This is how digital invitations were born In 2021, my friend's son was graduating from high school and was wondering how he could get the invitations out to his guests quickly. Graduations are usually announced less than 2 months before the party, so there's not much time to make arrangements. My friend thought that designing, printing, and mailing the invitations sounded time-consuming, but a simple text message would be boring and very mundane considering the nature of the party. My friend and I were thinking about how we could make a beautiful invitation that could be sent quickly and easily. She asked me to design an invitation template, and I thought about how to make it in a convenient shape...
My story in a nutshell In the latest issue of the magazine Multiple Families, I briefly talk about my own motherhood. However, the main focus of the article is on the birth of twins and the complications that preceded it. Becoming a mother at a young age, a new family, a large family, a family of multiples and becoming a mother again in my forties... to twins! Quite a roller coaster ride where "a weaker person would be terrified", but for me this has become my own beloved, rich and sometimes also difficult everyday life. So many feelings are intertwined in these years that have shaped me into the person I am now, humble but determined in the face of...
I thought for a long time about what to do with this angel birth poster. The subject matter around it touches me in so many ways. Losing your own child is the greatest tragedy in life, and that's why talking about it feels difficult. Although I haven't experienced the greatest of sorrows myself, I've had to live with the thought during my twin pregnancy, when the prognosis for the girls' survival seemed very poor at times. A multiple pregnancy is a risk, but it's also such a life-changing experience that many people seek out the company of others in a similar situation. Peer support has never been more important to me than when I was expecting our twins. Even though...
A birth poster is a decorative poster developed by a Swedish mother that allows us to immortalize the birth details of our child as part of our home decor. With the poster, we can always return to that fleeting moment when the child was a newborn, the small beginning of life. The baby in the poster has been deliberately made very expressionless and simplified so that it can represent every baby, reflecting and emphasizing their size at birth. Although the baby in the picture is universal, it is still very personal to the recipient because it is scaled 1:1 to the child's birth length. Under the picture, everyone can add other birth information such as weight, birthday, date of birth...
Even though I wasn't born with a very good maths head, I know that 1+1=6 sounds crazy, but sometimes numbers do somersaults. Since I'm good at explaining, I'll explain to you why 1+1=6 and finally, a new product called Dreaming of Veevi . It was early 2019 when I was hospitalized due to a high-risk pregnancy. I was expecting our twin girls, as was coincidentally my hospital bed neighbor Kata. We were united by worry and sadness about the future when there was not much hope for a happy ending. Twin parents have an amazing ability to cheer each other on, and at this moment I really needed that. I don't remember exactly how many days we lay in adjacent...
