Good morning! What a great day L and I had yesterday at my parents house. It was super sunny all day long and we went for a walk without a stroller and just played & explored new things outside. L is still sleeping so it must have been a fun day for him too - that usually tells it :) I promised to share some pictures from our Tahko vacation. And to those who aren't familiar with Tahko, check this site out. So here they are: Our "little" cabin - it doesn't actually look that big but it was :) That's little L ready to go and play at the park :) Our diningroom area / living room - picture taken upstairs You could see the slopes from our backyard :) Luckily they still had snow (but overall it was so quiet after easter) Offers If you're interested in taking great pictures, Offerilla  has an offer in Helsinki for getting great photos in a Studio Elite - at a really low price, of course. Or if you're interested in ge...

Hello! Back in business again and f eeling relaxed after easter-break in Tahko skiing resort :) We arrived back to our apartment late last night (yes, our apartment!) and spent a night at our apartment for the first time in 4 weeks. Our bathroom is almost done: it should be done today!! I'm so happy and I didn't even mind cleaning the apartment. So much dust all over it but I don't care - we've all missed our home so much! Now we're gonna have to make up our mind: should we sell the apartment or stay in it - baby#2 arrives in mid-july so if we're gonna sell it, we need to do it now. Confused, yes.  Next post I'll write is about our Tahko-vacation and pics of our bathroom. This time little bit different. So t his time I will write a post about this new company that offers their cleaning-services here in Finland. Therefore this post will be in Finnish only:  Moppi - kokeilutarjous Vietä enemmän aikaa perheesi kanssa ja palkkaa siivooja. Me Mopilla si...

Yes, happy palm sunday everyone! In Finland we have this easter  tradition that little girls (and boys too) dress up as witches or bunnies and go sort of trick of treating on the sunday before easter, on palm sunday which happens to be today. They bring decorated twigs to neighbors and in return they receive a reward (usually coins or chocolate easter eggs or other candies). We were pleased to have one set of these witches today and thank god I still had some easter eggs left :) Fun tradition, I remember doing that when I was a child and my husband did too. Good way to earn some money on your own and obviously didn't hurt getting some chocolate as well :) Maybe next year we'll go do that with L but only to greet both grandparents - he's way too young to go doing that on his own. So a lot of chocolate eaten this weekend and more to come next week when I start my easter holiday. I have some holiday left which needs to be used before the end of april so now's a good t...

Friday's here. Finally!! As I've mentioned million times already, I've been sick with this flu and stomach flu and flu again. It finally feels like I'm getting better and it feels great :) This past week has actually been first week that I've been able to go to work each day - amazing! It's so embarrassing to call my boss and say 'hey, I'm / my son is sick..again'. Anyway, I blame the start of the day-care 'career' for that and maybe we're done with the flu-season. So now that I finally get to move again and before my third trimester starts (and moving gets too hard again), it's time to invest on new running (or in my case, walking) shoes. I've been drooling for these Nike Air Max shoes for a while already and  Brandos  has them, for example, so I might have to order them: Other than ordering more shoes and clothes, we're gonna go to our apartment and remove that one layer of floor tiles. Then we're ready to actuall...
