Spring is in the Air

I have been hearing rumors and even seen some photos shared on facebook that there is snow in Minnesota. I’m hoping that it might have melted by the time I come. Spring is in the air here in my kitchen. The cranes have returned and can be seen flying over the house and feeding in […]

Rustic Knots with Dandelion or Nettle

I believe it was my Cousin that once posted on facebook a comment by a child that stopped me to think that everything really depends on perspective. When driving past a field of Dandelions that were in the white seed head stage, her son had exclaimed, “Look Mom, a field full of wishes!” It brought […]

Rise and Shine

I was quite sure we would still have snow on the first of May, but thankfully I was wrong. We had an exceptionally long winter with night time temperatures that really dipped and kept the scenery white. I went skiing for the last time about three weeks ago on the lake. The lakes are still […]

Tulips of Spring

Just a little over a month ago, the mornings were pitch black and I would have lanterns outside burning throughout the day and night. The hours of actual daylight were quite short and it sometimes seemed like it was challenging to take pictures. By the time everything was ready the light would be gone! Although […]

This is how it often is. Nursing one baby and the other waits their turn and one of the other kids joins in by sitting or laying on you☺️ the babies turned 5 months and and I turned 40. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that...I feel like I’m 27. But these babies have been the best 40th birthday present ever❣️#40isthenew30 #twinlife #lifeasitis #monikkoarki #monikkoperheet #kaksoset2019 #vauvaarki #suurperheenelämää #wouldntchangeathing #intensebutrewarding #nursingtwo #breastfeedingmama
Midsummers. When I first moved to Finland I wondered why the whole country stops and leaves for vacation during midsummers and July. Now I understand. It is the moment that everyone waits for through the long dark winter. Nature has suddenly come alive. Every ditch is full of delicate blooms and the light hardly ceases even if it is night. It is like the whole country barely sleeps anymore. You just might witness as one goes rowing on the lake in the quiet of the night surrounded only by the cacophony of song birds and another is picking flowers in a light summer dress and rubber boots and the light is ethereal. That is the essence of midsummers. ✨ #summerlight #landofthemidnightsun #juhannus #midsummer #summersolstice #wildflowers #wildvegetation #songbirds #natureatitsfinest #wildlupine #flowersfordays #wildblooms #visitkouvola #kymeenlaakso #countrysideliving #countrylandscapes
Sweet and intense parenthood. ❤️💙Newborn baby time is always intense even with just one baby, but it is doubly so now. And doubly precious as well. And they seem to grow in our eyes. This picture is from a couple of weeks ago and they have changed a bit already and their personalities are starting appear a bit more everyday. #livingthemoment #cherisheachmoment #theyareonlylittleonce #twinbabies #boygirltwins #twinlife #babylife
Flavors from near and far. The whitefish which belongs to the salmon family and is full of those wonderful omega 3s, was locally caught by my husband. It was quickly covered in a coat of rye flour and salt before pan frying. And the side of quinoa has Middle Eastern vibes, seasoned with cumin, coriander, olives and dates. Perfectly delicious Easter fare. Happy Easter 🐣 #crosscultural #cuisine #wildfood #wildfish #whitefish #traditionalfinnishfood #middleeasternvibes
Yesterday was a memorable day as two special people said their vows. E❤️L Congratulations to you both, May your future together be full of love and happiness ❤️ They were married in the beautiful old stone church built in the early 1400’s. #pyhänbirgitankirkko #keepsakemoments #marriedforlife #loveisintheair #oldchurches #churcharchitecture
Our beach. Usually by May the ice will have left and the kids might go for a dip just few days after when the water is only about +4C 🥶 Spring is definitely on its way, the cranes and swans have returned. #landscapes #finland #lappalanjärvi #visitkouvola #springiscoming #mindscapes #outdoorfinland #instaphotography
Baby smiles. ❤️💙 the scent and expressions of a newborn. Soft skin. New little people with their own distinct personality. We’ve spent the past week getting to know these littles. They made it full term and were born at 38+2 and both were over 3kg. Grateful that it all went so well although the little mister decided to spice things up the night before delivery and flipped around providing Mom with a new experience of breech delivery. Thankful for experienced doctors and midwives, it all went quite smooth. #magicaltime #twins #boygirltwins #babiesfordays #thebestmoments
Welcome little ones. ❤️💙I wonder about your nature, although I do have slight inclinations just from the way you move now. One is really active still doing somersaults at almost week 38 and the other is a little bit calmer. It could be any hour, day or week. You keep me in suspense. ✨ #twinpregnancy #twinbabybump #babies #welcomeanytime #wereallwaiting
Fifth of February. And the day Finland celebrates Runeberg, a lyric and epic poet. And the stores and bakeries are full of his signature tart, created by his wife. Today I tried my hand at it as well. It was the first time baking in nearly two months. Hubby is recovering slowly but surely and we feel lucky that he is in as good shape as he is. 💛 #dayatatime #giftoflife #runeberg #runebergintorttu #runebergtart
The landscape is snowy white. And inside we still have the remnants of Christmas that will soon have to go and wait until next time. This year the holiday season was unlike any other. It really was a reminder of the preciousness of life. And little by little @pohjolan_metsamies is regaining strength even if it is still a long road ahead. Thank you to all who have remembered us❤️ #giftoflife #nordicwinter #snowylandscape
