After spending some quality time in my hometown with my family, Janis took the girls and they went back home… and I stayed on my own in a quiet, tidy and homie caravan! ONE MY OWN for three days (for 3 1/2 days)!
Explanation: So, since I’m a mom, about 5 years and 11 months (almost 6 years already) I haven’t had a vacation! For me, vacation is more like one day and one night! And… haven’t had even that :)… You might think that maybe the birth of other two girl in a hospital might be some kind of vocation… well, maybe, but not in this case, cause I had planned homebirth (all my girls are homebirth). Haven’t been just two of as the same period.
So… this is HUGE! I’m so relaxed and so happy to spend some time with me! Alone! In our homie caravan… that is parked next to our old summer home (my brother with his family is moving in right now).
Actually, this is an old news, cause tomorrow night my girls and Janis will be with me again! Miss them but also I loved the time I had! No rush, no cooking (thank you mom!!!!) and babysitting! Sunbathing, drinking coffee & chat with my mom, book reading and photographing!
Imagine that!

a day in the life of a latvian mom 
Delighted you had that ‘break’. Three little ones all under 6 is quite a handful and as much as you love them you do need a break now and then. Glad to see tea and biscuits from Yorkshire are making a contribution :-).

Every mother needs a break now and then, sounds like you had a nice retreat to get restored:) Do you celebrate Mother’s Day in Latvia? We have Mother’s Day this Sunday, when we give gifts and cards to our mothers and maybe treat her to a nice meal💝

Fabulous! Isn’t it wonderful to spend some time alone. Too often we become Mom and forget about being ourselves. We need times like these to relax, rejuvenate and recharge. Sounds like you’re ready to tackle the world again.

I totally forgot about myself… really! Not like for few months or for few years, but for long 6 years! My first attempt to “get back” was in that day when I was having first face mask :)Here: https://latvianmom.com/2018/05/03/if-you-get-up-early/
