I was trying to find a sink for our bathroom. I finally got around to buying the grey paint for the cabinets, but now I need a sink. Then I came across these beautiful yoga pictures, and I had to share them with you. I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. I’ll enjoy another day off tomorrow, and maybe go to an amusement park with the kids.

Mother’s Day – Finding the perfect gift
I’ve collected a few things, which I hope can inspire you or your family (as well as my own of course) to get the perfect Mother’s Day gift. The day is pretty special around our house.
The kids love making breakfast and decorating the table. We do the same on Father’s Day, in case you were wondering. But this year, I’ll be spending Mother’s Day in a tent serving breakfast for hundreds of soccer kids, so I guess it’ll be a Mother’s Day lunch instead.

A yoga moment
This past weekend I attended a yoga class – which was amazing. I hadn’t been on the mat since Easter, and I needed the break. I’ve been dreaming about buying some new clothes for class, and I’ve got my heart set on some nice things from Zara. I really like their gym collections, and I’ve bought quite a few things for the kids as well.
1. Yoga bag
2. Yoga Poncho Sweatshirt
3. Yoga socks
4. Yoga jumpsuit
5. Yoga bodystocking
6. Yoga top
Using kitchen cabinets in my boy’s room
I’ve finally decided on a storage solution in my boy’s room. I was really getting tired of all the open storage solutions in there. It was rather stressful cleaning his room, because everything was always visible.
This Sunday my husband (and I, I did help) got some Method wall cabinets from Ikea in different sizes. A few years back, I saved a few pictures with kitchen cabinets used in a boy’s room. I loved the solution then, and I haven’t found one quite as good since. So now I guess it was time to put it in to action in my own home.
Another advantage about picking this solution is that I can always style his room according to his age. I’ve been wanting to create some solutions that’ll grow with him. Then I can just change the smaller things in there to fit his age.
This is what the room that inspired me looked like in the beginning. It was pretty much the look I was going for. It’s the perfect way to hide all the toys and clothes, and it adds a much calmer effect to the whole room. The next two photos, I want to show you, are from a styling Riikka and Emma did for the Danish brand ferm living. The room is still the same, but by changing the smaller interior pieces in the room, it looks like a different room. This is the kind of room I would love to work with, when it comes to matching my boy’s age.
So what do you think? Would you ever consider using kitchen wall cabinets in your kids’ room?
I’m in the middle of sorting and putting some of his stuff away. But I’ll show you some pictures when the wall is done. Do remember to check out Espresso Moments on Instagram – I might put up a picture or two there as well.

Get ready for Easter – DIY projects
This year my husband and I have invited my whole family for Easter lunch.
Since my grandfather passed away last Christmas, I wanted the whole family to get together even more. We’re the only ones left, and I want us to stay close and be in each others lives. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about my grandfather – I miss him so much – but this way I know he and my grandmother would be proud.
I’m trying to plan which dishes to make, but I’ve still got a long way to go. Instead I started looking at DIY projects for Easter. I know the kids will love making hama bunny’s and decorate Easter eggs.
I’ve collected some of my favourite Easter DIY projects. I hope you and your family will have a fun time while making decorations for the Easter table.
For more Easter inspiration you can always visit my Easter board on Pinterest. I’ll collect many more ideas there in the coming days. So stay tuned for even more Easter fun.

A few things for my spring wardrobe
I’m a fall/winter kind of girl – no doubt about it. I feel comfortable in knee-long dresses and a cozy cardigan. I almost never wear high heels, and I would pick a pair of sneakers or other similar comfortable shoes any day.
I’ve got my fall/winter wardrobe pretty much sorted out, however when it comes to spring/summer, well I really need to step it up a bit. If not now, then at least I need something to wear on our trip to Mallorca later this year.
I’ve put together a few things, which you’ll find on my current wishlist/spring shopping list.
