Our little prince charming had a very stony week, so to say… He started it by falling from the stairs, making a spectacular somersault and landing head-first. Oh my, that was scary. And the amount of screaming was gushing. No wonder. (How do mothers keep calm in these situations…?) Miraculously he survived with a bump …
Here it is again! My favorite time of the year! You know why? Because May means summer! The nature is at its best – fresh and glimmering in all the shades of green, flowers blossoming and all. And it also means Eurovision Song Contest and Ice Hockey World Championship… Especially ESC is a MUST. Honestly, …
Tonight my little prince charming took a hit on his head. Yes, literally. He fell on his head. And as always, this kind of accidents tend to happen in the evening, when it is almost time for bed. Well, guess what? I didn’t feel like putting him to a bed right after his forehead was …
…all the other days I will live. This thought is not my own, it is a quote from Finnish politician and cancer fighter Maarit Feldt-Ranta, but it strikes me deeply to the bottom of my soul.

When visiting Switzerland, the Alps are definitely one of the must-see-destinations. But what do you know… they are high. And they are steep. And the roads are mostly narrow serpentines. And what if you suffer acrophobia, or the fear of heights with common language? And what if there’s more..? What if you are also slightly …
Moving into another country may sound like an exciting idea. Like an ultimate adventure! And it is, up to the point when harsh reality bites you in the butt. Yes, you heard me. I promise you, if you do choose to move somewhere far away from your origins, the day will come when you feel …
It was a beautiful Saturday morning and none of us needed to go anywhere. No work, no school, no other distractions. Our little princess got it stuck in her head that she wants to go somewhere outdoors, make a fire and prepare some chocolate bananas… Yes, why not, indeed? So we did. After mile long …
…only it was not. It was a Saturday. Yesterday we had a very busy day. I am not going into all details but it did include preparing breakfast to our guests, feeding and taking care of a bunch of horses, buying new shoes for our little princess, just to mention a few things. And of …
