Jacadi delivers…

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids  Shopping

… in so many levels. As you all know I love Jacadi. They have the best quality, simple and classic designs and wonderful fabrics. Their things are pretty and functional so perfect for kids. They have girly floral prints and some ruffles ( not too much) and they have sporty and great basic things too.

Now finally finally finally the Jacadi in Tallinn delivers to Finland and we have tried their services and it works! So no more crying over pretty things online that you just can´t get your hands on. Now you can even if you live in Finland. Yay!!!!! I´m so happy and loving the fact I can now order online and get the things in a few days.

I got the girls some new outfits for midsummer. Cotton Candy wanted a very pretty floral romper instead of a dress and Bubble Gum let me choose her the loveliest dress in this year´s collection ( according to me!). it´s so French and such a classic. Something you would see in the South of France on vacationing Parisian little girls ( I follow a few French mamas with exquisite taste on Instagram so I would know, wink wink). The romper is also gorgeous and the fabric is very midsummer appropriate. Cotton Candy is all about the handstands and cartwheels and splits at the moment so a romper serves her way of moving around perfectly. And all outfits need to be accessorised accordingly of course! Socks, cardigans and some hairpins.

Tranquil

by Sofia   -   in Interior design  Shopping

Tranquility and serenity are not only great words but also mindsets or moods I love to be in ( but obviously am not at all times). The lovely grey scented candle from Gauhar Helsinki definitely helps me get closer. The scent is delicious. Fresh and full. I shot it in our outhouse on the island. The colours match perfectly ( it would look great in our home too but as we are mid renovations and currently not living there I keep it on the island). For those of you not in the know, on some ( well most,) islands mainly used for summer cottages and summertime living do not have plumbing. The water comes from a well and the outhouse substitutes for a bathroom. Ours is white & light grey inside.

Happy thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Random

How was your week? I got back to work for a few days here and there but I´m still definitely on vacation mode. I had the best holiday, both in the Riviera and on the island.

I can´t get over how refreshing it is to travel with your friends and to spend alone time with your spouse. It´s so rejuvenating. For me it´s always important that the girls have great plans too and are with people they love and feel comfortable with. So I can relax and enjoy my time without feeling guilty of being away. And the benefits always multiply. Even if it´s just a date night it´s so great to be reminded that you as a couple are just as good as you are a family with kids. My husband and I have been together for over 10 years now of which for over 7 we have had children. It´s still always good to know you are still you.

On our trip I had the most amazing birthday surprise day organised by my friend ( it started in St Tropez and ended in Monte Carlo) . I just enjoyed every moment with a wide beam on my face. On our trip we danced, we laughed, we cried happy tears and silly tears. We ate great food and drank a little too much wine ( but just enough). It was just one of those trips that feel like they lasted a lot longer than they did but at the same time you hoped they would never end. And you come out on the other side loving your friends even more than you did.
