Hey everyone! *this post contains an ad* Välipäivä ale @Lekmer / post-christmas sale @Lekmer Are you all done with eating turkey?! Ready for some post-christmas sales at  Lekmer aka välipäivä ale, as we say in Finland? :) I am! To be quite honest, this wasn't the best christmas ever to our family: our 10 month old baby has been sick for the past 2 weeks with on-off stomach flu :( and to make it worse, our oldest son, myself and daddy got it right before christmas! Not fun. So that means almost all of my christmas shopping fell into one day at a mall with a sick child - running around like a crazy kid myself :D kids got presents for sure but it wasn't the best christmas ever. So now I'm leaning on to post-christmas shopping online because we're not 100% okay yet. Baby got sick AGAIN last night so went to er again today. What a day! My tips on post-christmas sales I always opt for toys and clothes - toys that I can give my boys later when they turn 1, 6 and...

Howdy everyone! This post is mostly in finnish this time and contains an ad from  Freska homecleaning services. Heippa kaikki! Päivät lyhenee ja ilmat sen kuin kylmenee, pimeydestä puhumattakaan. Meille suomalaisille tämä kaamosaika tarkoittaa usein väsymystä ja ainakin itsellä totaali saamattomuutta. Sohva kutsuu ja nukkumaan mennään ajoissa :) Kotiäidin (ja isän) kuuluu kuitenkin pitää kodistaan huolta, ettei kaikenmaailman pöpöt pesiydy omaan huusholliin. * Tämä postaus sisältää mainoksen * Freskan kotisiivouspalvelu  Jos suursiivoukset ei jaksa innostaa ja mieluummin vietät aikaa perheesi kanssa (oikein!) niin mikset hankkisi  Freskalta  ammattitaitoista siivouspalvelua? Onhan se aika ihanaa, kun joku muu hoitaa siivouksen sillä aikaa, kun ulkoilet lasten kanssa, hoidat ruokaostokset tai käyt vaikka kampaajalla :) Siivous tilataan esimerkiksi kerran kuukaudessa tai useammin tapahtuvaksi jatkuvana tilauksena. Meillä toimii kerran kuukaudessa tapahtuva ...

Hey everyone! Time sure is flying and pregnancy week 23 is almost done :) Fall has arrived here in Finland and it's getting colder for sure.  Kids have already had their share of flu and other unwanted visitors from day care, and last night my younger son woke up at 2 am just to throw up :( It's always fun to clean during night but luckily poor little guy is fine and at day care today. I'm hoping I won't catch it :) I also had my 4D ultrasound this week at Femeda which is one of the only places in Helsinki where you can get your 3D/4D done. They have the best doctor I know to do this, Bruno Cacciatore, and he's so charming and obviously very intelligent to do his job. He was so nice when welcoming us to our appointment when he said 'Hello again!' We've had this 4D ultrasound with all of our babies so we just had to do it again. Why? Well, even though it's not NIPT, it's very accurate when it comes to 'just' an ultrasound and it s...

Good afternoon, everyone! Sun is shining here in Finland but at the same time it's really cold. -18 degrees this morning, brrr! I'm so glad I get to work from home every now and then :) And hey let's talk a little about work. I returned back to work in january to work as a project manager but only part-time which in my case means fridays are off. Kids are either at home with me or it's my time to go to the gym (the only time I get to go there during the week) or just run errands. I know, you can judge me: why the hell my kids are at day-care if I'm at home? Well, you see, mama needs her own time as well and my kids really enjoy the day-care. So the pros are: - I do have my own-time, "me-time" to take care of my self - kids can stay home with me if they want to (usually they don't!) or if they're sick, I won't miss a day at work - my house is always clean on fridays. Not too much on saturdays but hey, that's another story ;) - 4-da...
