I unlocked a special badge:
“You’ve posted 200 days in a row on A Day in the Life of a Latvian Mom! Keep up the good work.”

Two hundred days of showing up, writing, and sharing life’s moments—big and small. Some days were easy, others a struggle, but I kept going. Along the way, I reconnected with old blogging friends and found new ones, making this journey even more meaningful.
Thank you all for being here, reading, commenting, and sharing this space with me. Special thanks to Derrick, John, Miranda, Jean, Deborah, Amy, Catherine, Deborah, Mimi and Andrea. Here’s to more stories ahead!
Kindly,
Ilze

Great job, Ilze! I think many people don’t know how much time and effort goes into running a blog, or website if you prefer. Happy weekend! And no trip to Riga.
Thank you! Yes, blogging takes a lot more time and effort than it seems—there’s always something to tweak or improve! Wishing you a wonderful week.
I have been trying to comment for days! I hope this works. Happy Belated Birthday. Your dinner sounded perfect, and congratulations on 200 posts!! I hope there are many more in store.
Thank you so much! I’m glad your comment finally went through—technology can be tricky sometimes! 😊 I appreciate the birthday wishes and kind words. Here’s to many more posts ahead! 🎉
I am too! It’s very frustrating not being able to comment on blog posts I follow via the email post or here in the WP reader.
I hope you and your little one are feeling better soon!
I know, it’s really frustrating when commenting doesn’t work smoothly! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a message despite that. Thank you for the kind wishes—I hope we’re both on the mend soon!
That’s wonderful, Ilze! I used to blog everyday years ago. Life gets busy. I want to keep the balance of posting and visiting blogs but couldn’t find enough time to do both. I now just post and visit whenever I can. Grandkids first this phase of my life.
Thank you! Life does get busy, and finding balance isn’t always easy. It’s great that you still post and visit when you can—grandkids are definitely a wonderful priority! 😊 Blogging will always be here when you have the time and energy for it.
Congrats on 200! I don’t even know how I happened to find your blog but I’m so glad I did 🙂
Thank you! 😊 I’m so glad you found my blog too! It’s always nice to connect with people. Hope you continue to enjoy reading!
I’ve followed Ilze for a while now, she is a wonderful lady, I look forward to seeing the completion of the home!
That’s so kind of you to say—thank you! 🥰 The renovation has been quite a journey, and honestly, it might take more than two years to fully complete. But we’re making progress step by step! I really appreciate you following along. 😊
Aw, you are welcome, Ilze! ❤️😊
Congratulations!
Thank you, Ann!
