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…

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…

Hello, my dear friends. Before putting my daughter to sleep I saw something interesting, an old cloth hanger, that was owned by my uncle. It could be a pretty trivial thing to write about, but nothing is as simple as it seems. My uncle died around 1997, when I was still a child. He was…

Hello, my dear friends. We are currently in a post-new-year mood, all the main shops are closed until tomorrow, also a play room unfortunately. You could think, where can one go, when all the shops are closed in Russia. The answer is simple: go to the local market! In my hometown the market consists of…

Hello, dear friends. Hope you had a nice celebration and landed smoothly into 2020 🙂For me this time was one of the most relaxing and cosy celebrations. Maybe you can’t even call it a celebration 😀. I put my daughter to sleep as usual, it just took a bit longer because she could hear the…

Hello, my dear friends. We were very busy again, had another kid party (this time at the kids club), really exciting for our little one. Yesterday I also went out for a couple of hours to meet my old friends and it was very fascinating as well. One of the questions my friend asked yesterday…

Hello, I know I skipped a day or two here, but I was just too busy and did not want to force a blog post. The title of this blog post might sound stupid: what could really happen on a simple public transport ride with a child? I thought the same, I mean I go…

Yesterday I completely forgot to post here, but to be honest I didn’t have time at all. We were hosting a little birthday party, and I was busy cooking food. Normally I have a little break during my daughter’s nap, yesterday I spent this time frying chicken legs, cutting up vegies and all other things…

Today it takes me a lot of effort to write this post: my child is teething, it took me one hour to put her to sleep, just to hear her screams after less than 40 minutes. I keep coming back to finish writing this post and get interrupted immediately. The frustration is real. Last 2-3…
