The morning started in the coziest way possible — after breakfast I took my coffe in bed. Jānis drove to the Gulbene to by some stuff for renovation and I was sipping my “morning” coffee (around 2PM😅). Jānis took out the package from Omniva, and my fabrics, threads, and zippers from a lovely little fabric … More Vacation Day 7: Fabric Delivery, Garden Tasks & a Full Moon Walk
Today started slow… and stayed that way. I finally sat down to reply to all your lovely comments — something I hadn’t managed to do for the past five days. It took quite a while to go through them all and answer each one, but it felt so nice to catch up. By 2 p.m., … More Vacation Day 6: Slow & Sweet
I almost missed it. Honestly, I can’t believe I did. I felt it… With all this gray sky, endless drizzle, and heavy summer clouds, I hadn’t even thought to look up. July has felt like one long sigh — cold, damp, and dreary. I’ve been indoors too much, moving from one to-do to another, hoping … More The Moon I Almost Missed
I couldn’t sleep. You know those restless nights when your mind simply won’t quiet down, and even your usual rituals—tea, journaling, a bit of stretching—don’t help? That was me, tossing and turning.

Beautiful full moon tempted me to go outside at night (I’m a bit afraid of the dark, if alone outside) with a camera in hand. Is it just me or are there more mosquitoes this year? I bet Mosquitoes number hasn’t changed. That is because so many people have left Latvia to work in UK, Ireland, … More Full Moon & Mosquitoes!
Girls were driving me crazy at the weekend! I couldn’t explain why! They were so active and challenging! Fighting with each other, running, jumping, banging head and believing that they can fly… form sofa to armchair! Helmī was the craziest, the most active, the fastest, the crybaby and the extreme sports winner for sure! I would say discoverer … More Oh, it’s a full moon!
I never thought I could tell the Moon phase by watching my kids! And I mean that FULL MOON phase when kids don’t want to go to bed and jumping around till 1 am! And, YES! I’m informed about those reserches that show that the moon doesn’t affect the behavior of children the way we thought … More Moody Moon
It’s midnight and it looks like a full moon from where I’m sitting right now. We are back home and… decide to repair the house! Now I’m spending my days scrubbing floors before applying natural flaxseed oil for wood. We have a natural wooden floor never treated before. It’s gray and needs to be polished … More Midnight / Is it Full Moon?
