This was funny! Sometimes girls like to eat an apple, but sometimes not. When I buy apples – they seem to have registered in “apple hater club” and when there isn’t any at home, they ask for apples like “apple lovers”. Helmī loves apples all the time even saying she don’t when the older sisters … More Helmī and apple
We all spent a weekend together and shortly before Janis and girls were leaving I decide to go home too! And one of the reasons was – Nelle’s kindergarten had Mother’s day concert. I’m glad I made such decision even Janis told me to stay in Salacgriva and relax till Thursday. Only one kid didn’t have … More Mother’s day concert

Finally, I’m in the RIGHT mood! MY mood! The mood I remember being in – the mood that has written “Ilze” all over it! On Sunday I took out one of my vintage Damask (and by Damask I mean Damask cotton) tablecloth and served soup in a terrine to mine family. Yes, that’s MY mood! The … More Sunday Special
I woke up cause Linna was crying. She is grumpy all the time, we really enjoy those few moments when she is laughing or smiling. Coming with a happy face and saying that love us! This time she didn’t want to go to kindergarten cause Nelle stays alone at home… Somehow we manage to deal … More Good morning ants!
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…
Finally, this blog has a logo! I made a logo for this blog yesterday and that’s all thanks to FamilyBizzBuzz Etsy shop. I like my Etsy shop logo and this was the starting point for blogs logo… They look alike. And that is good, cause that’s me… behind both! What do you think? I have … More Blog: Logo [✓]
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
Is it ok to talk about Sunday two days after it!?! As you know my mom was there and helped me scrub and clean all the darkest corners and places in the house. I was dealing with the “girls made mess” on Saturday, but well, I did it! I could take care of all the house, … More Sunday (mess from Sunday!)
Janis changed his work and have a new contract since 10th of January. He decided not to dig in until this Monday. So, Janis had few days off – seven working days if be exact! He spends that time doing what he normally can’t. Usually, we shop our food here in Gulbene, but since Janis didn’t … More Few days off
We all know Mondays… Really!? NO! I would say “No! It is the same as the other days!” …six years ago! But now – OMG! Tomorrow is Monday!…Twice more coffee! And like it wouldn’t be enough! That “Monday” thing is real even if you are staying at home mom. And those who are saying “Mondays … More Monday
Thanks to my new neighbor, Lāsma (who has a son the same age as Nelle and moved here about a month ago), my oldest girl is registered in the school of art! Last Monday we were in the art school for the first time and she loved it! And now she’s been asking if it’s … More School of Art for Nelle
Coffee break is better than ever with these cups! After doing some chores I love to have time with a cup of coffee and few sugary treats.

This post is a bit different! Please watch the video! Listen to yourself! This video is from today (Monday). Thank you, Ilze
My little girl Helmī. She is a bundle of joy and the only kid I didn’t have to worry about. She grew up by herself – I didn’t have to sit near her and entertain her like I had to do with Nelle and Linna. She ate well and grow strong. Maybe that was because … More Daddy’s little helper: Helmī
I’ve had such a short time together with my Tagine… Why? I loved it so much! I cooked in it twice a week (sometimes 4 days straight) but today.. today it has ended. Ended cause my Helmī (1 y 5 m) simply get it down from the table where I left it. I left it … More Tagine / Tajine food
This was super nice and relatively quiet in our house tonight. Only Helmī was crying from 6:03am till 7:41am. I can’t get back to sleep anymore…. Long story short. Janis is super-dad! He spends all his “free” time together with them. Paying, tickling and doing some “kids aero yoga” (that’s how I call it!). They have such a … More From 6:03 till 7:41
