Blog about work and babies

Hey y'all! As the title reveals, I've been - once again - on a hunt for the perfect double-stroller. I know, I've been blogging about it for ages and switched and then went back and forth...several times. Anyway, long story short, my favorite of them all is Easywalker duo . I've tried Bugaboo donkey duo , Mountain buggy duet , and many different versions/models of Phil & Teds . These all are great ones but my criteria why Easywalker won this battle are: - Kids sit next to each other (that rules out P&T models) - it's narrow enough to fit main doors (about 75 cm wide, 100 cm long) - it has big tires (this rules out Mountain Buggy duet) - it costs from 100-300€ as second hand (this rules out Bugaboo donkey duo, for an obvious reason) - it's roomy for even a bigger kid - my now 3,5 year old didn't fit in a Bugaboo donkey duo And that is all! What really is important to me is that my kids fit in the stroller, is easy to push (has an adjustable ha...

Hello there! I know, it's been a while since I wrote last time but we've been really sick this past month with flu, stomach flu and then I hurt my back big time a week ago. So glad this month is almost over - time to move on to spring!! And it's definitely here with almost all the snow gone and sunny almost daily and also it's getting warmer. Next week we're going back to 8-12 routine with my toddler at his daycare. This 3 days a week just didn't work at all. He tends to forget his daycare and it's been so hard to take him there those days and he doesn't like to be there for that long everyday. I'm glad this daycare is so flexible that they would go back to this. Spring also means new clothes and shoes, at least for us. I was so sure all of our shoes from last season would fit (to our toddler) but I was completely wrong! So this means shopping, and Lekmer has a new campaign until april 4, 2017 on shoes so check it out if need new ones! They usua...

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...

Good afternoon, everyone! It was supposed to be a sunny day today, or a heatwave as they said..I'm still waiting for that. We're thinking about doing something special fun today since these last sunny days are almost gone, thanks to fall. But hey, what a great excuse to explore the internet and see what it has to offer me! ;) New strollers from eBay So I've talked about strollers for many months now (actually, that is all I've been talking about) and especially the Bugaboo ones. Everyone's - and especially my husband - getting tired of that topic but I'm not: I know, I still don't really need them but I want them so I can have them, right? So long story short, we've got a travel stroller ( Britax B-Agile, except we have the older model) which we use when we have only one child. Usually when the older one is at day care or when the baby's in a carrier/sling. Or when we're at a mall. I have nothing bad to say about this one but let's fa...

Good morning! Baby's due date is here - and he's almost 4 weeks old :) Things are going well, although little L got really sick on wednesday nite and we had a few rough nites because of that. I'm fine with my 3 hour sleep but when I don't get that, I'm exhausted. I mean, baby sleeps 3 hrs in a row which is just fine, then eats and sleeps again but big brother kept waking up every hour. He had ear infection (again) and high fewer. He seems better today so let's keep our fingers crossed. He hasn't eaten anything for days but finally had breakfast this morning so it looks promising. I hate when my babies are sick :( Baby gear Yes, my favorite topic :) Here's a picture of my stroller, Easywalker Duo, which I bought as a used one, and I just love them :) Very sturdy, yet not too heavy to push even with two kids, the baby basket is big enough and at least my baby sleeps there almost too well. And all that for 220€ so I can't complain! My bag hangs in...

Good morning, everyone! What a beautiful morning it is! It's nice and sunny here in Helsinki - can't believe this is the last week we'll live in this house. We're moving a week from tomorrow, how exciting! My maternity leave also just started and now I'm going on week 35 on my pregnancy. This week I'll have a doctor's appointment - last one before labor, yikes!! It all seems more and more real now, and it's very exciting (and scary, too, in someway) to realize our baby can be here any time now. I'm ready - as long as our moving process is near the end after next week ;) Easywalker Duo Now I have time to think (again) about the stroller. Can't decide what to do: I'm leaning towards the double stroller, maybe a Mountain Buggy Duet, but that's still a bit too expensive for me since I'm not sure how long I'd be using it. 700€ for a used one is a bit on the expensive side if you ask me, and that's what they've been asking...
