Yes, happy palm sunday everyone! In Finland we have this easter  tradition that little girls (and boys too) dress up as witches or bunnies and go sort of trick of treating on the sunday before easter, on palm sunday which happens to be today. They bring decorated twigs to neighbors and in return they receive a reward (usually coins or chocolate easter eggs or other candies). We were pleased to have one set of these witches today and thank god I still had some easter eggs left :) Fun tradition, I remember doing that when I was a child and my husband did too. Good way to earn some money on your own and obviously didn't hurt getting some chocolate as well :) Maybe next year we'll go do that with L but only to greet both grandparents - he's way too young to go doing that on his own. So a lot of chocolate eaten this weekend and more to come next week when I start my easter holiday. I have some holiday left which needs to be used before the end of april so now's a good t...

Hello! How are you all doing? Hope everything's fine - to me it is. We went for a long walk today and L took his nap on a stroller. It's a bit cold here but somewhat sunny - spring is definitely on its way :) Our bathroom renovation project continues and week 3 starts on monday. It shouldn't take much longer anymore (3 weeks at the very most) so one day we'll be able to move back home. We're almost done with all the shopping, and today I ordered a shower set from Taloon  and particularly this one  which is on sale until 31 march, 2016. It's the cheapest one we found and this weekend (18-21 march, 2016) Taloon.com has free shipping and really short delivery time (1-3 days) so that was the winning deal for us. Didn't need to drive anywhere on a saturday but instead we ordered this online and had so much more time to do other family-stuff. Convenient :) And the best thing? They deliver it directly to your home. So if you need anything for you house (real...

Good evening! Today I had my pregnancy check up where they checked my blood pressure (normal), my weight (only 4 kg gained so far, yay!) and the size and height of my uterus. I'm glad I haven't gained too much weight yet because of my gestational diabetes - better keep an eye on the weight, and I sure have. What I was a little concerned about are contractions: I've been having those for a couple of days but let's hope they're just for practice and the baby will stay put for at least another..10 weeks? :) Other than that, I've had quite a busy day. Another seminar coming this week and lot's of things due this and next week so those will keep me busy. Shopping Just in case someone's interested in doing some monday-night shopping, Boozt  has a campaign (20% off) on women's , men's and kid's this season's outerwear. This campaign lasts only three days and it's about brands such as Fransa, Diesel, Esprit, Baum und Prefdgarten, Ga...
