Heippa kaikki! *tämä postaus on suomeksi ja sisältää mainoksen / this post is in finnish only and contains an ad* Mikäli viikonlopuista puuttuu ohjelmaa, niin  Woltti-trampoliinipuistoon  kannattaa suunnata - etenkin pikkuvintiöiden kanssa :) meillä yritetään ulkoilla joka päivä ainakin tunnin verran, mutta etenkin ilmojen kylmettyä tai sateen iskiessä sisäleikkipaikat nostaa suosiotaan. Tuossa puistossa näyttäisi mainoksen perusteella riittävän tekemistä, joten tämä hyvä vaihtoehto jo koetuille hoplopeille :) Halloween on siis taas täällä ja meidän kotona vilahti yksi jos useampi Batman :) Rooliasut tehtiin uffista 2e ostetusta mustasta verhokankaasta, josta tehtiin viitat. Maskit tein leikkaamalla kartongista batmanin muotoiset palat ja kuminauhaa taakse, niin pysyi päässä hyvin. Samoin vyön tein keltaisesta ja mustasta kartongista. Yhden setin hinnaksi tuli noin 1e :) muutoin mustat housut, sukat ja paita päälle, ja batman on syntynyt ;) Miten teillä vietetään Hallow...

Aurinkoiset terveiset Kreikasta! * This blogpost is in Finnish because it contains an ad that applies only in Helsinki, Finland * Sillä aikaa kun meidän perhe viettää ansaittua ja kovin odotettua syyslomaa Kreikassa, Rodoksella niin katse kääntyy jo kotiinpaluuseen ja syyslomaan. Tai miksei ihan muuten vaan lasten kanssa viikonlopun viettoon, jos ei halua kärvistellä koko sateista syksyä hiekkalaatikon reunalla ;) jep, meikä ei siitä kauheesti innostu mutta kolmen pojan äitinä tekemistä pitää olla ja koska hop lopit on jo nähty (ja nähdään syksyn mittaan uudelleen), on hyvä että temppu-tekemisiin on uusi tuttavuus. Nimittäin  Woltti  - Trampoliinipuisto Helsingissä Lauttasaaren metroaseman vieressä, josta löytyy huikeita trampoliineja ja muuta kivaa :) Linkin takaa löytyy kiva tarjous, jolla liput saa kahdelle 12€ - ei paha. Meidän pojat tykkää trampoliineista ja me aikuiset tykätään, koska jonnekin se extra-energiaon vaan hukattava :D Etenkin nyt, kun kunnon syyssateet isk...

Good morning!! I just can't believe how fast this summer has gone by and it's already august! My husband starts at his new job in less than two weeks (he found a job, yay!) and we still haven't had our summer vacation here in Finland I talked about. It just seems too much right now and even going to a shopping mall is too much with toddler running around the place and baby wanting to eat every 30 mins..we'll see now. Although we can't complain..our relatives came for a visit and they have 4 sons aged 1-8. That is something and they're even expecting one more! I call that brave ;) Our family life is getting back to normal: the toddler sleeps all night long and the jealousy towards the baby is slowly going away. And baby? Well, he's a sleeper so we got lucky this time: sometimes he even sleeps 4-5 hours in a row and that's awesome!! I get to sleep, love it. Now that schools are starting again, it's the time of the year you need to buy all new back...

Hello! Offerilla is the "new Groupon/Citydeal" which I personally used a lot to get great offers on local deals such as beauty, hair-cuts, restaurants, housekeeping, cars, other services..you name it. This one is new and works only in Finland, though, but for those interested in finding great deals, check it out! Through this service you can buy gift certificates in an exceptionally low price, as the offer is usually -50% of the normal price. I used it a lot some time ago (when Groupon still existed) on hair-cuts and restaurants, and it was a great way to explore new services. How about yoga  for 19€ or middle-eastern  (food) menu for two for only 34,90€?  These are Helsinki/Espoo based services but they do have services in other cities in Finland too (Turku, Tampere for example). Have a great evening!

Hello everyone and thanks for joining my blog! I'm a 37 years old working mother of almost two living a hectic life in Helsinki, Finland. Almost two means I'm expecting our second son who's due in July and our older one is a boy as well. So very exciting times :) So why am I here, blogging about my life? Well, I am interested in basically all the baby-related gear there is and my blog will mostly be about that. What's actually useful, where you can get it and is it worth buying it all new or do I prefer buying used ones. These days it doesn't matter we you live - Finland or some other country  - because you buy (almost) everything online. That's one of the reasons I decided to write my blog in english instead of my native finnish so this could be helpful for everyone. I also used to live in the US some years ago, so that also made the decision about the choice of language easier. Besides baby-related gear, I'm interested in health-related issues - especi...
