Hello, my dear friends. Today I am posting here a story, which I didn’t share before on any of my channels. I was also bullied at school like many other kids. However I should say, that it was pretty mild, so I consider myself to be lucky. I remembered about this experience as my daughter…

Women are the natural masters of self-isolation
This phrase struck me as soon as I’ve heard it from someone. It is so true, even if we all complain about being stuck with kids at home during the pandemic, any mother could relate, that it is not uncommon for us to stay for weeks without going out. Let me give you an example….
Quarantine life update: what changed so far
Hello, my dear friends. Hope you are doing fine and you are healthy. We are still staying home, and I assume it will take us another month, before we really begin living ‘as usual’ (still with social distancing obviously). I just wanted to share some of the small changes, that I had in the last…
Waiting for a big shutdown
I decided to write a second blog post today as the other one I prepared beforehand and it shows only one side of my mood at the moment. The truth is that I am still shocked and confused about the world situation at the moment. Berlin is officially shutting down and closing everything, except for…
My life at the moment: delays, cancellation of plans. Virus spreading in Germany
Hello, my dear readers. We are at this annoying stage, when everything is put on hold, and I am sure it is like this for the most of the world now. What you see on the news: virus, closing of borders between the countries. It might sound like it is something, that does not concern…
Stay at home mom…It is my choice
Hello, my dear friends. I feel that I haven’t posted anything personal for a while. Honestly our last week was horrible, me and my daughter suddenly got very sick. She is almost recovered now, I am annoyingly still not quite there. We literally spent almost 6 days at home, also partly because of typical Berlin…
Is our family ‘less German’? Multilingual family in Berlin
Hello, dear friends. Today I will just leave a small trace of my existence in this blog. My daughter is again in one of those periods, when she wants me to hug her and sleep with her all night through. This also concerns her day naps as well. My productivity level is zero and I…
How the WW2 still affects us…literally// We got evacuated
Hello, my dear readers. Since I am back to Berlin, things haven’t been really steady here. Constantly trying to get back to the regular regime, but it really doesn’t seem to work. For example, this evening went really different from the usual. And all “thanks” to the Second World War. Yes, literally. Living in Berlin…
Back to the roots: Final post
Hello, today I’m writing my post from the airport after a sleepless night due to a long, rather inconvenient flight connection. My daughter and husband ran off somewhere (she is getting restless), and I just woke up after accidentally falling asleep at the cafe table. What a night! I decided that there should be a…
Back to the roots: Day 12 What I like about living in Russia (compared to Germany)
Hello, my dear friends. My stay in Russia is slowly coming to the end, unfortunately. I have less than a week here and I know that this time will fly very quick. I decided to make this post in contrast to many other things people say about living in Russia. Obviously, there are many drawbacks…
