Blog about work and babies

Good afternoon! As usual, our saturday started off early because L wakes up at 6 am on the weekends. And it's kinda funny because he wont get up at 7 am during the week but yes, weekends are the ones when he's full of energy :) So my husband went to the gym in the morning and L and I went out to play and for a walk. We live next to a football field and that's a great place to go for a walk/run with a little one: no cars close to us. It's so much fun to actually being able to go somewhere close with him without the strollers because he can actually walk for quite some time these days. My little guy is growing up, yikes!! Anyway, it was just enough for me because now I've hit the time in this pregnancy where I just can't walk too far and not too fast either: I have on and off contractions, and sometimes sort of painfull ones. Luckily they wont last for too long but I just keep thinking, this is gonna be a long pregnancy :) After some fresh air and outing, I we...

Hi everyone! It's finally friday, yay! I worked at my home office today because I had some writing to do which required some major focusing on - and I'm done :) We also found out that we wont be granted for a new loan, because of my husband's work situation, so that's it for now :( I'm not that surprised but hopefully things will get better soon and we'll be able to move - we desperately need a bigger place! I have to say I'm a bit disappointed since I was really looking forward going to that open-house I wrote about yesterday. Anyway, that's life. Shopping So in the meantime, lets focus on some shopping with great offers. That usually makes me feel better :) It's day three at Stockmann and Hullut päivät -shopping spree and lot's of good stuff for great price. Also another one is Offerilla and their offers. I just received my daily letter from them and here's one I found interesting: a makeover for your hair here in Helsinki. You can u...

Hullut päivät It's day 2 of Hullut päivät -shopping at Stockmann . Sports section, and especially shoes are the ones I keep looking at - spring is finally here so I do need a new pair of walking shoes. Here are the specials for today on children's section and remember - you can always buy these online if you're not into going to the store or just can't make it there. Just like me - I just don't have the time to actually go there so all my shopping happens online this year. Maybe saturday I'll actually get there and definitely all By myself: Hullut päivät is NOT for kids :) Going to an open-house tomorrow I was gonna go there tomorrow but we are going to an open house to see a potential new apartment. We're still in the process of thinking where to move, and also money's a factor. Unfortunately it'll always be :) But I have a feeling we're gonna stay in the city: we're just not fans of rush hour and instead of getting a big (lot bigg...

They're finally here - Hullut päivät shopping spree from today until sunday, the 10th of April!! This is one of the things I keep waiting for every spring and fall ( Stockmann has it twice a year). All kinds of good things to buy, online or in store in many different cities in Finland, and the best thing is the atmosphere. People really seem to be in great spirits, at least most of them :) I know some shoppers turn into crazy ones (literally) when looking for something they really need (want, that is). My quilty pleasure are all the goodies, clothes for children  and for women, of course. One year we bought a new fridge and it was in really competitive price so check out the home section. They also have these special offers for every night of the week (until sunday, that is) and here's a link for tonight's special. In previous years they used to have a good selection of maternity clothes and strollers too, but I guess they didn't sell that well so they stopped sel...
