Vappu This weekend is gonna be so much fun since we have monday off due to Vappu celebrations here in Finland.

Then there's no rush to leave a party at night, you can sleep in (unless you're travelling with kids!) and enjoy a nice buffet breakfast. Yum! On monday, which is a national day off (at least for most finns), people usually go to a picnic  (sorry, that link is only in finnish). Either in Helsinki or just at their own home in a terrace or a nearby park. Don't forget to wear your high school graduation hat! :) Okay, as soon as I start writing my baby wants to go to bed so I better go now. Have a great weekend and enjoy Vappu in you're in Finland! :)

Really hot summer but unfortunately, as it happens very often, little L got sick very early on the vacation and they only had one doctor on the island so it was a bit scary. Luckily L got better and we got to enjoy a nice holiday. Would I recommend the island for people travelling with a toddler? No. Why? Because it didn't have too many outdoor places for children to play at - we actually had to travel quite ...
