Shopping at CDON.COM

Image
Hey everyone! Our wintervacation is getting to its end and actually today I'm at home just with my baby - toddler is at grandparents overnight and to be honest, this kinda feels like a vacation to me too :D Only one child at home, who's sleeping at the moment. Sometimes these moments are the best - although, I have to say, I miss my toddler like hell. Mixed feelings, huh?! Anyway, I usually just open my laptop (start blogging etc.) or I'll shop. This time I noticed all the wonderful offers at CDON   which is kinda a department store online. They have everything from books to toys and other baby gear, and at the moment they have this campaign called '5 day deals' until 2/27 (no shipping fees when delivered to Finland). Check out their webpage for more information. For example, I found this Thule Urban Glide 2   jogging stroller for two for sale at 571,95€. Spring is almost here so it's time to start jogging again! Another interesting I found is an Easy Rider...

New purse from Boozt

Yesterday I introduced Aarrekid children's brand to you if you're in need of new children's clothes. Today I decided I'll order a new bag from Boozt since my current one from Guess is kinda worn out and it just doesn't work for me anymore. I need a cross-body that's not too small but not too big either - it needs to that perfect size that can hold my wallet, phone, keys and something else too. A diaper, maybe? :) I found this  purse  from Rebecca Minkoff which has the purses I just love :) This one is also on sale now, only 152€ (plus shipping) so that's affordable for now. I need a purse that can be easy to take with me when I'm on the go with the kids. Not too 'blingy' since I'm always wearing sweatpants and sneakers but instead something rather classical with a little twist, you know. This one has these zips and it's a cross-body so this one will do the trick. What's your on the go bag? I don't need a huge diaper bag becaus...

Introducing Finnish Aarrekid children's clothing brand

Image
It's finally beginning to feel like spring is finally just around the corner - it's super sunny outside and not too cold either. I don't mind cold weather as long as it's sunny outside. I feel like I have so much more energy getting up and I blame the sun for that :) Talking about spring, for me it means new, bright clothes and less clothes for sure. After wearing dark and heavy clothes all winter it really is time for something new. This time I'll introduce you Aarrekid which is a Finnish children's clothing brand. They have the coolest textiles babies and older kids, and you can read their story here . Their clothes basically have a story :) Check it out! My older son turns 3 in just a few weeks and this might just be something I'll looking into. Fun, new clothes are always a great gift. Happy shopping, everyone and happy belated valentine's day too!

A trip to Greece in April and back to work in 2018 :)

Image
Hey there! It's been a while since I wrote last time. It's been kinda hectic lately, with one child teething and having a flu (and therefore not sleeping through the night), and the other one only half day in day care. I know, my own choices and not complaining about life, but 'me'-time is kinda limited these days :) Anyway, we made it and booked a flight and a hotel to Greece in april. Yay!! Love this feeling when you're actually waiting for something fun to happen. We'll be there for a week and it wont be too hot in that time of year but we don't like hot, steamy weather so it's perfect. And it's a change for our daily routines so double-yay :) Another new thing in our lives is that I'll be going back to work in january 2018 which is not like tomorrow but something I've been thinking about for a while now. My baby's gonna be 1,5 years old then so we're gonna hire a nanny for 6 months and then, after summer, he'll be joining ...

Winter vacation deal in Taikatalvi (Finland) in February

Image
Winter vacation is on its way, and in most cities here in Finland it usually starts from week 8. If you still don't have any plans for that week and your kids are out of school/day care that week (like us), here's a rather cheap alternative for that 'what to do' -question: a holiday for a family (2 adults and 1-2 kids) in  Finland in Taikatalvi . The staff speaks english so in case you want to visit Muumimaailma next summer, this is something I'd highly recommend for you :) This works only in Finland (obviously, it is in Finland ;)) but this would be super-fun for everyone travelling to Finland to see the Moominworld - a definite adventure for both kids and adults. Here's the official text with rules etc. in Finnish borrowed from Offerilla's site which is the organization that sells this deal: "TARJOUS Muumimaailman Taikatalvi -perhelippu (2 aikuista ja 1-2 lasta), majoitus ja aamiainen 139€ EHDOT Lahjakortti on voimassa 18.2.2017-26.2.2017 ...

Babywearing all the time

Good morning! It's cold outside, and I get to stay inside because my husband took our toddler to day care - priceless!! I'm telling, these early mornings with two kids are just overwhelming every now and then so I really don't mind when hubby suggests something like this :) A while ago I sold our P&T verve double stroller. Just because I just didn't like it that much: even though it's bigger than sport or explorer from the same brand, I didn't like how my baby was sleeping 'on the ground' and with all the winter clothes it was getting harder to putting him there. You know, the underseat for sibbling. Just not my thing, so it had to go but now we're without a double stroller. Yikes! I even thought about buying a Bugaboo donkey duo (again!) but no - I won't do it. There's just not enough use for the price, no no no. I have pic's of my P&T (and Bugaboo as well) on my Insta if you're interested seeing them. So instead of put...

Flu season and family fun at a fair - all in one week!

Good evening! It's been a while since I wrote last time and that's because I've been sick. And my toddler as well so it's been sorta long week :) just the flu but boy it makes everything harder. Glad we're finally feeling better and had a really fun sunday today together - all family - at a fair. It was about travelling and we wanted some ideas for our yearly family trip. Maybe spain but where to? That's half the fun - planning the trip, that is. And you know, after a long week like this it was just perfect. Spending time with my fam ❤ which ever trip we choose, I'll write about it later. Let's just say I'm glad we had such a good day. It hasn't been the easiest for us and now I know why so many people say dont divorce when your kids are under the age of 3. Let's just say sleep deprivation has gotten me and we've duscussed that lately. Just because life can be very hectic with two little ones but nothing too serious. That's why I'...
