a day in the life of a latvian mom

Sunday was a family day — we went to visit my brother because it was his birthday!

We decided to make a little adventure out of it and headed to the Purezers Nature Trail. It sounded like the perfect place for a forest walk after birthday cake and shashlik!

Except… there had been a bear visiting the trail recently. And apparently, people had actually seen it there before — just not today.

Wait… what?! 😂

So instead of happily wandering through the woods, enjoying the trees and taking our time, we suddenly became very aware of every. single. sound. around us.

Let’s just say our nature walk was a little less “peaceful forest stroll” and a lot more “Are we absolutely sure this is a good idea?” 😂

Still, it was a lovely day — and definitely a birthday visit we won’t forget! ❤️
