Fall accessories for babywearing, strollers and everything else!

Image
Hey everyone! Fall's here with cooler weather and rain, and it's that time again when you need to think again what to wear (bikini's aren't enough :)), how to take your kids to playground or to daycare and do I need a babycarrier or a new stroller. Luckily my older kids ride their bikes to daycare and my youngest son - now 7 months old - travels everywhere under my babywearing jacket. So no stroller really needed! But then again, winter's coming too and here in Finland you need a stroller with big tires and the streets are slippery so maybe a stroller could be on my shopping list. That's why I listed some of my favorite items so feel free to check them out and get them if you feel they're useful to you :)Warning: contains ads. Babywearing I love babywearing and Hoppediz has this alternative for a babycarrier, a Hop-Tye Buckle . It's soft as a sling but easy as a carrier, and it's adjustable so it goes from newborn to a toddler.  Double str...

Spring is here and babywearing rocks!

Hey everyone! It's been over a month I wrote last time and time sure flies! Baby's already 2,5 months old, springtime with nice weather has come to Finland and babywearing has won the competition against strollers :) I'm not complaining though since baby's still so small and it's easy to carry him around everywhere and I don't have to carry my double stroller to anywhere. To be honest, my mountain buggy duet double stroller is more like a closet these days, collecting all the dust and no one sitting on it :) I gotta say my Tula Free-to-grow carrier has been a life saver and worth every penny!! I also bought second-hand Liliputi mama babywearing jacket and an angelwings babywearing hoodie, and they're perfect! I totally recommend a babywearing jacket if you have more than one child - makes life so much easier. That being said my little E is waking up from his Tula-nap. Adios, everyone!

Tula Free to Grow babycarrier

Image
Hey everyone! Last time I wrote about buying a Tula Free-to-grow babycarrier and I did it and ordered one! Eek! I ended up getting it in "Stormy" since I like solids so much and this one felt like mine. And it already feels like the best investment yet because baby really likes it and fell asleep immediately I put him there. So easy to use, feels good on me too and I get to do chores while baby sleeps :) Those chores mean cooking, doing laundry and taking care of my other son who got sick last night. Poor little guy! :( Have you already got into the wonderful world of babywearing? Happy saturday! T

Tula Free-to-Grow soar babycarrier on sale!

Image
Hey everyone! My baby's first month already passed and things are great. Babyboy sleeps and eats really well, likes to sleep in a stroller and enjoys when I carry him in a sling or a carrier. I like babywearing so much because I have two older ones as well and I need my both hands - especially when taking the boys to daycare or whenever. I have a Manduca but it just doesn't fit well: I need a new one, for sure. Baby Tula FTG carrier 'soar' happens to be on sale for 129€ at Babyshop which is great since I was gonna buy one anyway. It's a really good price because these usually cost 159€ at least here in Finland, so hurry up and get yours!! These sale items usually sell really fast so go and order yours if you wanna save some €€ like I do :) Time is limited these days because baby just woke up for lunch. Until the next time!

Babywearing with a toddler in a Vero Moda wool jacket

Sunny but cold wednesday to you all! It's getting colder here in Finland but today we're experiencing something different: sunshine. It's supposed to snow tomorrow, brrr, so I had to go and buy new clothes for me and my kids. I still carry my younger son every now and then, so I decided I'm not gonna buy a babywearing jacket (because they're so expensive) but I do need something that can occasionally fit my child in it. And just like that, I found a perfect winter coat with wool-blend in it and in a nice grey colour (in one of those 50 shades of grey, hahaa..anyway)! This one, of which I posted a pic on my instagram account, fits almost perfectly over me and my little one. I mean, my little one is already 1year and 4 months old, and it still fits us :) The best part in this jacket is that it has a cover over my neck/between me and my baby so no wind can go under my jacket and freeze us. That's what even most babywearing jacket don't have (and I've had...

What sells second hand and how to sell it

Hello, long time no see! :) It's been a while since I wrote last time and that's just because time is kinda short these days with a crazy toddler and almost-walking baby, aka almost toddler (yikes!) So when I actually have time just for me, I tend to stare at the wall and not do anything for good 10 minutes :D Sounds bad but it certainly isn't as I truly enjoy this stage of life. As many of you know, I love second hand shopping and selling my stuff as well. Especially kids stuff, namely strollers, babywearing stuff and clothes every now and then. So what sells? That's a good question and as I don't have an answer to that, I do have some good pointers and here's my list: Strollers . If they're brand names, such as Bugaboo or Babyzen (especially yoyo) - brands "everyone's talking about" - it's always easy to sell them. Of course, what counts are, are they still in good shape, kept in the house (no mold in it, please), how old they are (q...

Babywearing all the time

Good morning! It's cold outside, and I get to stay inside because my husband took our toddler to day care - priceless!! I'm telling, these early mornings with two kids are just overwhelming every now and then so I really don't mind when hubby suggests something like this :) A while ago I sold our P&T verve double stroller. Just because I just didn't like it that much: even though it's bigger than sport or explorer from the same brand, I didn't like how my baby was sleeping 'on the ground' and with all the winter clothes it was getting harder to putting him there. You know, the underseat for sibbling. Just not my thing, so it had to go but now we're without a double stroller. Yikes! I even thought about buying a Bugaboo donkey duo (again!) but no - I won't do it. There's just not enough use for the price, no no no. I have pic's of my P&T (and Bugaboo as well) on my Insta if you're interested seeing them. So instead of put...
