Time flies - I'm almost half way through my pregnancy! We also found out we're having another boy so that kinda makes it more real :) I've been feeling much better, this second trimester sure is the best trimester so I've been able to workout (just a little) and run with my kiddos - not complaining at all :) This has been a busy week at work and this friday I have this super-important seminar (or webinar) coming up for 100 people online so that's kinda scary :) Not only speaking to that many people but the fact my older son had a stomach and is in fact at home with me right now. Luckily, it was a quick bug but let's hope it's not contagious so I wont catch it and then I have to cancel the seminar :( We also had a fun weekend last weekend since I turned 40 (middle-age, here I come!) and my parents had a garden-party for close family. What a nice get-together with kids and adults, and a nice to celebrate my birthday too. And we have another celebration com...

It's time for a post on maternity clothes, and this time it's gonna be Bestseller . Quite new to me but they have a lot of maternity clothes and brands such as Mamalicious, Name It, Junarose, Only, Vero Moda, Vila, J. Lindeberg and Pieces. So not just maternity ones but something for everyone. It's not too pricey either and they have campaigns every now and then to make sure you'll make a great deal. With my growing bump, I'll need for at least a new jacket for spring and definitely wool-one in either black or gray color. Cardigans are always great and you can wear those later too, so not just for pregnancy. Dresses are easy and comfortable to wear at work, and I'll definitely need a dress for baby's christening in late august. Here are some of my favorites for spring from Mamalicious (Bestseller sells these and pictures are from their site): Wool Maternity Jacket - I'll need a new jacket for spring Long Sleeve Knit Maternity Cardigan - I...

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!

Good morning, everyone! Today I'm going to a thrift store here in Helsinki - a store, that sells both baby/toddler clothes and accessories as well as women's clothing & accessories. The only difference to a regular thrift store is that the stuff this store sells is primarily new or barely used. Of course the price is less than half compared to new stuff. Nice, huh?! I took some of my old stuff (okay, 4 Ikea bags full of clothes, shoes, jewellery etc.) there last week and thought they would call and tell me they wouldn't pay for those. They do have a policy, that you can only bring certain type of stuff there (rather new, all clean & ironed). They actually texted me yesterday and said they would pay me almost 30€! I think I did pretty well considered I was gonna just throw most of that stuff away. I love recycling and I have to admit I do buy lots of used clothes, for example. Only if they're in good shape and usually kids clothes are because kids grow so fas...
