1,2,3

Hey, we have 3 months! I said ''we'' because I am celebrating too. I have 3 months of mothering.
I've told you that I am a super mom :)

I barely remember the nights with no sleep, the beginning of  breastfeeding or the panic of first day home :)))))

Every day is a new journey, a new discover. We learn to smile, to put the hand in mouth, to roll, to 'talk', to wait and so on.

First 2 months (more specific 6 weeks) I was asking myself ,, where is the joy because  I'm feeling only pain and stress and just a little bit of joy"
But now everything seems to be so easy (just seems to be, because in reality it is still hard but I guess you manage somehow to face fear, stress and other things you live)

Every day is a gift! Every day I touch the Heaven through my son and his laugh!

I would wright more and share my experience with you, but I have to go back to my ,,schnucki'' but you can see all the miracle through  pictures :) Read more!

How it is to be...

Six weeks ago I was standing in a hospital bed and holding in my arms something soft, small with big eyes. Now it's the same. The only thing that is changed is the hospital, the bed and my spirit. I'm not going to share my experience of birth with you but I can tell that you never know what to expect when you're expecting.

Did you know that babies create addiction? I would stay all day holding the baby, kissing and feeding him and watch all the moves, all that funny faces...oh, such a bless.

But not every day is like this. Sometimes I am sooo tired and I would like just 5 minutes just for me. Sometimes it's overwhelming that a tinny little human is depending on you and no matter who is neer by him, he wants you, his mother.
But the mother is in the same time a wife, a housekeeper, a grandmother for 11 puppies, a gardner and God knows what else.

How it is to be all that stuff?? Hard.....but in the same time I realise that I am blessed to have all this, to have a husband, a house, a garden, a few dogs and so on.

Thanks God that he gave us tears so I can cry and eliberate some of the hormones (I don't know if is medicaly correct what I've said, but you know what I mean )

Until next time, (when my baby sleeps well)
yours humble and tired new mom Read more!

hello spring, goodbye winter

I'm getting bigger every day!!! Every second!!! My belly is huge and I'd rather roll than walk =))

I'd like to share with you all the things I'm going through because the pregnancy it's a true miracle but is something that is keeping me away from writing, I don't know what, but it's there.

I hope I will pass through this soon and I will be able to write some stuff about this period of my life.

I can say that my whole life is changing. I am changing: my body, my thoughts, my priorities...but in a good way, except my body  :)

Now, that spring is coming, my son will come soon and I just can't wait to hold him and see that little red/ violet face and those little eyes looking at me and recognise that I am his mother. Oh, such a feeling!!!

The reason for ....

The reason for this long, long, looong holiday is that I am pregnant :)

I have left a small clue at the bottom of the blog page and then I run at the bathroom. I didn't open this blog until now and I can see where I put the pen down.

It was a beautiful summer day and my house was upside down because we had some heavy construction work to do. My little house was surrounded with scaffolding and I had no place to hide. Everywhere I was looking there were workers including at my bedroom window and bathroom.

Two days ago I swore two old ladys who where standing in the middle of the road with a grandchild or smth. and we had to drive beside them. In general, I am a very calm person so I told to my husband ,,Hani (to be read honey), I don't know what is wrong with me. I thing I'm pregnant!''


Back to the construsction/workers/no place to hide day... My beloved husband had to go to buy some stuff for the workers so I was all by myself in the house but surrounded from outside. And I had a splendid ideea!!!!! NOT

What if I pee on a stick? Really?? With all the people working/talking/standing outside?

(Belive me when I say that  a pregnant women's  mind is sooooooo messed up) So I pee on a stick,very relaxed because it wasn't the first time and I learned to have no expectations.

I waited a few seconds and I saw a light pink line and a pink line. Oh my GOD!!!! I founded that I am a mummy surrounded by workers, with a messed house and a messed up mind!!!

My instinct was to go outside and tell that strangers that I am pregnant and I don't care anymore about their complains and to fuck off because now I am a mummy and this is the only thing that matters! (I don't know if you are aware that workers are the most hard people to please...they are doing a great job but the building materials are not good enough and so on-I dont want to remember their complains)

I prepared a surprise for my husband and I was waiting him.

He parked the car, brought the stuff that he bought and bumped me in the front door

,,I have a surprise for you", I said

,,You are pregnant!''

,,Oh, you ruined my surprise!''

Every time he is doing this! He knows all the things. I can not make a surprise or have a juisy gossip because he already predicts it. ohhh!

And I said ,,I might be pregnant because I have a light pink line and a pink one'' Wait and see...

summer came into my garden

Hello everybody,

It turned out that I am a garden person, yeeep!! My husband started to call me sa petite paysanne. 
But the happiness that give me the garden is unbelievable! I planted a seed, a little dry seed and kept my hopes up that something will happen and it did!  Oh, my dear Lord you are amazing! Every time I had a busy week with no time for my petite garden, God always, but always brought a rain and did the job instead of me.

I am thankful for every tomato, carrot, mint and everything that's growing each day!

I'm telling you, it's a time for everything and this is my time with ma petit jardin and I understand the miracle of life through it! it's a special feeling that I am convinced that each of us find it in something or someone. Here is my time with the earth, the life and the blessing of my dear God.

I took this pictures a week ago. Now, the tomatoes are redder :)

new puppy

hello everyone!

You might say that I'm crazy, but I have a new puppy. It's a he and he's a labrador. I  found an announce on internet with this dog  and I want to see it with no real intentions to take it but everything was about to change when I touched  his soft fur and felt his puppy smell. And when he saw me, he came to me and licked my hand and was love at the first tongue :)

But I'm not sure what his name should be. Pleeeeease help me. The owner told me that his name is Arafat....???? I don't want to name him like this

Please write a comment below or on facebook and help me to find a proper name

it is time for a new label

I decided to reinvent myself and I have tons of ideas, but no time and energy to apply them. But this weekend, because it was a rainy day and I couldn't work in the garden (even if I have a lot to do), I manage to do some pretty things, I guess.

I finally have liquid gold 18k and I try different tehniques to preserv the shine of gold but so far I'm not 100% happy with what I've got...

I also try to make a new logo and I was carried away by the easyness of technology and I end up with 20 options but the ones I like the most are:

In essence they are all the same :) And that's why I will use them however my mood tells me :))

I can not wait for the first order to go with this cute little labels. Oh wait, monday I have to send some stuff. yeey! go wrapping!

magical spring

Hello everybody,


I was so mesmerized by spring that all my actions were around it :)  I'm enjoying every minute of living at countryside: first blade of grass, the returning of birds, first peep of chickens, I can't describe all the things that I live in my pettite home.

So, like every serios family around here, I decided to be a gardener. ME, that I ran every time when my parents went to countryside (but then I was a teen and I was capable to sit all day in house watch something or God knows what I was doing ).

We (my husband and I) prepared the ground, I planted some spring seeds and I waited and waited  until one day when I saw something!!!

A perfect day

Hello dear readers,

I want to share with you a perfect day...the day that restablish all the things, in a good way.

Sometimes, I don't know if my place is here or if I've took a good decision to drop architecture for kindergarten and I might say that I have a fight with myself and my thoughts.
But I guess that this is a period that we have to pass through. Anyway I think that this had to happened years ago and today just enjoy the life and the youth, but we are living in a continuous transformation of life quality, moral values and so on..

So.. that day was a perfect day! Thanks to my husband, Raz!  We took a walk, a long walk. Raz almost every day is walking our dog and that day he force me to get up early and go walk all three of us.

It was like a fairyfail. I saw the hole world through  his eyes! The hole nature embraced me and my face had a mind of his own because I kept smiling all day.

Oh, I feel that I let so many days to pass by me and I didn't enjoy every minute of them!

In hope that I will take every second seriously,
love ralu Read more!

hello hometown

hello hometown,

I am so glad to be home for Christmas. It's a feeling that I can't describe. It just home, the place where you are a child, no matter how old you are. Read more!

Lazy Daisy

hello..,anybody there?

I'm sorry that I was absent such a long time, but the moving process is not finished yet. Yes, yes you heard me right...I'm still moving or should I say, I still make changes in the new house...

This morning, I was awoken by my dog, Daisy. She is not a puppy anymore, she is a big, fat dog and makes a lot of crazy stuff like stealing my shoes and the wood for the fire and a lots of stuff just to get my attention. She's like a spoiled little baby.

Anyway, my plan for today was to present you my house, buuut I took some pictures and then the camera went dead- battery low. Maybe next time.

Today, I will show you what a big girl I have.

more energy, please

Hello my dear friends,

It's been a while since I post something, but I have a hard time splitting myself between being a wife, a mom for my dog, a gardner,a student,  a kindergarten teacher and so on. But this weekend it was all about me. I managed to make something(handmade stuff) but it's not ready yet, because I have a lot of ideas that keep pushing me to make more and more sketches. 

I don't know about you, but I realised that my energy is less than two years ago and sometimes I rather stay in bed staring at the sky. Perhaps my energy remains with the childrens from ,,Troita'' (the place where I work) or because I'm new with this and I have to admit it, I am a little bit stressed because I don't know much about childrens. I know how to love them but now I don't know how to organise them. Thanks God I am learning fast and I'm getting better day after day, week after week (with baby steps, of course, but I am heading where I supposed to).

Thank you for your patience.
love ralu

This ia a story about a girl that she's madly in love with ceramics. A story that is told not in words but in little, fragile handmade stuff...coming soon

a part of me

I feel the autumn with all parts of me: with my body (I've got a cold, of course), with my mind (I'm thinking of autumn decor, colors, activities) with my heart (I feel a little nostalgic) and my soul.

But today I feel that all the things are in a good place, including me. I feel that I started to find my place in my new home. I feel that I belong here and I love this feeling.

I woke up in the early morning and the sun was shining soo beautiful and the wind was whispering to prepare myself for a full autumn.

I miss my handmade work but now I have to study and prepare myself for a new career :)) I am a kindergarten teacher.yeeey!! so I have tons of work to do.

I didn't tell you that we (me and my husband) celebrated the second year of marriage. Yes, we already have 2 years but I feel like the first day when I met him. oh, my heart still beats a little faster when he is around.
He is my alter ego, my rock and all the stuff that you can say about your soul mate. He really IS. Enough with all this sugary stuff :)


until next time,
feel the autumn!

love,
ralu

frozen the summer

Hello there,

It's just me or you have the same feeling that this summer was a short one? I had a lots of headaches with all the moving part, even now I have stuff in bags and a room full of things that I didn't find a place to put them. I have space but I don't have time and energy to close this deal.
Anyway, I wanted to freeze the summer just a few moments and embrace it and enjoying it and I had an idea. Let's taste the summer! I made a delicious ice cream that made me scream ,,I can taste you, summer'' :)

You can find a lots of recipes on internet, on food blogs and that's why I didn't put any description to it.

For this ice cream I used cranberries and raspberry but you can put anything that you want. I saw a recipe with apples or peaches so use your imagination and taste the summer!!

two plus one

Hello everyone,

Today I want to introduce you to my dear, clumsy dog named Daisy. It's a she and I adore it. I know that is just a dog, but it can bring joy and diversity in your live. Because of Daisy I wake up in the early morning, meaning 6.20 a.m and  you know that I'm not a morning person.

I don't think that is necesary to say that I have no more shoes. She chews everything!! But we are learning pretty fast what we are allowed and not allowed to do.

Until next time,
keep your shoes safe!

love,
ralu
