MAGICAL MONDAY

July 20, 2020 Beach
So based on my social media, I’m the only person who missed National Ice Cream Day yesterday?! Naturally, I wanted to fix that given that it gave me the perfect excuse to get ice cream, haha. We decided to drive to Newport Beach since I also wanted to go check out their LoveShackFancy store, and Newport Beach just happens to be one of my favorites beaches!

Mun somen mukaan olin varmaan ainoa joka missasi eilisen kansallisen jäätelöpäivän (jep, täällä on kaikennäköisiä kansallispäiviä xD) !? Luonnollisesti meidän oli pakko korjata tilanne ja niinpä päätettiin metsästää täydellinen jäätelöpaikka jostain. Olin jo aikasemmin viime viikolla sanonut, että haluaisin mennä Newport Beachille kurkistamaan LoveShackFancyn uutta kauppaa joten suuntasimme sinne.

We had such a perfect day! It was hot outside, but not like you’re drenched in sweat – just the perfect warm beach weather. Before we got to the actual beach itself, we stopped at Milk & Cookies to get the ice cream and oh boy how delicious their ice creams were! In addition to the ice cream, you got to choose one of their freshly-made, warm cookies to go with the ice cream. I was in dessert heaven 🙂

Meillä oli jälleenkerran kerrassaan täydellinen päivä. Sää olli täydellinen rantakeli – ei niin kuuma että hikoisi, mutta merituuli ei ollut kylmä ollenkaan. Ennen kuin menimme itse biitsille, pysähdyimme Milk&Cookies kiskassa hakemaan jätskit. Jäätelön lisäksi saimme valita uunituoreen ja lämpimän keksin, nam!

We weren’t planning on going to walk at the beach, but after walking around the boardwalk and pier, we decided to get our feet wet anyway! And I’m so glad we did. Hubby and I have felt so bad that we haven’t taken our little love to the beach more often. A few weeks ago was the second time that Jussi had been on the sand and you could tell he was so confused, haha. After that we made a promise to take him there so that he’d learn to love the beach! Today he was so happy to be able to “swim”. He was just dancing in the water and splashing his little hand whenever a new wave came. He’s just the sweetest little boy! He waves at not only every person who walks by, but also all the birds and dogs!! <3 Literally every time he saw a bird we had to stop to wave at it. My sweet little love <3

Aluksi emme suunnitelleet rannalle menoa, mutta rantakadulla ja laiturilla käppäilyn jälkeen ranta ja lämmin merivesi kuulosti tosi hyvältä! Onneksi menimmekin – Jussi oli niin hurjan iloinen temmeltäessän vedessä. Muutama viikko sitten meitä harmitti Timin kanssa kun emme olleet oikeen ottaneet kaikkea iloa irti Losin upeista rannoista ja vienyt Jussia niihin. Kuukausi-kaksi sitten Jussi oli toista kertaa rannalla ikinä ja sen kyllä huomasi, haha. Pieni höpsö oli aika ihmeissään. Tänään rannalla hän tunnisti jo paikan ja tanssi niin iloisena kun uusi aalto tuli ja huuhtoi pienet varpaat hiekkaan <3 Jussi vilkutti jokaiselle linnulle ja koiralle jonka näki rannalla – ihmisten lisäksi <3 Kävelimme rantaviivaa pitkin ja kirjaimellisesti joka ikinen lokki joka lensi ohi sai ison vilkutuksen ja “hiiii!” Jussilta. Minun suloinen pieni prinssini <3

After the swim and walking along the shore, we headed to our local grocery store and then home! Tomorrow’s gonna be a super duper DUPER exciting day for me – make sure to follow me on Insta so you won’t miss out on the (exclusive 😉 ) fun… !

Uinnin jälkeen suuntasimme ruokakaupan kautta kotiin. Huomenna mulla on ihan super jännittävä juttu tiedossa – pidä huoli, että seuraat mua Instassa niin et missaa sitä…!

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🤍
