Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

For 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It’s like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world’s lowest infant mortality rates.

It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it’s designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they’re from, an equal start in life.

The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers.

It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress.

With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby’s first bed. Many children, from all social backgrounds, have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.

Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it’s worth much more.

The tradition dates back to 1938. To begin with, the scheme was only available to families on low incomes, but that changed in 1949.

These always made me sad. Every time something was wrong with Castiel, no one cared, or listen to him. But there were so many times Dean would be like “Cass, help me. You have to help me!”

No one ever cares about Cass.

My friend asked me why I keep wanting to dress up as male characters. For Comic Con 2014 I want to dress like White Ranger from the Mighty Morphing Power Ranger (when he was dressed like a ninja in the movie), but thought it was too hard to do (I’m just starting to sew).

And now I want to dress like The Once-ler…Is there something wrong with the fact that I’m a girl and what to be boy characters?

I wonder where everyone's from. Put your URL next to your state/country.

Oh my gosh. You can hear him put on the flippin’ glasses….

You can hear his chain jingle any time he moves O.O

I love that they put so much effort into the sounds, even when knowing the sounds wouldn’t be heard over the music. I can’t get over the chains, the sunglasses.

Actually now that I’ve heard this, I can hear the chains and the subtle sounds in the actual movie.

I starting crying while reading the first letter, but the suicide letter hit me so hard. These might all be made up characters, but the world of Harry Potter, and everyone in the books are real, they are in my heart, and even when re-reading the books, I cry as hard as I did the first time I read them.

I’ve seen a lot of this guy and his good deeds on my dashboard. It got me curious as to who he is.

I did a little research and found out that his name is Andrew Ducote.

He no longer works for Disneyland on a count of the fact that they didn’t want him playing Peter Pan anymore because he was getting wrinkles under his eyes. They offered him another job at the park but he refused. He liked being Peter Pan and he didn’t want another position.

He ended up getting married to a girl named Hali Gaskins who played Wendy at the park.

His twitter.

I know that I can’t be the only one who was curious about him. Hence this post.

How ironic that Peter Pan got fired for growing up

He’s also got a tumblr if you guys didn’t know
