If I was expecting a baby…

… I would buy these on sale…
A classic knit set. I always loved my girls in similar. So comfortable, classic and timeless for any occasion.
A super cute outfit that I would use for nicer everyday occasions like latte dates in the city or seeing relatives. Something I would probably not buy for full prize.

Tyttöjen huone
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Interior design
Tyttöjen huoneessa on tarkoitus tehdä pieniä muutoksia nyt syksyllä. Hattara menee toiselle luokalle ja Purkkakin jo eskariin. Purkka on nukkunut tähän saakka pinnasängyn rungossa ( meillä oli siis 140 cm pitkä pinnasänky joka muokkautui pikkulapsen sängyksi), mutta nyt molempien on aika saada isommat sängyt. Joitain muitakin pieniä muutoksia on tiedossa, koska tytöt eivät ole enää mitään pikkuvauvoja. Ihan isojen tyttöjen huonetta ei kuitenkaan vielä ole tiedossa, sille on sitten oma aikansa. Nautin nyt vielä hetken siitä, etteivät tytöt sentään ole ihan esiteinejä vielä.
Tässä vähän tämän hetkisiä inspiraatiokuviani…
Some inspirational photos for the girls room. We have some small changes coming up this Fall as Bubble Gum will start in pre-school and Cotton Candy is going on second grade. They are not babies anymore but luckily not pre-teens quite yet either so it´s still a girls room but just a little bit bigger girls. I´m not one to rush childhood.
Have a great weekend!
Ihanaa viikonloppua!

If I could say…
by Sofia - in Good things for kids
… I think that reading with kids is super important. We are definitely no where near to being perfect parents but we have two things we try to stick to that are important for us. Family dinners together without any devises and reading bed time stories ( or daytime stories) for our kids. The latter falls very much on me because I absolutely love reading out loud but my husband reads too as we speak different languages to our kids ( me Finnish, him Swedish).
I´m not writing about this subject for the first time but it´s so close to my heart I wanted to write about it again. I love books, I loved books as a kid, as a teenager and I still do. These days I seem to read out loud more often to the kids than by myself but I still read many books a year. But my subject, reading for kids came to my mind again as my friend, a kindergarten teacher, had quoted a study on children´s development on social media ( unfortunately I don´t know what the study was or if it is accurate but it makes sense).
” The single biggest predictor of high academic achievement is reading to children. Not flash cards, not workbooks, not fancy preschools, not blinking toys or computers, but Mom and Dad taking the time every day or night ( or both!) to sit and read them wonderful books.”
And Einstein said; ” If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairytales.”
