June is here and it's time to think about summer vacation ideas in Finland and in baltics.  Ikaalisten matkatoimisto  has once again the best valued summer vacation and in general travel ideas for my family, mainly in Estonia since we're not  travelling far away from Finland this summer. We've usually stayed in Tallinn in a spa-hotel which is perfect with kids. There aren't too many outdoor playgrounds in Tallinn but our kids need activities and therefore a spa with kiddy pools are a must :) and mommy & daddy like Estonia so it's a match ;) Ikaalisten matkatoimisto  Ikaalisten matkatoimisto has many spa-hotels in their selection varying from family-friendly to more luxurious ones, and our top-choice over the years has been Meriton conference & spa hotel. We always travel to Estonia via a ferry so it's either a Viking Line or Silja Line and it takes usually from 2-3 hours from Helsinki to Tallinn. Meriton conference & spa hotel is about 30 min walk fr...

Good afternoon! How are you doing? I'm having a great day with my kiddos at a park and for some un-explainable reason, my 3 year old hasn't pushed any "mommy goes crazy" -buttons :D oh well, I'm sure that'll change or maybe it's the sun that does it's magic. Anyway, I've had time to go through clothes for the fall, and most of them are too small :( good thing is that Reima  has always good quality clothes on sale and they last for years which is great since I have 3 boys. There's always next one to use them :) have you guys given a thought on fall clothing yet or are you still on holiday mood? You should enjoy your holiday but keep in mind fall is coming :) I'm so glad weekend is here and my hubby will join us. He just returned to work on wednesday and boy do I miss him during the day!! It sure feels like an olympic sport to entertain young kids. And keep an eye on them so they wont hurt them. The other night they were hiding from us pa...

It's time to think about a little trip with our family: a road trip somewhere in Finland. Yes, nothing too stressful and especially not too far :) Since I'm breastfeeding we need several stops along the way plus baby can't sit on a car seat for too long (because he can't sit yet) so we're literally making a 2 hr trip to a (at least) 6 hr trip ;) Yes, good times. We're thinking about travelling to Tampere which is only 2 hrs (I mean, 6 hrs for us) away from Espoo. Just 2 nights in a hotel and maybe going for the sites they have - such as Särkänniemi . That place should entertain our 2 year old just fine :) For accommodation (hotel) I already checked Booking   and ebookers . Radisson Blu  -hotel also usually has good summer deals and I'm especially looking for those for the family. I think it's gonna rain next week so we need a good hotel and lot's of stuff to do there in case we're stuck in there. So this is our very short summer vacation this...
