Card Work Shop
When at home sick, there is time for creativity: My mum brought a while ago white cards to us, which were a great simple inspiration for us to paint loads of cards. Now we are prepared for all the birthdays coming up.
Cardboard Cottage
For the first of May celebrations my husband cut and taped a little cottage for the kids to play in while adults where tending the barbecue. It is big enough for our kids to walk through the door. Taking water colours and brushes out where a huge hit too, and kept the kids busy. We […]
Old Goodies in Helsinki
My holiday started with a fantastic long weekend with friends visiting from Belgium and Estonia. Together we did a lot of the fun things that once upon a time I have blogged (further details through the links) about but are worth being mentioned again. As a local I would love to do these more often, but […]
Winter in Moomin World
Moomin World, so beloved by all small children, a bustling place in the summer. In the winterp the Moomins wake up from their winter sleep only for one week. It is the week of the “ski holidays” at school (yes, an ancient name of the school holiday), and it fits the stories rather well as […]
Christmas Lights and Parade
We’ve officially kicked off the Christmas season: the decorations are up, cd’s, dvd’s and books are out again to be enjoyed for 3 weeks. Opposed to what I thought, we weren’t even super early: today was the day the Christmas lights were lit on Aleksi, the main shopping street in Helsinki and the event that […]
Fun Party Food
I recently brought my son to a birthday with this (and much more) on the table: That mum is amazing!
Play Doh Hedgehogs
Back to the most simple crafts: We were tired but it wasn’t quite bedtime yet. We had some old, almost too dry, play doh and we had tooth picks. That was enough for making a little family, and a perfect little thing to do together. While sticking the tooth picks in, I heard all about […]
Lilla Luckan at the Night of the Arts
Thursday was the Night of the Arts, and therefore loads of art related opportunities and eg good sales in book shops all around the city. Even though it was also a week night we decided to continue from the Night Market to the city centre to get a glimpse of everything going on. Talking about […]
Free Puppet Theatre
Originally posted on Free But Fun:
We went to see the free puppet theatre in the Winter Gardens yesterday. The story was Sleeping Beauty, kids loved the rose princess, my husband thought I was a bit meh, and I found it entertaining to look at the different solutions for the requisites for the play. After…
Rovaniemi, Arctic Circle and Santa Clause
Me and my husband have been there before but it’s a visit that we had to do with our children too; I flew to Rovaniemi with our children and my husband drove up (Helsinki – Rovaniemi, 11-12hrs). We arrived at the Rovaniemi airport: The airport is just a couple of kilometres from the Arctic Circle […]
