New week filled with work, flu and snow

Monday and new week is here, and this week it's filled with work, flu and snow. I returned to work last monday after vacationing and spending almost 2 weeks with the family. January definitely is here and strong with upcoming work projects but kids being sick at the same time - it happens everytime! I'm so lucky to have a participating father for my three kids so we can always arrange the time for our kids but also for ourselves depending on our work schedule. This week is super busy for me and I just received a call from my kids daycare that my youngest is sick with flu. And that means workday is over for me and my youngest needs to be taken to the doctor but it also means a covid-test is needed. Ouch! 

Work, flu and snow

My work is very flexible and I'm very lucky about that. Meaning I work from home (just like everyone else at the moment due to the covid-situation) and can arrange my days if emergency situations like this appear. So first I'll take my kid to see a private doctor and get him covid-tested. It takes about 24 hours to get the testresults and I'm almost 100% sure he doesn't have it but as it is required to do it, I'll take him there. My boys just started at their new daycare so I'm sure this little flu is just about that - learning new people (teachers and friends) and besides it's been the coldest week here in Finland. It was -22 degrees this past weekend and boy was it cold! We were troopers and went outside for a little outing with all the clothes on we could ever find. It actually didn't feel all that cold but we were so tired after our outing that we all took a nap ;) And I'm definitely not whining about the weather because I really love our changing weather and the snow is really cool, kids and adults like it. There's so much more to do outdoors with the snow, such as sliding down the hill or cross-country skiing, or just simply climb up the snowhills. Oh and of course making a snow guy is fun :) 
Right now I'm just hoping I won't catch the flu or I'm outta the game for a while. I did take the flu-shot before christmas so I have my hopes up I wont catch it. Mommy needs to be able to take care of the family, kids (and daddy ;)) can feel free and rest.

That being said, I need to leave and go pick up my kid. Take care, stay safe & healthy, everyone!

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€.
