The positive part of 2020


Hello guys,

In the very end of this year I would like to turn back and think about of all the positive things that happened to us. I mean, yes, 2020 was a very hard year for all of the people in the world…some of us lost friends or family members, some of us lost their main income, some of us went through this year with other personal issues due or not to coronavirus… but instead of looking back with regrets… let’s be thankful for the lessons we learned and continue in the New Year with more positive thoughts!

I understand how hard could be that, but in the other way we won’t win anything if we stay on the negative side of the situation.

Whatever happens in the future with the spread of the coronavirus… let’s trick it with more flexibility, with calmness and more smiles πŸ’–

First I would like to say a big Thank you to all of you, who read, like and are actually interested in my blog page! Thank you guys, I really appreciate it, this page was a dream that came true this year, because I was able to say to my self β€œ What are you afraid of?! Just do it!”

I’m not gonna make this post like the typical New Year’s resolutions, this year I’m just thankful… for all that things, that happened to me, to all the lessons I learned, to all of my friends and family!

2021 is a new chapter… you all are capable to do whatever you really want to! Yes, it’s not easy… but after all it’s worth it, believe me 😘

Thank you all for staying with me this year!

I promise to share a lot of new adventures with you in the next one πŸ₯°

Stay healthy and positive!

xoxo

Happy New Year!

Yours,

Late fall getaway


Sometimes we all need to escape for the weekend and just do nothing.

That’s why I decided to give for my husbands birthday a little getaway from our daily routine as a present. And it was really nice and relaxing. We both need that for sure.

I highly recommend this place for a little spa getaway. It’s perfect for couples who doesn’t want to live the resort. The food, the view the people…everything was great!

If the situation wasn’t like that and we weren’t living in this pandemic world, probably we will travel to another place outside our country, but it is what it is and we were happy to spend the weekend just us two, no matter what is the situation outside.

Beautiful nature of Bulgaria

So after all…we came to an agreement that we definitely should do it again, if we have that possibility… if the situation allows us that.

It’s nice to spend couple days with your husband like the good old times… 😎

Have a great weekend guys!

And if you can give yourself a little getaway…just do it, it’s worth it! πŸ’–

Living in a pandemic times… how to avoid the panic and live a normal life instead


Hello everybody,

I’m writing today about this very painful topic from the beginning of this year, the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lately our situation here in Bulgaria increased and we are having more and more positive cases, so yes, nobody is pretty sure if we won’t experience another lockdown in the next couple months. So again nobody could plan anything and I’m not talking about some weekends getaways, but even Christmas holidays, New Years Eve and etc.

I’m wondering however what happened with the seasonal flu and viruses that were so common in this season, because everything that you could hear nowadays is COVID-19, all right, but what happened with the flu…

I don’t want to go deeper in my thoughts about the line between the seasonal flu and the Covid virus and is there a line at all, so just wanna tell you guys to try at least to live normally, to eat more healthy food, to try to exercise more….living a healthy life is the first step of protecting yourself from all those viruses.

With the consuming of more vegetables and fruits we are increasing our chance not even to have a better immune system, but to feel better in our own bodies. In addition to that if we add some light exercises to our daily routine, that would help our metabolism to start working faster and to get rid of some extra pounds/kg. Doesn’t that sound’s good?

Trying to keep things in a normal way it’s not always an easy job, but we could give it a try 😎

I’m that kind of person who always try’s to make the things look in a more positive way, so whatever happens in the next few months, no matter how many plans we have to reschedule just let’s try to be more positive πŸ’–

Just keep your minds and bodies healthy, smile more and enjoy your time always, even if you have a bad day…do something for your self…something to make you feel better and happier!

Thank you everyone for reading my blog today!

If you like it, you know what to do πŸ‘πŸ»

Have a great afternoon guys!

Three years…time flies πŸ’–


Hello guys, I’m writing today, because I feel very nostalgic and happy at the same time. My little boy, turned three years couple days ago.

I still can’t believe when this years passed…

For the all of you who don’t know me, he was born prematurely in 35th week of my pregnancy. He was tiny little baby and now is one happy little boy ☺️

I feel so thankful every single day, since I saw this little eyes, arms and feet…to be a mom it’s the happiest thing that ever happened to me πŸ’–

Thank you, my dear son, for all those little moments every day, for teaching me how to rediscover the world with you…for choosing me for your mommy! I love you to the moon and back!

Thank you guys, for reading my story!

Have a great Sunday evening!

xoxo

Do we take our partner for granted?!


Hello guys, in this sunny autumn afternoon I’m thinking about our relationships and how sometimes we take our partners for granted without even noticing that.

Yes, with our busy schedules during the week and even weekends, somehow we stopped being romantic. We just go through our tasks and at the end of the day, we are so tired of that routine that we just turn Netflix or some YouTube channels and just fall asleep after. And did anyone actually notice that this routine is repeating again and again… and if we don’t wake up on time from this bubble we take the risk to destroy our relationships.

I’m not sure if we women notice that situation more often than men…, but sometimes it really hurts when you went through that conversation several times in your relationship and your partner still wakes up in the morning, knowing that you two are alone (the kids are not in your bedroom) and you could have some privacy and instead of hugging and kissing you, he takes his phone and open the newsfeed or Facebook…

I’m not trying to say that every day should be exciting adventure for you, because sometimes it’s really nice to just stay at home with your partner, instead of going out, and pour a glass of wine, turn the Netflix on…but let’s not get so comfy with that and try to pay more attention to your relationship. Do some new things for both of you, travel to new places, discover new things together…if we don’t make the effort to keep the flame of our marriage/partnership, believe me, it won’t last for long… In the times we live, into the quick liquidity relationships and hectic daily life…we have to at least try more often to spend some quality time with our partner.

So…after all…everything that matters is love. Love yourself, love your partner, family, friends….when we give love it returns to us…this is the circle of life πŸ’•

Life is good, because there is you, right next to me!

Thank you all for reading my thoughts this afternoon, if you like it, you know what to do 😎

Have a great afternoon!

xoxo

Parents need life too…,right?!


Hello guys, how are you? This couple weeks I feel not myself at all.

My little one starts to wake up at night again and not even crying but screaming during the night…I don’t know if this is the last teeth, just the β€œterrible two’sβ€œ or the change of the season…maybe the mothers here who are reading my blogs could give me an advice how to proceed with that screaming and crying periods of β€œI want that/I don’t want it β€œ… yeah…sometimes it’s hard to survive through the end of the day.

Calibri
A simple example

And on the next day you should be fresh and full of energy, because you need to go to work and etc. I’m not trying to complain, don’t get me wrong…I don’t know…just share my experience as a working mommy.

Because you know that it’s not only the happy pictures in the social media…everyone haves their own moments, right? We all see happy faces and clean houses and moms who looks like just got out of the magazine…but let’s face it, nothing of this is actually real and most of the time those people probably experience the same things like us.

And in the hard times with all that pandemic situation and upcoming cold season , if we don’t find our own happiness and happy place….nobody could be able to do it for us, right 😊

Sometimes I in person, experience a lot of hard times with my little boy. He’s turning 3 years next week and there is times when he becomes really fussy and frustrated for actually nothing… like for example the crises from last night β€œI want some water (he couldn’t reach the bottle by himself, he got angry) than started to scream β€œI don’t want water β€œ…. all this drama in 3 AM…funny right?! And this recently happens often… I don’t know if that is normal or my kid is going through a phase…if you share your experience with me that would be very helpful guys ☺️

So, yes, right or wrong…rest or sleepy…we are all parents and we definitely need a break sometimes, after all we have rights too πŸ˜€

Thank you all for reading my blog today! Have a great weekend and see you soon πŸ’–

Nothing is what it seems to be…but that’s why we love it


Hello guys, I know I wasn’t posting for a while, but like all of us sometimes, I’ve been through a let’s say…hard time.

The truth is that I thought that I could be pregnant with a second one, it turns out….I’m not…, but all those waiting and wondering β€œAm I?” just shakes my world in a bit.

Not because I don’t want to have another baby, I do…, but now it’s not the right time for me and I as a woman could feel when is the right time for something like that and when is not.

I think that even that we are living in 21st century sometimes women are not appreciated enough in some countries(or I’m not sure if this is because of the country you’re living and all the common habits, or it’s in your own DNA, no matter what kind of people and mentality you are surrounded). Sometimes men think that if you can handle one baby, why not make some more, especially if they are not that much involved in taking care of their kids. I have the impression, may be it’s just my impression, but in a lots of families men/husbands/fathers doesn’t take that much care for their kids when they are little, I mean they focus on their own job and career and don’t help that much to their wife’s/partners.

Believe me that’s not really good, because that’s why the woman became more depressed, more obsessed about the kids, she doesn’t have that much time for herself and after all as much as you adore your little ones you become unsatisfied of your personal life and that’s not healthy at all…we all know where that lead goes.

So my dear male friends, if you wanna have another baby, please, first talk about it with your partner…don’t make her feel like an incubator πŸ˜ƒ

Being a parent is one of the best things in my life ( you all probably know that from my previous posts), but it’s not enough for me and probably for a lot of the women who is reading my posts… so discuss this topic with your partner and if he/she is not ready now don’t be pushy. Appreciate your partner’s decision and wait for the right time… and if something else happens and you actually turns out to be pregnant…don’t feel sorry for that and accept that the destiny wants you to have baby now, and there is nothing bad about that ☺️

Wishing you all an amazing day.

xoxo,

Yours,

One year down and forever to go…


I still remember the way my heart leaped when you got down on your knee and asked me to be your wife. Of course I said yes, and I’d say it all over again. Yes to you. Yes to this life we’ve made. A thousand times YES to our love!

On this special day last summer we said the official YES in front of our parents, relatives and friends…yes, everyone says the first one sometimes is the sweetest, but the sour one too. Our wasn’t the exception, but I truly believe that as many bumps we have on our road together as stronger we’ll stay as a couple and partners in this life…wasn’t that actually what people called marriage?!

It’s not always roses and unicorns, it’s not only dinners on the sea cost, watching the sunset together and enjoying each other company. It’s not only passion, love and sweet moments. I wish for us to keep going through all those moments together hand by hand, like through all happy ones too! The most important part is that I believe in us and in our love, I believe that we are able to resist the time and the difficulties and stay together still looking in each other eyes like on those day!

I love you, my darling and always will fight for our team!

Thank you all, for sharing this special day with me!

Have a great Monday!

Multitasking…or just trying to survive


Hi guys, today I would like to share with you my experience as a multitasking mother, wife, woman and etc.

Nowadays is hard sometimes to be mother of a toddler, working 40 hours a week and trying to be also good wife, daughter, friend… housekeeper, cook…to work out 4-5 times a week, to spend quality time with your kid and with your husband…to be a good looking young woman with nice hair, always perfect nails…come on…who could do all that πŸ˜‚ I mean…one day is just 24 hours…and for me, if I have to be honest, are not enough…

Sometimes my son goes to bed after 11 PM and yes, I don’t have the power to wash my hair for example after that time, because we usually wake up around 8 o’clock in the morning…and yes, mommy needs some sleep too.

Another topic is that we sleep almost 8 hours now, after our baby boy turned 2,5 years, before that we used to be awake several times during one night.

I don’t have someone who’s helping me with the domestic work…so I either have to send my son and husband out at the playground to try to clean the house meanwhile or have to spend also some quality time with my family. My point is that I rather choose to spend some time with my husband and kid than loose it with housekeeping…and no, my house is not a total mess but it’s not also like just got shot in a magazine, especially with a toddler in it πŸ˜„

Me and my husband are privileged to receive help with our boy from my gorgeous mother, who always takes him with her when we need a little break, because parents are people too and we as a lot of you probably need a break, to spend some time alone, to be able to do our own things as a couple not only as a parents. And for me this is very important…to keep that sparkle in your relationship.

Sometimes is better to leave some dirty dishes in the sink and to turn the washing machine later, because the time spent with your kid is priceless… the dishes could wait, but your kid won’t be a kid for a long time and one day you’ll miss all those little moments…. it’s priceless, believe me πŸ₯°

Multitasking or not, there always will be hard times being a woman these days, but it’s up to us if we allow all those stereotypes and expectations to make our days harder or to just hug your kid, kiss your husband and go out for a walk with a sink full of dirty dishes πŸ˜‰

Thank you for reading my story guys!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

xoxo

Yours
