Hey everyone! Summer is coming, believe or not, and many of you may already have plans for your summer vacation. Everyone travelling with kids know that you always have so much stuff with you: all the luggage, travel stroller (or two) and all those carry on bags - that's a lot with crazy, running away kids :) My opinion these days is that if you have even just one idea that can save your nerves (and muscles), take it :D I know, I've talked about these so many times so why not this time too? Lekmer has all their Carena Kobbe travel strollers on sale which are similar to Babyzen yoyo travel stroller what comes to their size but are much cheaper compared to yoyo. We're not sure what we're doing this summer since we go back and forth with our summer plans. We sorta wanna go some where warm (Bulgaria, Greece etc.) but then again we like Estonia so much that we're talking about going there with our car and my parents might even come with us. Either way, we just don...

Hey everyone! Yesterday I wrote about new travel stroller Chicco Miinimo that's on sale at Lekmer. I guess it's the time when everyone needs a new travel stroller since Jollyroom has selected colours of  Babyzen Yoyo+ travel strollers -15%! How cool is that? Unfortunately those colours (pink and red) are not my favorites with two boys but someone else who has a little princess those colours are just perfect <3 Babyzen Yoyo+ [at]Jollyroom Tomorrow my older son turns 4 and on saturday we'll have a birthday party for him. Paw control (ryhmä hau) is THE thing for him so that's what I had to get him :) I got him Jungle Rescue Hero Pup so let's hope this is the one of those he really likes :) This one happens to be in sale at Lekmer which is nice since these are always so pricey. Check these out - Babyzen yoyo+ is randomly on sale (and neither is Paw Patrol) :) Enjoy this sunny day! Jungle rescue hero pup [at]Lekmer

Good afternoon, everyone! Sun is shining here in Finland but at the same time it's really cold. -18 degrees this morning, brrr! I'm so glad I get to work from home every now and then :) And hey let's talk a little about work. I returned back to work in january to work as a project manager but only part-time which in my case means fridays are off. Kids are either at home with me or it's my time to go to the gym (the only time I get to go there during the week) or just run errands. I know, you can judge me: why the hell my kids are at day-care if I'm at home? Well, you see, mama needs her own time as well and my kids really enjoy the day-care. So the pros are: - I do have my own-time, "me-time" to take care of my self - kids can stay home with me if they want to (usually they don't!) or if they're sick, I won't miss a day at work - my house is always clean on fridays. Not too much on saturdays but hey, that's another story ;) - 4-da...

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I wrote last time but you know - life's hectic with two kids :) It's midsummer here in Finland and it was pouring just an hour ago! And now it's sunny again. Weird weather, I say. As always, I'm thinking about our summer vacation and still debating on which stroller we're taking with us. As for now, there's a really good deal going on at Pinkorblue meaning they have a 7% discount code on already discounted products. It's not valid for every single product (check out the link) but for the most part it's a great one. For example, they have Baby jogger city tour stroller (similar in size with Babyzen yoyo or Mountain Buggy Nano) for 295€ (certain colours) plus you'll get that 7% off. Great deal, I think! Okay, once I get in to writing mode, my youngest son - who by the way turned 1 year old - needs me asap. So I got to go. Thank god I have a massage tonight cause my poor back is hurting again - even thoug...

You know me and my never ending journey to find that perfect, smaller than smallest, travel stroller. I've tried a few so I'm kinda hesitating on ordering a new one so my journey continues. The bottom line is that I'm not gonna spend more than 300€ for this stroller so that kinda limits my search - all the best ones do cost more than that. Then I found this one, Carena Kobbe Lux travel stroller, as I went through the selection of Lekmer. This one, a lux one (they do have a cheaper basic one but I like this colour better) has: - a handle bar for the kid, - a faux leather handle bar for the one pushing the stroller, - it doesn't weigh a lot (6,9 kg), - it's small in size (as folded) 52,5 x 45,5 x 23,5 cm (you can basically take this in the airplane with you, as handluggage that is) - a child up to 18kg is able to use it (compared to most travel strollers with a weigh limit of 15 kg) - it's handle-bar is 104 cm (compared to Mountain buggy nano  which is 98c...

Good morning! Summer is finally here, or at least june is. We still had some rain last week and are supposed to have it today too, but tomorrow should be better what comes to weather. I still have my hopes that summer and warm weather will get here too! Talk about summer and upcoming trips too, I'm in a hopeless journey of finding one more new umbrella/small travel stroller. We do have a travel stroller (Britax b agile) that we bought in 2014 and it still functions quite well after all our trips. But it wont seat two kids, that's for sure so on our last trip to Crete we actually had our double stroller, Phil and Teds Navigator, with us. Ok, it was a good idea to have it with us because it's sorta like a travel stroller for two kids and we do need it because our toddler still sleeps during the day and a stroller works just fine for that. Actually, they both take their nap at the same time so it was perfect in that trip. But then again, this stroller is kinda heavy and bi...

Hey everyone! What a few days it's been. First we had (almost) summer last saturday and then all of sudden we has snow yesterday! And it's may! This weather is crazy :) So what do I always do when the weather sucks? I shop. And boy have I shopped lately (oops!) from babywearing accessories (new ring sling, manduca..) to new travel strollers from Jollyroom. I will post about these later and if you're into shopping as well, check out this discount code from Lekmer . They have some great stuff, basically anything you need for your little ones, and this discount code is valid until 1st of June, 2017. New stroller from Jollyroom So I'm getting ready for this summer - even though I don't even know if we're going travelling anywhere and yet I already bought a new stroller! :D No really, lately I've been carrying my baby in my Tula baby carrier (which I bought lately as well, loving it) and my older son really doesn't need a stroller anymore, except when...

Good morning, everyone! What a lovely sunshine we have :) After all the rain and snow we still had this past weekend, it's finally time to welcome spring and eventually summer to Finland :) Yesterday kids and I spent 3 hours outdoors playing and biking, and it did warm up to 15 degrees which is a lot in here. This week it's supposed to get to 20 degrees, yay! And not only do I like the sun I also need the sun: baby and I woke up at 4.30 am this morning and the only way I managed to put him back to sleep was to put him in my Tula baby carrier. I can say he slept like a baby but it's kinda hard for me to sleep then, right?! Strong coffee for me today, thank you very much :D So as summer is getting closer and closer, and everyone's doing their preps for summer holiday, it's time to introduce yet another interesting online store for you guys: Pinkorblue . They have a great selection of strollers, baby carriers/slings, clothes, furniture and many many other things. T...

Good morning, everyone! I wrote about finding the right kind of stroller for 1 or 2 children and that was mainly targeted to people with with a toddler and a baby or two toddlers. But when I was expecting my first child, L, I had no previous experience on strollers at all. I'd seen those for sure but I never paid too much attention on them. Some strollers had four big tires, some four with two smallers ones in front and some of them had only three tires. Some were big, some smaller and some in between. Some have adjustable legrests while others have bigger & better hood/canopy. And the color - which one to choose? As you can imagine, we were lost and advice came from everywhere! This post is about finding the right one especially for newborn and we'll talk about other types of strollers later. I hope this helps you or even gets you on the right direction. As said before, I'm not a professional on this so this is only based on me and my family's own experience. ...
