New beginnings

Fall is here and new beginnings hit our family big time: year-long battle with continuing our marriage or not has come to an end, and divorce is on the way. It's sad, obviously with three kids in the family, but we as parents are doing the best we can to be the best parents we can be. That's life. 
So what we're going through right now, is putting our house on the market and seeing multiple realtors - it's hard work!! Good thing is that I think we agreed on the one we're selecting and that's obviously a relief. Not only is our divorce in process,  there's so much paperwork that needs to be done that I have to admit there have been a few nightless nights..Right now I'm glad we're agreeing and finally seeing things eye-to-eye which makes things a bit easier. We're getting along pretty well since there are no fights anymore (for now) and the atmosphere at home is better. We've also decided we're gonna move close to one another because of the kids so they can see both parents 50-50% of time. I hate so see my kids miss mommy or daddy so we've come to this solution, and it feels right. At least for now since there's no third person in the picture so we'll see how (ugly) things turn by then. A little shocker, right?!

New furniture at Finnish Design Shop

If there's one thing I do when I'm stressed or just when ever is shopping. And this time I'm really gonna need to do it because half of our stuff is either gonna go to soon-to-ex's home and the other half we're gonna sell, and therefore start from the very beginning. I'm excited that I'll be able to decorate my new home the way I want to decorate it and Finnish Design Shop has the coolest, timeless and classy pieces of furniture I know. I love the scandinavian style and that's how I wanna have my home look like. Another great store to check out is Rum21 if you like scandinavian style but the have much more. And they have an inspiration site if you're stuck on what to pick to your home. Very handy especially for me since I'm not a stylist and I always need help on finding the right stuff. So that's my (retail)therapy and the number one way to get through this tough time. 


So that's how we roll this fall :) Lot's of new things to come, packing, moving, dealing with heartbreak, crying, getting through things, taking care of our kids - and finally moving. My youngest son and I will temporarily move to an apartment hotel near by for almost two months - just to make sure things wont get too heated here at home because of the kids. This apartment is so close by that I get to see my kids in the morning and pick them up from pre-k and day care in the afternoon. I'm hoping our house issues (selling this one and buying new ones for me and my soon-to-be-ex) will be solved by november. Crazy how things can go but hey - this is life! :) All the best for you, take care and I will as well :)

Down duvets on sale at Hemtex!

 Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted anything but so much has happened: I switched to a new job, spent summer with my kids, got divorced and catch covid-19. Yes, things happen mixing good and bad things but that's how life works. Can't always choose what happens next! I've been so good at dodging the covid bullet but this time I could not and it actually me and my boys. I'm fortunately fully vaccinated so I'm good but the boys haven't but they're still doing ok and have luckily only mild symptoms. I ran fever for few days, my throat hurts and I have a semi-runny nose - but that's it. We're staying in the house for now so no super markets, gym, day care or school, and not really meeting any people. I'm working remotely from home and kids are relatively calm due to the illness. And since I've had more time at home and going through all the online stores finding the perfect down duvet on sale, I did find one at Hemtex .

Hey everyone! Summer is coming, believe or not, and many of you may already have plans for your summer vacation. Everyone travelling with kids know that you always have so much stuff with you: all the luggage, travel stroller (or two) and all those carry on bags - that's a lot with crazy, running away kids :) My opinion these days is that if you have even just one idea that can save your nerves (and muscles), take it :D I know, I've talked about these so many times so why not this time too? Lekmer has all their Carena Kobbe travel strollers on sale which are similar to Babyzen yoyo travel stroller what comes to their size but are much cheaper compared to yoyo. We're not sure what we're doing this summer since we go back and forth with our summer plans. We sorta wanna go some where warm (Bulgaria, Greece etc.) but then again we like Estonia so much that we're talking about going there with our car and my parents might even come with us. Either way, we just don

Mountain buggy duet sisarusrattaat alessa!

This post is only in finnish this time :) Mukavaa sunnuntaita kaikille! "Tämä postaus on poikkeuksellisesti vain suomeksi ja se sisältää mainoslinkkejä. Mainoslinkki on boldattu  ja vievät tällä kertaa Jollyroomin sivuille." Ulkona tulee räntää ainakin espoon suunnalla ja meidän pojat jo kovasti odottaa talvea, lunta ja sitä myöten tietenkin joulua :) Itse aloin pohtia, miten pärjään talven matkarattailla, jotka nyt olleet etenkin autoillessa eniten käytössä koska niihin saa britax turvakaukalon kiinni. Näppärää, mutta edelleen se lumi: meillä siis Britax b-agilen matkarattaat ja noilla renkailla ei kyllä yhtään huvita tarpoa eteenpäin lumessa. Keskimmäistä varten niissä on seisomalauta, joka olikin kesällä käytössä mutta jotenkin nyt säiden kylmettyä 3v tahtoo istuimen. Mountain buggy duet tarjouksessa 499,90€ Sen takia olen taas pohtinut tuplaratasasiaa suuntaan ja toiseen, ja melkein jo päädyin ostamaan käytetyt Mountain buggy duet v3 Sisarusrattaat hintaan 350€.
