About mom

Hello! I’m Ilze, a mom of three wonderful kids who arrived in quick succession. This beautiful chaos led me to step away from my IT career to embrace motherhood fully.

Before becoming a mom, I built a career in IT, earning degrees in Programming and Computer Science. Almost two years ago, I accepted a position at a dream company after months of consideration, and I haven’t looked back since!

My blogging journey began with greeting card making, which eventually led to opening a photo studio to spend more time with my family. However, I soon realized I needed a change and discovered my love for making beeswax candles, experimenting with sweet aromas like green tea and lemon.

Now, I balance my IT career, family life, and the renovation of our 1880s house, which had been abandoned for 30 years before we took on the challenge of restoring it. Through this blog, I share my experiences, hoping to inspire others navigating similar paths.

Thank you for stopping by!

Warmly,
Ilze
