Easter holidays 2025

  This Easter I had so much fun with my little boy. We have a tradition in my country to paint boiled eggs in different colors. I don’t go into the religious aspect, I like to focus on the fun part. So we paint them in whatever color we want (just the first one should be red), we can draw them, put stickers and so on. I enjoy it very much. My son is old enough to help me paint the eggs this year and I bought different paints and stickers. He was so excited, smiling and wanting to participate in everything. I thought he will make a huge mess and I have to clean like crazy after that, but he was very gentle and careful. The tradition says we can paint them on Thursday or Saturday. My boy and I did it on Thursday and on Saturday; he went to paint eggs with his grandmother at her home. On the next day – Sunday we smash the eggs - it is like a competition. It is a “fight” between the members of the family. Each of us choses an egg and we go against each other, smashing tops and tails of...

Less to think about

In the previous post, I shared with you about our last steps to rent the apartment in which we no longer live. In this post, I would like to focus your attention to (in my opinion) the importance to think about less things at a time.

As a person who easily gets overwhelmed, also very emotional, when having too much to think about I become nervous and want to do everything right now, just to get my head clear.

Of course, it does not happen like that because usually “the things” involve other people, schedules and so on. In addition, rarely is it possible to do it alone or in a day. In such situations, writing is the best friend I could ever have. Writing down tasks, thoughts, making a schedule always helps me to reduce the stress and to unload the pressure in my head.

For this reason, finally, I am calmer because the apartment is now ready for rent and the final step is to find somebody who wants to live there. Just the thought of traveling to that apartment made me very anxious because I have to clean it every time (it is not a small one), buy food, unpack everything, put it away, after that pack to leave it. I find it too much, especially, doing it every month.

So now, that is out of my mind and when going to my home city we are staying with my mother and stress levels will be lower. Do not get me wrong, cleaning, grocery shopping, packing etc are still there, but differently. Moreover, you always have somebody extra to help you.

Not having this in my mind, I could spend more time thinking about my dreams, time to write in the blog and to do whatever I like.
