Blog about work and babies

Hey everyone! Tomorrow we celebrate juhannus aka midsummwe here in the nordic countries. That means most people will go spend it at their cottages or usually somewhere other than the city. Well, we're gonna be an exception this year since we're staying home :) the city will literally be empty and dead (especially Helsinki) so that means we're headed to an amusement park called Linnanmäki. Short lines, no waiting - perhaps? And maybe some park and to Oittaa where they have an angry birds park, a beach suitable for little kids, a cafe and a sauna. Other than that, it's gonna be familytime <3 and of course, baby's first midsummer! What are your plans? Either way, enjoy!

If you're considering an investment on for example new strollers or any other baby-gear, Lekmer   has a campaign until April 26, 2016 (8 am). You'll get 10% off on selected items worth at least 100€ on their site with a marking " Kampanja 10% ". They have many other on-going campaigns this month so please check them out. Especially a good time to buy new strollers: for example Britax Go 2015 -stroller is on sale for 769,90€ which I think is a very good deal. I compared those prices with used ones online, and some of them (used ones, that is) have an asking price of 600-900€. Ok, some may have more other accessories but still - something to consider about whether buying a used one or brand new. With this one I'd go with the last option :) That's all for the advertisement part today :) I'm beat, it's been a long day - all day inside the house with my little guy and I can't wait to get to my yoga class later in the evening. I haven't been a...

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...

Good morning! Today I'm going to introduce my new best friend: CDON.COM which is an online store  that offers a huge selection on music and merchandise. I was surprised when I first took a closer look on their site and what they are selling: shoes and clothes, baby-gear (from toys to clothes and strollers), home and gardening, sports-gear, books, movies, beauty and health, and top it off - they even have an outlet section! Maybe I'll find new stroller or someone else will find a jogging stroller? I saw one in their site. Not only do they have ongoing offers but they have campaigns on different categories. I wont point out any particular ones but just check this site out and find the ones you'll like - the selection is huge! So that being said, happy shopping! Today we're also gonna go out and explore some fun easter stuff and go to Haltiala farm . L has never seen farm animals so it should be fun an my last visit was years ago. So many things I get to explore now ...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a quick post on sale items at Ellos . They have so many great maternity & baby clothes at reasonable price and there's also a 10€ off -sign on their webpage when you order stuff for at least 40€ total! First you have to active a code on front page. Not only clothes but baby-gear as well: some strollers, stylish raincovers, diaper bags etc. They have several different brands for maternity clothes, such as mama-licious, mom2mom, boob and vertbaudet. Lot's of toys too! (Sorry, this site is only in finnish language). Great shopping you all and have a wonderful weekend!

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...
