My kids have two homes

Hey everyone!  Spring is on its way and it's supposed to be +10 degrees here in Finland this week - and that's a lot after this long winter :) Hopefully all the snowing is behind us now because I'm so ready for spring! My kids are ready for spring as well because it's been a hell of a year for them so far as my kids have two homes. They live with me for the most of the time and two oldest stay at their dad's house for a couple of days per week. My youngest son is only two years young so he basically always stays with me and maybe once a month one night with his dad. I'm sure that will change too in a year or two but for now this is the best arrangement for us all.  How are kids feeling about their two different homes? Now that's gonna be a great question as it doesn't have a just one answer. It was super-hard at first back in september when my ex and I got us parents a rental apartment for starters for the first months before I actually and eventual...

Divorcing but surprisingly falling for your ex?

New week and new challenges, every week! We had a really fun but relaxing - is it possible with three kids?! - weekend with seeing friends, sliding down the slopes and eating like there's no tomorrow :) And with that mixed with the title of this blog post, yes. The impossible is possible every now and the and miracles do happen even in our ordinary people's lives <3 Divorce - how it all started? Back in august, right after my birthday and getting back to work after my maternity leave, I filed for divorce. We've been married for seven years but things happened in the past few years and sadly this was inevitable. It was a shock to everyone, including my husband. It lead to selling our house together, finding a new area for our family with two different homes and separate - we rented a hotel room at Forenom and switched that and our home. It was really tough for us but definitely for our kids. So that was back in september to november and I finally moved to my new home in t...

Moving to a new home and a discount on moving

 What a week it's been with moving in to a new home, packing and un-packing and finally making this my new home. New life as a single mom of three, bring it on!! *This blog post has ads.* Moving discount at Offerilla I started packing a week before my actual move which was the right choice with three kids and also I'm a working mom so time was limited. I wanted a moving firm to come and help me with mostly my furniture but also boxes and therefore I checked through major moving firms. The cost of moving kids beds, a kitchen table with four chairs, patio furniture and all the boxes varied from 400-1200€ euros. That was way more than my stuff cost since I didn't have a couch or a bed with me in my old home (those were delivered brand new from other places). So I googled some more and checked Offerilla  and they actually had a quite a few different deals under "Palvelut/Services" section. I chose 2 hour moving with two movers and a big truck from a firm called KokoRe...
