Bunny Bakes
by Sofia - in Random
To end our bunny week I wanted to share some of my favourite bunny bakes from around the web. We will for sure try some of these with the girls…
These cuter than cute cupcakes are designed for little hands to make. If you bake the cupcakes ready and also make the frosting ahead then these are a fun and fast afternoon activity! I think we will make these on the next playdate I have marked on my calendar. Think carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting. Tutorial on Handmade Charlotte.

Peter and friends
by Sofia - in Random
You know I´m a huge fan of Peter Rabbit and all Beatrix Potter illustrations and stories. Unlike some other character loves of my life, these are luckily available as illustrations on many lovely children´s ( and even regular kitchen) items. Here are some of my favourites…
I ordered these letters for the girls´ Easter baskets this year. They can have them on the books shelf or on their school tables later on.
We also got this egg holder for the weekend breakfast table to have all year around.
The girls got these little spatulas when my husband was in the States. Are they not cute for little bakers?!
I ordered some things to the hotel for when I visit next time. Like this waffle mix!
This bowl is not only good for baking. I think it will be great for everyday salads, to hold fruit in it ( think apricots, cherries or plums for instance) or for movie night popcorn.
And last but not least I got myself this spoon rest for the simple reason I actually needed one. I´m really loving those kitchen details in this photo by the way. The marble table top with the aqua blue-grey subway tiles and the white grout.
Are you a Beatrix Potter fan? We have love the books and the DVD box too. Bubble Gum even had a Peter Rabbit 1st birthday party ( and she recently asked if she could have a new one).

Bye bye February
by Sofia - in Random
Eikö olekin ihanaa kun kevät on virallisesti täällä! Helmikuu oli silti oikein hyvä kuukausi. Se piti sisällään laskiaispullia ja Runebergin torttuja, mutta myös paljon vihreitä juomia, tuoreita marjoja ja ihania sitrushedelmiä. Oli museoretkiä, lätkämatseja, illallisvieraita, treffejä ystävien kanssa, Disney on Ice-show, lastentapahtumia ja ystävänpäivä. Oli uintia ja saunomista, hyviä treenejä, kivoja tanssitunteja, luistelun opettelua, arkiruokia kuten lihapullia ja pottumuusia ja askartelua, lukemista & leikkimistä eli ihan tavallista arkea. Ei hullumpi kuukausi!
I´m so so excited about March and the Spring arriving but February was a good month too. Here are some photos from my phone.
In February we ate a lot of treats as there were so many celebrations like Runeberg´s Day, Shrove Tuesday and Valentine´s day but we also ate green smoothies, Quark with honey & berries and tried out things like colourful cauliflowers. The month was also filled with tulips in different colours. There were new clothes daddy brought from the states, a fun night watching Disney on Ice and the new hobby of ice-skating.
On Shrove Tuesday we had a friend come over for some traditional pea soup and instead of baking sweet buns we bought a ready made one… actually a bun cake! Then there was Valentine´s day with presents and cute heart shaped crafts ( the mice are made from three different heart shaped bits) and yummy breakfast of waffles. It was also a month of fun colours in new pants and delicious citrus fruits.
