Blog about work and babies

Good evening! It's a rare evening for me being able to write but 2/3 kiddos are asleep so I guess that means me-time :) I can't believe but my baby - youngest - turned 9 months yesterday!! This last baby year seems to go so fast, faster than the previous ones. It's bitter sweet to even think about my feelings year ago, how I was just waiting for this one to make his entrance and how slowly time would pass. And the fear I always had with all my pregnancies that something bad would happen. Anyway, things went fine and here we are - with an almost toddler :) Today my middle son had a day off from daycare as he always has on mondays so the three of us went to a mall nearby with bus and metro. There was a playarea where my 2 youngest ones could play and boy did I enjoy watching them play together! This mommy of 3 thing is getting easier with all of them playing together and that baby phase sorta moving away, if you know what I mean. And ok, only 2 of them with me today but s...

Good morning, dear readers! * this post includes an ad * September is quickly turning to october, and most people - at least here in Finland - like to do something special on their fall vacation. Not everyone wabt to fly outside the country but instead have a vacation in Finland and enjoy the beautiful fall colours. For that there's  Lomarengas  and the best part is that tgey have good quality cabins all over Finland. This year we're actually flying to Greece on fall vacation since we did this Finland vacation-thing this past summer. All I gotta say is that these cabins are worth taking into deep consideration. I love the cooler but not cold weather, hikes up north, picking berries, fishing and just spending time with the family. My kids are 100% outdoorsy kinda people, as in they love to explore the nature and that fresh air does some magic to their heads ;) they sleep like babies (or like middle-aged men :D) so thats another great reason for this kinda vacation. Anyone wit...

Howdy everyone! Fall is here, actually for the second day since we had the best summer ever :) long summer, that is. Now it's finally getting cooler so it's time to check out new fall clothes. My favorite destination is  Bestseller  because they have clothes for everyone. My favorites are their maternity line, which includes mamalicious clothes, and nursing wear. What's your favorite? Right now I'm a fan of sweat pants and hoodies - either the ones you can nurse in (the hoodies of course :D) or the clothes that are suitable for babywearing. Those are always my favorite :) Other than shopping, my baby and I began babyyoga few weeks ago. I love it, it's great for my back and it's about last time to start doing it since this baby has started moving! At 7 months he's not too far from learning to walk, yikes :) we're also travelling to Greece next month and that makes me so excited! Happy wednesday!

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

Hey everyone! It's been a crazy month so far: I returned back to work from my maternity leave and my youngest son (aka 'the baby') started at daycare - full time. I gotta say, things are slowly getting better and we're all adjusting to this change but it surely has had an impact on all of us. Boys are very tired at night after daycare and so am I. I'm used to spending my days outdoors, not indoors, and that makes me tired! I mean, I pretty much do the same stuff at the same project as a project manager but things have gone forward so I do need to take the time and learn new stuff. But all in all, things are going well :) What actually surpised me was that how easily (and fast!) days would go. My husband takes the kids to daycare in the morning and I get to leave for work at 7 am so I'm there early and therefore get to leave early in order to pick up my kids early. So days go really fast, not to mention I have meetings 90% of my worktime. I only work 4 days a...
