Babymoon vol. 3 – throwback to the Greek Islands
It’s been a grey and rainy September Sunday. A perfect day to go through holiday pictures and look back at those happy sunny days in Greece 🙂 I didn’t share much from our second week as I was busy relaxing but better late than never! We spent seven nights in total at Milos (six days) Read More

Starting a family abroad – when my home is not my child’s home
I’m back home! And by home I mean Finland 🙂 No number of years abroad will ever change the fact that this is where I was born and grew up. Where my hair colour is considered normal and where people know how to pronounce and spell my name! I’ve started my three week summer holiday Read More

Mini-babymoon in Rome
One of my dreams came true last weekend when we took advantage of the UK bank holiday to spend a long weekend in Rome! We visited Italy twice last year, Sardinia and Venice, and I was eager to explore more of the country I fell in love with. I was really looking forward to not Read More
