Linna and the Art of Photography: A Creative Journey

While Helmī’s recent adventure with the camera was a joy to watch, I can’t forget to mention Linna—our seasoned young photographer. She’s been capturing moments with my old camera for a while now, and this year she decided to take it a step further by enrolling in a photography class for kids. I love that … More Linna and the Art of Photography: A Creative Journey

Day 4: A Different Kind of Day – Surgery, Final Dip and Rainbow

Day 4 was different from the rest of our time in Salacgriva. We had to make a trip to Riga with Linna, as she needed to undergo surgery. It was a dental procedure, and while it wasn’t her first, the thought of full anesthesia always makes me anxious. It’s hard to believe this was her … More Day 4: A Different Kind of Day – Surgery, Final Dip and Rainbow

Fully packed Friday

Can’t believe my Friday was so intense! I manage to deal with a lot of house chores and also spend time with girls while Janis was helping to build a playground for Helmī kindergarten group. This isn’t the first time he is helping and I’m proud of having such a nice hearted man in my … More Fully packed Friday

Poor Little Linna!

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!

Yesterday

I’m easy on naming my blog posts… Friday, yesterday 🙂 Yesterday I thought I will do all the paperwork, but sadly Linna got ill – eye infection and stayed home. So, no paperwork for me. Plus the weather was terrible – windy, wet and cold! We had “coffee break” between house chores. Coffee for me … More Yesterday

Friday

I thought I will stay at home today and do accounting… all the paperwork. Jānis took all the girls to the kindergarten to be sure I can take all the papers out… but he came back with Linna. Linna has an eye infection and that is something that is very contagious. Helmī had it about … More Friday

My girls’ Namedays

Here in Latvia, we have such thing as Name day. Imagine all the “Latvian” names (it’s not only Latvian, I would say common names in Latvia) are written in the calendar. What about those whose name isn’t written on the calendar. There is also one day (and that is May 22) when those who don’t … More My girls’ Namedays

Doggy

We have Linnas Godfather here for the weekend and he brought his doggy to! Our Marley isn’t happy (since the dog stays inside all the time and eats what’s left in Marley’s bowl) but we are trying the best to show love to our Marley :). I hope that by the end of the day … More Doggy

Home alone

Or should I say – Home alone with Linna? Last week was interesting! Interesting cause we were apart from each other! Janis went to Riga to sign a new contract with a new IT company. And stayed in Riga for two days. As you know Nelle has time with me on Mondays, after School of … More Home alone

Linna in action!

This is good! I like where it is going! Sometimes Linna likes to help. Whenever I ask – she doesn’t want to help. She likes to come and help every time I keep my mouth shoot and ignore here. Nice! Now I will have new tactics! I will start cleaning something and I hope, I … More Linna in action!

Linnas Godfather

Our beloved Linna’s godfather visited us on Monday. We chatted about life and how you get used to “unnormal” things pretty fast… And it’s true! In the first, you might think that something hit you very hard but after few times you get used to it! What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Linna was … More Linnas Godfather
