At the crossroads

In 2019...
I want to take with me

 -the unique sunrises and sunsets that I could admire
- the memories of the new places we have seen
- my dreams and goals
-the smell of newborn Oliver
-the joy of first motherhood months
-the books I have read
-the people I have met
-the taste of the dishes I enjoyed
-the adrenaline of the flights
-the smell of the rain
-the inspiration for writing
-the LOVE.
On the other hand, I want to leave in 2018

 -the sadness and the lies
-the loss of dear people
-the sleepless nights
-the doubts and insecurities
-the homesickness
-the disappointments
-the fears
-the people who are not important
- and of course, the extra pounds :)



Dear 2018,
You've been so full of events and I really cannot believe you are almost over. Despite everything, I want to finish you in a nice way. I need to thank you for the lessons you have taught me. I am ready to start a new year. I am stronger! I am wiser! I am older now!!!

































Hello 2019!

 Sincerely,
Me

Did you know that? Italy

Hello everyone 😇, Italy is the country that has adopted us. I have been living here for almost 4 years now. It has its ups and downs but as a grateful daughter, I will not talk about any negative aspect here. This post is about the interesting facts you probably didn't know about Italy. I didn't know some of them either. And it was fun enough to discover it now. So here they are! Did you know that: 1. Italy has more volcanoes than any other country in Europe. It hosts all 3 of Europe's active volcanoes; 2. Pizza was invented in Naples. And it has recently become UNESCO's patrimony. Not the pizza as a product but the process of making pizza; 3. Italy is the 5th most visited country in the world. It welcomes around 46 million foreign visitors every year. 4. Italy is the 5th most populous country in Europe; 5. It has more earthquakes than any other country in Europe; 6. Italian is the closest language to Latin; 7. According to Italians, 17 is considere...

Letter to Oliver

Dear baby Oliver, Why do you hurry  to grow up? Don't understand me wrong, I am glad and proud every time you do something new. Your noisy laughter melts my heart. The tender way you look into my eyes is just priceless. When you gently hold my hand it reminds me of all the times I have been thinking of you and waiting for you. Why don't you want to stop the time just for an instance? I wish I could keep the innocence in your eyes forever. I wish I could protect you from the bad. I want to see you growing a strong boy with a loving heart. I don't want you to get hurt in any way! Thank you for making me worth being called a "Mother". You have thaught me what patience is. You also help me understand that not everything should be about me. Your presence in our lives has made us better people. We can talk without saying any words. You are little but your heart is bigger than ours. There is room for everyone! This week you turned 8 months. 8 months of Joy, Love ...

Istanbul, Turkey

Merhaba my friends, I have been absent for a while due to a very busy schedule. It was busy not only because of work and the baby, but also because we were getting ready for a new adventure. This time we had the courage to go a little further than the usual 2-3 days get aways. I am ready to write about it now when the bags are unpacked, almost all the goodies have been eaten and we are almost back to reality. We visited Istanbul - the city of contrasts. Honestly, I did not want to have any expectations before the trip. I knew very little about Istanbul and Turkish culture in general. Unlike many girls of my age, I have not watched any Turkish TV series :) (although there are a lot of them). So i did not know what i would find there. The best thing about our vacation was that we were not real tourists. A few people know that my sister-in-law lives there with her family. Therefore we were lucky to discover the Turkish life style from the inside. We were also lucky to visit the cou...
