My son has had about 5 hours of outdoor time today. The older boys from next door let him help build their snow fort, kept him busy for another two hours in the afternoon 😂

We've finally had some real snow, which is a godsend as I'm solo parenting for most of the week. So far today, we've been to the shop with the sledge and stopped by the sledging hill on the way home. Then we got back and all the neighbourhood kids were outside so my son stayed out to play. Hours of free, wholesome entertainment 👌

Back in Finland ❄️ #GM

When the flight arrives two hours late and the luggage is taking forever

My sister and I have finally come to an agreement about who is our parents' favourite child, and I'm sorry to say it's my husband 😂

Traditional Boxing Day outing to feed the ducks in the village 🦆

Our big Christmas Eve family gathering made me feel really thankful for this window in time. My grandma is still here. The children are finally the perfect age to play together. And everyone managed to be in the same place at the same time, if just for a day. We are truly fortunate ❤️

GM and Merry Christmas, dear Nostr friends ❤️ Wishing you and your family health and happiness and every good thing 🙏🌟

My traditional mince pies are a bit higgeldy-piggeldy this year, but the pastry is one of the best I've ever made (rough puff with half lard, half butter) 👌

Chase is, quite literally, on the case 😂

Fun fact, my husband's cousin is a former Miss Finland and is currently receiving hate messages because people are confusing her with the other Miss Finland who is currently causing a big scandal in the news 🙈

Apparently quite a lot of snow fell while I was in Helsinki 😅 It's normally a bit colder out here than in the city

Today there was an Anglican carol service in Helsinki cathedral, so I went there together with my session friend It felt lovely to sing the familiar favourites again And the Senate Square looked beautiful, despite the weather ⛪️🌟
