Marie Chantal S/S 16

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids  Shopping

Eikö olekin ihanaa kun ilmat nyt suosivat meitä näin? Luulen, että kerrankin kukaan ei valita keleistä! Me teimme eilen ihanan potkulautaretken Kaivopuiston ympäri. Pysähdyimme Mattolaiturille syömään iltapalaa ( ja join pienen lasillisen kylmää roseeta lämpöisessä ilta-auringossa kuin ulkomailla konsanaan). Sitten jatkoimme siitä vielä leikkipuistoon keinumaan ja kipeilemään vaikka kello olikin jo lähemmäs kahdeksan. Purkka totesikin, että tuntui ihan siltä kuin olisimme jo kesälomalla. Siitä olikin ihana kömpiä iltapesun kautta suoraan nukkumaan. Tällaisiin iltoihin on parhaimmillaan juurikin tuon tyyppiset mekot joita Marie Chantalin kesämallistossa oli useampikin. Alla muutama suosikkini…

There was an exhibition I was very keen on seeing whilst in London but unfortunately we did not have time to see it this time around. It was the Monet to Matisse exhibition in the Royal Academy of Arts ( it is already over). An exhibition from 1860s through to 1920s of beautiful gardens. I then later on read that Marie Chantal was inspired by the same exhibition  ( and this book) when creating her Spring/ Summer collection this year. Here are some of my favourites from the collection.

Mother´s Day tea

by Sofia   -   in Party planning

Haluan toivotella ihanaa alkavaa viikkoa näiden kuvien myötä. Kutsuin eilen äitini meille äitienpäivän kunniaksi iltateelle. Koska tulin itse työmatkalta Japanista kotiin vasta neljän maissa, niin ostin kaiken reissusta valmiina. Mutta mikäs siinä on pieniä juhlia järjestellessä jos pääsee Dean & Delucaan ruokaostoksille!

I invited my mom ( and the rest of my family too) for a Sunday night Mother´s Day tea and bubbles. Here are a few photos…

Have a wonderful Mother´s Day!

by Sofia   -   in Random

What a fantastic privilege it is to be someone´s mother. It is something I am thankful for every single day and know it is not something I can take for granted. Motherhood was always my biggest dream and I would like to think that so far I have given it my all. I remember when I first got pregnant with Cotton Candy and I was so so excited about it. I had all kinds of hopes and dreams of motherhood and my diary filled faster than ever before. That first pregnancy is such a happy memory in my heart that even the thought of it still makes my heart burst in the seams. But it is nothing compared to everything that followed after her birth. Motherhood is obviously not only filled with the good times, there are hard feelings too, regrets, sadness, exhaustion. There are the moments when you lost your cool and times when your kids were not as lovely and delightful as you would have hoped for. But with all the hard times motherhood is still all and more than I ever would have imagined. And yet it is so much like I hoped it would be in my dreams I wrote down in that diary.
