Hello postcrossers :)

My name is Mia and I am a 51-year-old woman from Otalampi, Southern Finland. I work as a day care worker in kindergarten. I love children and everything connected with them :) I live in the countryside with my dear man. I have two children (daughter and son) and two stepdaughters. They are all living on their own and I'm really proud of them and they are all very dear to us <3 I love to spend time with my family :)

My favourite hobbies are reading, doing puzzles and diamond paintings. I love reading thrillers, crime, drama and romantic books. And I love going for a walk. I also like to watch TV-series and movies :)
