Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Mine was pretty much perfect from time spent with friends and with family to great food and fun activities ( movies, bowling, party hosting etc.). Not a single thing to complain about. So it´s a great starting point to a new week filled with work and hopefully some exercise.
At some point of the year I always start to count the weeks to the opening of our country house. And now is definitely the time. I am so excited about it as always! Perhaps eight to ten weeks to go. And this year we have the brad new floors there too. Finally white! I can´t wait!
I´m pretty sure soon we will really start to smell the Spring in the air. It is imminent. I love the changes in the seasons. The turning points. The anticipation for the change and the little things leading to it. Just like planning a vacation it´s very exciting to build up to the moment and the enjoy it when it arrives. And the seasonal foods, clothes, holidays, plans. Easter is one of my favourites with the lamb and chocolate eggs and pretty colours. It holds some of my favourite childhood memories. The kind I can still smell and taste and remember very vividly. Painting easter eggs at my godmothers house. The decorated pussy willow and going around our neighbourhood with friends exchanging them for sweets. The school Easter mass where we sang the hymns we had been learning from the top of our lungs. I think at about this time of year we also started rehearsing for the ballet´s spring recitals learning new exciting dances and routines making classes even more exciting.

Eyefant eyewear
by Sofia - in Blog collaboration Good things for kids Shopping
En ole ollut pitkään aikaan näin innoissani jostain brändistä , mutta näissä lasten aurinkolaseissa on kaikki kyllä niin kohdallaan, että olin aivan riemuissani kun he halusivat tehdä blogin kanssa yhteistyötä. Eyefanin lasit on suunniteltu Ruotsissa ja valmistettu Euroopassa Italialaisen Mazzucchellin selluloosa asetaatista. Täältä voit katsoa kaikki mallit.
Auronkolasit ovat vähintään yhtä tärkeät kirkkailla keväthangilla kuin aurinkoisina kesäpäivinä. Me kuvasimme tyttöjen kanssa lasit hiihtolomalla aurinkoisessa Hangossa. Nämä näyttävät ja tuntuvat todella laadukkailta laseilta ja minun tekisi mieli ostaa kaikki mallit. Meille tuli nyt kuitenkin tällä kertaa Tivoli White Marble ja Beach Pink lasit.

What makes your kids happy? Mine are usually most content just hanging out with us. They love doing things like arts and crafts or baking, going out to play ( even just soccer with dad in the inner courtyard on a semi lousy day) or going to the movies or out to eat. As long as it is with family they are usually very happy. They also love being with their friends and most surprisingly they absolutely adore being with our friends. So our children are not very high maintenance and they are fairly easily entertained. They obviously also love new toys etc. like any child. Here are some of the ( more material) things they love at the moment.
They get very happy about little unnecessary things like jewellery and hair pins etc. I think most kids love these. Our favourite brand is MeriMeri as they are just what my girls love, cute and cool and make and outfit more fun. Here is pictured just a fraction of the things we have from the brand.
