Happy thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Random

I had an incredible week filled with energy from friends and it will continue to the weekend. On Monday I went to the late night movies with one friend ( it´s a great way to meet a girlfriend even after all the hobbies & homework ). On Tuesday I had one friend come over for breakfast and girl talk with bagels and lox and had dinner with a group of girlfriends ( the original Lattemamma´s) the same night at OX which is a fairly new restaurant in Helsinki. I´m having two lovely ladies for lunch today, one all the way from London and tonight I´m going to see a play and have a glass of red wine with my high school besties.

Have an absolutely fantastic weekend!

Hope your week was great! We had a half term break from school but unfortunately it did not mean we had the time off from work this year. But we did get our schedules worked out so that we squeezed in an amazing Alice in Wonderland tea party at our friend´s house ( AMAZING!!!). I also had a blissful Monday morning alone with my 7 year old. She got to choose the plan for it so we had breakfast at Starbucks ( her first time) and then some shopping. She chose ripped jeans for herself from Zara I was a little hesitant about but the colour was pretty and we talked about how to wear them to work the cool edge and not make them look trashy ( stripy shirts, or white t-shirts and white Converses, or a grey cashmere hoodie etc.). I just try to realise my baby is way cooler than I am. I have made her an older girls Pinterest board if you´d like to have a look. And by older I mean somewhere before pre-teens. There was also a cousin playdate at our house ( my husband graciously supervised while working remotely) that included things like washable nail polish and what not. Now I look forward to a long weekend starting tomorrow that stretches out to next Wednesday! It includes a date night and lots of family quality time. Fresh air, board games, painting with watercolours and maybe we will make a pizza from scratch. What are your favourite toppings?

Enjoy your weekend!

Hyvää viikonloppua ja hyvää laskiaista! Pitäsiköhän ihan leipoa läjä laskiaispullia pinkillä kermavaahdolla kuten joku oli Instgrammissa tehnyt, näytti söpöltä!? Ainakin jotain ulkoilua, yhdessä kokkailua ja lautapelejä voisi tähän viikonloppuun mahduttaa!

Smoothie bowlin

by Sofia   -   in Random

I must admit I have not been so intrigued by the smoothie bowl thing. I´m not saying I´m opposed to it in any way, but have not been too ecstatic about it either even though they do look pretty online. But I wanted to make one to try to feed for my girlies who usually love smoothies and I thought that this would be a handy way to add a new dimension to the breakfast routine. This one is a super simple bowl but you can find plenty of interesting sounding smoothie bowls on Pinterest for instance.

Purple bowl ( makes 2-3 portions)

2 bananas ( one can be frozen)

2 beets ( peeled, raw or cooked & cooled)

2 dl of frozen blueberries

 a dash of water or mylk ( coconut, oat or almond for instance)

Put it all in a blender and then transfer your thick smoothie to a bowl and add toppings. I added toasted coconut flakes, gluten free granola and some blueberries on this. Feel free to add nut butters, dates and what not to your smoothie bowl. This is just a simple one to get those purple foods in to those little bellies.
