Becoming an Eco-Friendly Mom
If I’m being honest, I am very proud of all I’ve accomplished this year. I have given birth to an amazing baby boy; I’ve scored an amazing job I love and am managing to do alongside being a mom; I’ve traveled to Portugal to meet all my colleagues — the first time ever I’ve traveled […]
Baby’s First Cold and The Importance of Staying Calm
My little one had his first cold a couple of days ago, at a tender age of 7.5 months. And to be honest, I am super proud of myself for the way I handled it. My husband and mom were urging me to take him to the doctor right away. With a fever of 38.5C, […]
Vacationing and Mom Guilt
Last Saturday, I came back from my very first vacation I’ve been on since I gave birth. The company I’ve been working for for only 2 months gathered us all in Portugal so we could meet and have fun for 5 days. I’ve never been to Portugal before, and with all expenses paid, I couldn’t […]
Redecorating, Learning, and Farmers’ Markets
Lately, despite not having all that much free time (or precisely because of the lack of it), I’ve been enjoying my life more than I have in a long while. For one, I’ve finally convinced my husband to get help with redecorating the nursery. He’s the type of guy who prefers doing everything alone around […]
Does Money Really Matter?
Yesterday, I heard news from a good friend of mine that her best friend is in the hospital. She has had a high fever for weeks now, and not one doctor knows what’s causing it. They scanned her top to bottom, did all the analysis, and she’s still not getting better, no matter what kind […]

Table of contents: Two and a half weeks ago, I made a big decision. I took a new job despite being on maternity leave for the next seven months. At the time, my baby boy was 4 and a half months old. To my surprise, every family member and friend was really supportive of my […]
A Week From My Due Date and Feeling Frustrated.
It sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? Shouldn’t I be feeling excited and perhaps a bit nervous? Of course, and that’s how I’m feeling, too. But after today’s scheduled visit to my gynecologist, I’m frustrated, sad, and sure, even a bit miserable as well. My baby boy is doing just fine, but my cervix hasn’t ripened yet. […]
Celebrating Orthodox Christmas in Serbia
My family celebrated Christmas yesterday, on January 7th. Many Orthodox churches follow the Julian calendar, which is why we celebrate Christmas 13 days after most of the world does. Because our Christmas falls after New Year’s Eve, a lot of our customs are different. For example, the kids expect Santa to leave them gifts not […]
Manifesting a Successful 2022
If you’ve read this blog post, you know I love manifesting through writing. But while I’ve managed to manifest specific events, I’ve never tried manifesting an entire year before. A couple of days ago, I heard a woman in some talk show talk about manifesting the year ahead, and I loved the idea. Apparently, you […]
2021 In Retrospect
At the end of each year, I like to look back at what my goals for the year were, and what I achieved in those 12 months. I talk a lot about the importance of gratitude, and this is a great chance to practice it. Not only that, but I get to be proud of […]
