FAQs

Favorite food?

Ugh it’s too difficult to choose! I’m a big pasta/Italian fan but I’m really trying to cut out my carbs and eat a bit more balanced diet.

Favorite movie?

Troy!! I’m not even kidding when I say I remember every-single-line of the almost 3 hour long movie. I’m a helpless romantic, but I don’t like any romance movies, weird right? They’re just too syrupy for me. I like action movies with a hint of love and Troy brings both action and love together and creates such an emotional and interesting movie.

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Hmm a night owl turned early bird! My baby wakes up every morning around 7am and that means my day starts at 7 too. Plus I’ve always liked getting things done earlier in the day so there’s more time for other stuff later in the day.

Dream destination?

Bora Bora, Bali, Fiji, Cayman Islands, Maldives… Any of those exotic islands that have an over the water -bungalow!

When did you move to the U.S.?

I moved here at the end of summer -16.

Favorite thing about America v. Finland?

I get to choose only one? Eeks. I think one of the best things about Finland is its safety, with regards to everything! You can trust the education you get is top-level, the crime rate is super low, and the food you put into your body is non-GMO and nutrient rich. And how could I not mention Fazer – the god of chocolate! What I love the most about America must be the meaning of family. Of course I can’t speak on behalf of every American family but just going off my own experiences. Anyway, here all the family members go to one’s football game to support and all holidays are big family events. I feel like in Finland people aren’t that connected and that’s super sad!

Any pet peeves?

I really don’t appreciate white lies! I’m super sneaky and usually find out about lies anyway.

Rude people! I know sometimes people just have a bad day, but I think it’s so important to always be nice to others and have the ability to step in their shoes before making quick judgements.

Happy Valentine’s Day from me and my three princ Happy Valentine’s Day from me and my three princes!🤴🏼💗 We’re here in Florida at Walt Disney World because we wanted to have one last super special trip with Jussi while he was still our only child. My sweet little baby Jussi, I love you so much - to infinity and beyond💙 (Toy Story is his fav movie right now haha). Being your mama is the absolute best thing I’ve ever experienced in my whole life. The joy of being a mother is so pure, breathtaking, and inspiring. I love you, my little Jussi, with a higher love given from God up above. And the love your little innocent heart has for us is so magnificent that it could move mountains. It breaks me in so many (good) ways and heals me to be even stronger. Being a mama really means to live with your heart outside of your body. I’m so thankful, honored, and forever humbled that I get to see mine live in the TWO little boys (and their daddy🤍) and I would never take it back ❤️ #valentines #mybabyboy #myfirstborn
Today marks one of the absolute highlights of our Today marks one of the absolute highlights of our life, because my so incredible and beyond brilliant husband got into his dream DOCTORATE program! You were meant for something magnificent, Dr. Tim😍 I am in absolute awe of this man. He’s the most hardworking person I’ve ever seen and his devotion to everything he decides to do is something I’ve never seen before. What makes it all so beautiful is his love for his family, for us. There’s literally nothing he wouldn’t do to make sure our future is as bright as we dream it to be. And I’m not talking about career wise only. This man always puts our marriage first and every day of our marriage he’s treated me like a flower. We know our love is so divine and special and we both work to ensure that in this ugly world, it stays that way. I know our sons will be loving and dedicated husbands because they see their daddy love their mama so much🤍 His determination to be the best dad and role model for Jussi and baby brother is so powerful it moves mountains. He leads them to be great men, and I can’t wait until they can watch their daddy walk the stage as a DOCTOR and chant him on on the day of his graduation😭And when I say he loves us, he loves himself too. Getting his doctorate is something that we planned for years ago, because the desire and ambition to reach his full potential has always been there. I’m so happy to see him full of passion and fire and get where he wants to be as a man. And I couldn’t be more thankful to call him my husband. I can’t believe how blessed our family is.🤍 Baby, I’m so honored to stand by you the way you’ve stood by me. I’m so in love with you. I promise to be there for you through every storm and sunshine on this journey. Beaming with pride, now and always. I’ll forever be your number one fan🤍
FIGHT ON!✌️ @uscedu #proudwife #trojanpride #symbolofsuccess

MERRY CHRISTMAS from me and mine to you and yours! MERRY CHRISTMAS from me and mine to you and yours!❤️ #christmastime #allthatiwant #mostwonderfultimeoftheyear
God knows how much I love the men in my life, so h God knows how much I love the men in my life, so he wanted to bless us with another little BOY!💙 Tears run down my cheeks every time I think of Jussi’s little brother and how honored I am to be having another son for my husband. Raising men is truly such a high calling. I pray my sons will be strong and courageous, standing up for those who need it. That they’ll also know how to love fiercely and have gentle & loving hearts. I pray they’ll always have a spirit of respect and kindness in everything they do. That they’ll speak their truth and stand behind their actions and words. I pray my boys will be noble and godly men who persevere even when life throws them their toughest challenges. But most of all, I pray that my sons will know their heritage. Not only both of their home countries and the amazing qualities they have, but also the heritage of their forefathers - on both sides. If they’ll have even an ounce of the discipline, ambition, and hard-workiness that their father, grand-fathers, and other men in the family have then I know I’ve done my job as a mother. My sweet Jussi and baby brother, äiti loves you until the day I leave this earth and forever after that🤍
