We have such insurance at Tapiola and I am really glad we did it. The time it takes to get a doctor appointment at the terveysasema is often just too long - especially if it is not an urgent case, plus when it is private we get to choose the doctor. Even a generally healthy child often ends up going...

Perhaps Im a terrible mom but I can't stand being at home for so long ! :D It doesn't turn you into a terrible mom at all and it doesn't mean you love your child any tiny bit less if you wish to have some time for yourself or feel you can't stand being at home for so long (respect for managing to d...

I was asking about it nearly two years ago and what I found out is that at least at that time there was no company in Finland doing it commercially. Only thing they do is sometimes (and only in some places) collect it to the Finnish Cord Blood Bank, and then it is more or less as donation - you do n...

Hi Sharon :wink: I stopped mashing T's food already 2-3 months ago, he doesn't need it anymore. It might apply to D as well. Concerning recipes - basicly at this age he can just eat the same as you, cut in smaller pieces of course. Salt is also not a problem (at least as long as the food is not extr...

we might be able to make it to hoplop tomorrow (have to drive to the area anyway) - you can call me/text when you know if and when you are going. In case I don't see you - happy birthday to Isabella!

Miti.

12.30 at the metro station is fine with me (but if there are others coming who prefer 12:00 it's ok as well).

See you then!

Miti.

Unless there are some last minute changes T and I would love to come. Do we meet at your place or at the playground? (if at the playground - could you pm me where exactly it is?)

thanks,

Miti.

and you also have to be covered by Kela in order to get it. Good luck with your pregnancy!

I would also want to join (as long as it is not between 15-20.5, because then I am not in Finland). It is such a pity you are moving away

Poule, the part I don't understand about 'real Laps' is whether you mean Sami or Finns from Lapland, people who just really love Lapland... well, whatever you might mean with that, at least now it is more clear what you are looking for (and it seems to me that you would be looking for both foreigner...

hi miti, It was not ment to sound bad, just I thought that you came from Lapland? no offence ment. During the past weeks reading the topics I really cant find what I am looking for. And most of the time I cant get a senceable answer. I am looking for infomation on the Topic Lapland. As I am going t...

Hi miti, But if one was to bring work there... Would the real Lapp.s go back to live there. What would you do in that case? Poule I have actually no idea what you mean by the sentence "Would the real Lapp.s go back to live there" but as for me - yes, with a secure and interesting job I wo...

Marianne, Ramona and Hannah - I have sent you a pm with the directions how to get to our place. If anyone else wants to join you are very welcome. Almost forgot - in case your kids like to hang outside you can bring with you waterproof clothing etc. - we have a small garden (which can be completely ...

I lived in Lapland for a while (Rovaniemi) and I loved it. If it would be possible I would stay there forever, but we had to move to the South because of the job - it is hard enough for locals to find job there, and even harder for foreigners. For those who love big cities it is definitely not the r...
