I’m not feeling well, as I wrote yesterday: Today I took sick leave till Monday. It feels a little strange to press the pause button after three weeks of vacation… I know this is what my body has been asking for. For now the plan is simple – rest, warm cups of tea, and quiet … More A pause till Monday
I couldn’t work today, yet I didn’t take a sick leave because the thermometer showed only 37.2C (98.96 °F). A small, unimpressive number that makes you apologize instead of resting. Still, my body told a different story. Last night I woke up at 1 a.m. with an itchy, painful throat, a stuffed nose, and irritation in … More Not Sick Enough — Yet Not Okay
So, what is another word for BUSY!? I had a dream and another woman had it too… and now we have a project to make this dream come true, together! Today I worked on the first part of this project and what can I say it’s so good to do what you love and do … More What is another word for BUSY!?
I love to pick my own herbal tea and by that, I mean from fields and gardens. Every year I promise myself to collect even more (in amount and also in variety). I have several herbal tea books that are a good guide if there is an illness in our house. Like now! My herbal … More Herbal Tea
Today all the girls staying at home cause Linna still is ill and they decided to cheer her up! What is the best way to cheer her up than build a human skeleton together… I know it looks like Halloween but they asked :). Found this at cookingpoetry.com Linna is better! Ilze
My poor little Linna is ill! Yesterday I came back from a photoshoot and saw Linna and knew she is ill! She was 39.6°C yesterday late at night! It’s high! Very high! I know that others give medicine to get the temperature down, but I don’t. I believe that the high temperature is better than … More Poor Little Linna!
This is the only picture I have of the studio opening with me! My hair looks crazy and lightening is “very flattering” 🙂 But it doesn’t matter! By the way, my brother also looks weird in this picture. I bet we are getting old. 🙂 The opening was overwhelming! Didn’t expect so many people. I … More Week After the Opening Party
Nelle is still sick and Helmī is accompanying her. Now – two ill and it feels like this stomach virus is spreading. I hope no one else catches it! While girls were sleeping I worked on labels for honey. My friend has honey bee farm and she is selling honey, pollen and bee bread. I love … More Day #170
Our plan for today was town festival, but we had to cancel it. Nelle is ill and we won’t go without her! We like to be together when going out. Instead of the town festival, I went to woods to collect birch leaves. Why in woods, not in bushes?! It’s so summery, dry and dusty! … More Herbal Tea
Nelle is still ill: Yesterday was promising… until 6pm! After 6pm Nelle got the temperature high up in no time! From 37.2C to 39.8C (103.64 F) in just 40 minutes! We called family doctor and she suggested to take pills to get the temperature down and said: “.. if it won’t come down in 40 minutes – call … More Nelle….still ill!
So… It was long 16 days away from blogging! It feels like I need to write a long blog post about it… but wait… I was away only 16 days! Not much to write about, since my “staying home mom” was interrupted by Bussines Plan. My first and only Bussiness Plan ever! Followed by a lot … More I might be back…
Update: Two bigger girls don’t have a temperature but Nelle got itchy throat. Salt water gargle isn’t an option cause she doesn’t know how to do that. We will stick with pastilles and camomile tea, water and honey. That won’t be a problem. It looks like Helmī is allergic to quince! I added it to the herbal teas for … More Early morning after a late night!
Now all three girls are ill. Even Helmī have a temperature. No flu… something else. We stick to a lot of C vitamin, herbal teas, and few meds… Girls are puzzling and I’m doing my best to keep them in bed and happy! It feels like I’m next! While girls were sleeping I’ve tried to get … More Update
I have to postpone all my plans and actions related to the Etsy shop. Girls are ill! Nothing serious, but being all at home where Janis try to work from… is serious! Or at least “good workout” for me! Linna was ill on Friday (only temperature – about 38.8C). Now she’s having running nouse. Nelle got … More Postpone
