Happy 2026 <3

Happy 2026, Dear!

I hope the new year brings you new creative energy <3 Even though, I guess we are all feeling a little slugish after long Holidays? :)

In my store this month - oh sweet motherhood, so non-linear! The festive days were wonderful, and then - coming back to the reality and kindengarten for my 3 year-old together with various viruses for me and both of the kiddos..

We had some weeks that put us very down to earth least to say. I could feel all the weight again - the heaviness of being responsible for good mood of the kids in , proper social behavior as well as appropriate attendance in the educational programme, agreeableness at home and on top of it all - kind of looking to come back to true self myself. I am currently looking for office job opportunities, but with these little kiddos, it's not easy. The skirt is bought, the make-up is ready and I am training my brain. But I feel so exhausted and overwhelmed after each interview! All of this hit me with a cystitis, which, fortunately, required me to lay in bed and rest. It was time for real rest and reflections on where, and who I am in this season.

After recovery, I had a couple beautiful days with my kiddos at home, and seeing how much they actually grew during the holidays, and how smart A (3 year-old) gets every month (both his own development + kidengarten experience) just blew my mind. We had so much true FUN, dances, singing, talks, games,.. I did not feel this connection and lightness in a long time. I am so thankful for it, because, genuinely, for the past semester I feel like I have been more of a tired screamer mom - responding to all the chaos my boys constantly create (such artists).

Thus I am thankful, that I am learning, that I am finding peace, and we are all growing and getting a bit better at this life together.

Regarding the artsy mom side, I have still yet not finished my camera roll! but I have thoughts on these real cold winter days, catching proper sunshine in the icy spicy snow.

Leaving you with a little bit of dreamy music

xoxo,
A
