New job and getting ready for christmas

Hey everyone!

This fall I've been super busy with my job, kids being sick a lot and jugling between two different homes (for the kids, that is). Right now I've been at my new job for a little over a month now so everything's still new and I keep learning new things on everyday basis. It's very challenging yet exciting but also very demanding as I work as a project manager in a new field I'm not familiar with. As for now, my youngest son is sick at the moment with fever and staying home with me. So far I thank Paw patrol, gingerbread cookies and a kid with great sleeping skills ;) I mean, he slept for 1,5 hours yesterday while I had a meeting so thumbs up he'll manage to do the same today too :)

Christmas and holiday break is coming

How's everyone's xmas plans this year? I just talked to my husband this morning (yes, the one that officially lives in his own place ;)) about santa claus and whether we should have him over on christmas. Well, the reality is that santa wont make it here this year either because of the pandemic still going on too strong :( And to be honest, at least one of our kids will be sick then - I hate to be pessimistic but that's the reality. 
What I'm looking forward is the week right after christmas: I have a one week of unpaid vacation and we're heading to Anttolanhovi through Offerilla (*Ad*). We're staying at a hillside villa for three days and this package we bought through Offerilla contains also an access to the pool area, not to mention to all the outdoor activities there are. This package for a family of ours (five persons) for three days is around 350€ so very inexpensive :) We sorta had to find something to do because school's out for over two weeks and day care for at least a week and a half and travelling outside of Finland is out of question at the moment - at least for our family due to the pandemic. Besides, prices are crazy for our family if we wanted to fly somewhere warm! So I'm really looking forward to this vacation and some quality family time.

It's been crazy cold here in Finland for the past week but luckily it's supposed to warm a bit this weekend. It might even snow and that would be awesome so we can actually do stuff outdoors. 

Well I better go and get back to work and back to sick kid. Luckily he likes cartoons a lot so that gives me time to work :) Have a great week!

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€.
