How I spent my summer
Here in Finland summer season ends in August. Offices are back to business, schools and kindergartens open their doors for a new scholastic year. Do you remember, how your school year usually started? In Ukraine school always starts on September 1st. For me this time of the year still means more new resolutions and ideas then in December. I really liked going to school and was waiting for it nearly the whole summer. It meant new subjects, experiences, happenings. Maybe even n

Our "Inventor" = Meidän "Keksiä"
When we started this poster project, we were looking for a suitable name. It wasn't very easy, since there were a lot of factors involved. And of course, it's such a responsibility to name a business. In a way it's like naming your child! So after few months of struggling and long lists of options, we still had no name. Our daughter started to say her first words back then. And since she really likes cookies, one of the first words was a Finnish word "Keksi" (eng. cookie). Sh

What’s a perfect family home like?
Here's me again exploring the world of blogging. When thinking what to write about, I obviously choose topics that are close to my heart. And of course, lately I'm having a lot of thoughts on parenting. Please note, that I have no intention of giving any kind of advice through my posts. I am telling my stories by bringing together thoughts, that concern being a parent in Finland in the 2020's and memories from being a child in Ukraine in the 90's. Lately we all spend a lot of

One more about the bicycle
Now it feels that summer is so close. And as aт "everything under control" kind of mom, I'm trying to be completely ready for the new season: clothes, shoes, hats, toys, etc. Soon Em is turning 2 and we are considering getting her a two wheel "potkupyörä" (fin. potku=kick, pyörä=wheel). Picture below for those, who don't know what it is. It's ф tiny bicycle with no pedals. Suitable for toddlers before they grow big enough for an ordinary bicycle. So here I am with a handful o

What was your favorite moment today?
Today is our #keksipiste family's birthday! 3 years ago we got married and 7 years ago we've met and started our journey together. Back then I was a student and he was unemployed. We were so free and easygoing. He saw me dancing on a dance floor and came to talk. I fell in love first, very fast. Now I remember two things that made me fall in love: a) I have a habit of cleaning the kitchen after cooking and before starting to eat. That makes me enjoy the food more and feel mor

"Teach everything you can"
I assume it's clear, that we at keksipiste.com are not a big company or a famous brand. We are just a family with a cool idea. Well, we think it's cool. We are doing many things for the first time and we are learning a lot. Blogging is also completely new to me. So of course, I had to check a couple of sites for advice. When you are an architect, you write mostly technical texts, e-mails to engineers and city councils. When you are a blogger, what do you write about? Well, on

The first one was “Circle”
Hello! This is my first post on Keksipiste blog! So here's a bit about who I am. By day and night I’m an architect, a mom of a super active 1,5 year old and a wife to a super fun 35 year old. Oh, and also by late night, I’m an artist. Always wanted to be an artist. Went to an art school between age of 8 and 13. My super-smart mom told me then, that I can always be an artist, no matter what profession I choose. About 20 years later I learnt that most of architects wanted to be
