I received tulips on March 8, but I don’t celebrate the day—it’s just another date for me. I didn’t even realize it was March 8 until the flowers arrived. March 8, Women’s Day, is a post-Soviet tradition, but it’s not something I particularly connect with. My husband knows I don’t need flowers on this day … More A Tulip on March 8: A Reflection
Working from home has its perks – no commute, comfy clothes, and plenty of tea breaks. But it also means unpredictable guest appearances. Yesterday, I was in a Zoom meeting with my team, discussing our approach, when Marley, our furry family member, decided to make his debut. Marley sat there for 10 minutes and then … More Yesterday’s Zoom Meeting: When the Support Team Met Marley
Nelle captured Marley’s final days indoors with beautiful photos, showcasing his restlessness on the balcony and longing for the countryside.

Maybe I’m stressed, maybe just “softy”, but when I saw a neighbors dog chasing my cat in the deep snow I fell into panic!!!

Remember, I bought myself a puzzle as a gift on my second year blogging in “a day in a life of a Latvian mom”. After the experience of Jigsaw Puzzle #2, this was EASY! What can I tell about this puzzle… It’s called “House of dreams”. I would love to wall inside this house or … More Jigsaw Puzzle #3 House of dreams
This morning I woke up and immediately sat in my armchair. Opened up my laptop and checked if I don’t have something important to do. Girls woke up screaming: “Snow! Snow! Snow! It’s a snow on the car!”. What!? Really! Marley and I didn’t saw any snow from our favorite spot. This is how much … More First Snow!
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
There are a few things that happened in the life of our Marley. First, at the end it’s boy. We are living in the countryside and Marley can easily go out and have fun, but he never wants. Few times we took him out, while we are out and he hides under porch… So, one morning … More Marley in a window
I wanted to capture the beauty of tulips in an old enamel jug. This old enamel jug is from my grandma… It’s special! I did few shots and Marley jumped in. And I used it! What do you think!? Ilze
Our Cat Marley is getting friendlier and friendlier every day!! And now as far as I can tell (I’m almost 35 and I never had a cat before and I don’t look under the tail of cats I met along the way) our cat Marley is SHE! Is Marley a girl name?! Cause our cat Marley … More Marley
If you follow our family through my blog you might notice that about a month ago I start to think about cat adoption. You can find the blog post here.
