Tenerife . It's so much easier to go out in a sunny and warm place with the kids - yo

Hello everyone! How has this started for every one else? Mine started with snow and lot more snow expected so yay, fun :) I mean, not really although everything looks much nicer with snow on the ground but I gotta say this weather makes everything harder. Ok I only use public transportation but I feel sorry for my husband who has to drive his car to go to work. Oh well, at least it's not raining :) Sorry for all that whining - life is still excellent with my family and I love being a stay at home mom. My final exam (in psychology) was last week and I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get a decent degree in it. And then I'm done with school for a while, yay! Has everyone already started planning on Christmas? I did, and guess what? We're inviting our whole extended family to spend it with us! So that means lots of planning and eventually lots of cooking to do :) love it! I'll write more about it later and now baby-duty calling! Go see my latest pictures on my inst

I'm one those lazy human beings who needs make up and other cosmetics (hello, I'm up all night with my baby!) but is just way too lazy to use them. So when I buy them, I only use them for such a short time and then I tend to forget and leave them in the bathroom cabinet. My solution for this problem? LivBox . You can order it for many different time periods and cancel it anytime you want. 1 month order costs you 16,90€. What you get is a box of 4-6 trial-sized or samples of cosmetics. This works only in Finland, though, or at least for now this is how it works. So try it or this is a great christmas present idea as well!
