BABY

February 3, 2019

It is time to reveal our little secret, since the ”secret” just keeps on growing! Yes that is me in the picture and yes, we are having a baby! If everything goes well, we will become parents to our first-born in early April. These past months have been life changing and beautiful, the slow realisation of it all and the reaction of our families have been absolutely fantastic. We have grown immensely during this time and the best part is that this journey has only barely just begun.

Not gonna lie, it’s not all fun and jolly, though. There have been a few sleepless nights since this kid seems to have some serious kicks and moves in him. I guess that’s what you get when you decide to have a baby with a footballer!

PS. I haven’t talked about this earlier, since this account does not focus on my family life, even though I touch that topic every now and then. That being said, I won’t turn this account into another “baby fanatic mom” -diary, so don’t you worry!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

December 23, 2018

Last few weeks have been really hectic, thanks to work related things and due to the fact that we sold our apartment. Next year will be really interesting, lots of nice things coming up! One of them being the search for a new apartment, we need to find a new place before the end of March.

Knowing our taste, finding a new place is not going to be easy. Finding a perfect renovation project in 3 months might be impossible. But if that happens, we might even rent a place until we find the “right one”. I just wanna get my hands on a new project and get you along the ride as well!

But now it´s time to sit back and relax with all the chocolates and other treats (and maybe gain a little weight, but who cares!). All is well at the moment, merry christmas to you all <3

APARTMENT

November 24, 2018

Finally it´s time introduce our home to you, so…welcome! This apartment is located in Southern Helsinki and it was built in 1908. We renovated it 3,5 years ago with love and passion, respecting the old style and spirit this place has. It was not a small project, because we wanted to focus on every detail, but it definitely was worth it, because we love the outcome.

I love the old wooden floor that snaps and crackles under my feet and the old tile stove that gives us warmth during the winter months. I love the high rooms and the high windows with deep ledges. I don´t know what it is about these old Jugend-style houses, but to me they are just magical. And of course I love marble countertops that we installed into the kitchen. Actually I love everything in this apartment.

Unfortunately every good story has an ending and so does this one. Because now it´s time for us to put our precious home for sale. Selling our home is a tough but a necessary decision, because we need a bigger, more spacious apartment for the future.

More about that later…now it is time to let the pictures speak for themselves! What do you think?

You’ll find more pictures here.
