Jacadi love

by Sofia   -   in Blog collaboration  Good things for kids  Shopping

We were on a lookout for a new winter coat for Bubble Gum. The girls actually fit their woollen coats and their short down jackets they use for school etc. but her long navy down coat had gotten small on her. Cotton Candy had a new one last year and hers was the perfect size now. So we had to find one for Bubble Gum! And we did find the perfect one from Jacadi! It has a fleece lining, it has a ( fake) fur lined hood and the hood has ( fake) fur around it too. It is warm and beautiful and has small golden polka dots on it. You may have seen this one on Instagram already on a few occasions. I got a lot of DM messages about it when it was featured on the stories. It was the coat of her dreams and you can tell. She wants to wear it all the time even though it´s not very cold yet. But then you can just wear something light underneath so it works out well. We also got a gorgeous outfit for school for Cotton Candy that I will share on another post.

Hyvää isänpäivää

by Sofia   -   in Random

Hyvää isänpäivää loistaville vanhemmille. Toiselle isyys on iltasatuja ja halauksia, toiselle purkkapussista jakamista autossa matkalla harratuksiin useampana päivänä viikossa. Isyys on läsnä hampaanpesussa ja isyys on läsnä lääkärin odotushuoneessa. Isyys on kunnioitusta toista vanhempaa kohtaan, esimerkkinä olemista. Isyys on inhimillistä erehtymistä ja virheiden myöntämistä. Isyys on rauhallista lähestymistä ongelmatilanteissa. Isyys on rajoja. Luottamista. Rakkautta. Huolenpitoa. Läsnäoloa. Hassuttelua. Tukea. Vanhemmuutta. Isät on ihan sankareita! Varsinkin sunnuntaina! Hyvää isänpäivää omalle isälle, lasteni isälle ja kaikille huippu isille ja isähahmoille!

Hyvää viikonloppua,

Lattemamma

New home

by Sofia   -   in Interior design

You asked me about the new house and to include you a little bit in on our process. We are not renovating it ourselves but have  a professional crew doing it on our behalf so I don´t have any neat renovation tricks to share but I can tell you a little about what I have planned for the house. Most likely I have to let go of a few of my dreams as there is a budget that is not endless. But luckily a house can always be added on to later on if one feels like it.

The new one will have basically the same elements as this one. Two bathrooms, a dining room, a living room and a separate kitchen. This new apartment has one extra room so in the future the girls have their own rooms. I also get to fulfil another dream of mine and get a large pantry in my kitchen with glass doors to the kitchen. It even has a large window and a place for a breakfast table. A dream come true!

In the future the girls will share a bathroom and in there, behind closing doors we also have our laundry “wall” ( instead of a separate room). My husband and I share an en suite bathroom with a bathtub and a shower that you get to from our bedroom by walking through our dressing room ( walk in closet if you may).

The building is late 1800´s and our apartment has some gorgeous old features like original doors, fishbone parquet and a green tiled Jugend style fire place that is in fact working! We will restore the apartment in the style of that era, very much so as we did on our current one. I hope it will turn out as lovely as it is in my mind. The colour scheme we will keep light and airy but with added warm touches of blue, grey and gold. That also draws from the colour schemes of that time. Obviously also from what we like. This time it looks likely we will be using a bit of wallpaper. But mostly something that looks time appropriate for that era.
