For every birthday of my girls I take on a project that eventually makes me sweat. When I started making children’s cakes the themes were meadow or ladybug. Later on I said my offspring can pick their own theme. Last year the pick was “cake with healts” which was easy but this year Lily’s taste …

“Will we hang here forever?” asked Lily. “Well, we probably will,” I answered quite convinced that we would.

Μy girls use up their hairclips and hairbands like biscuits. It’s a bit like with the socks, whenever there’s a pair of something, one of the things gets lost. Any time is a good time to make them new hair decoration pieces. Today I will show you how to make a ribbon flower and …
I tend to leave the details of my upcoming events to the last moment. This time I was about to go to a course in which I was to use my laptop and I didn’t have a cover for it. I could put the laptop into my handbag but it’s much easier to find things …
Today I’d like to share a simple recipe with you for a change. It’s a healthy fruit cup but sweet and full of flavor at the same time. I myself like the Czech cuisine which means desserts which are anything but soft in their flavor. And unlike my family, I have a sweet tooth and …
A mess in my handbag is a kind of diagnosis. When my children came, a handbag became a huge diaper bag where my things were mostly replaced by wipes, bottles, cookies and biting toys and most of the time I couldn’t even find a pen. I could empty the whole bag and still I wouldn’t …
The winter is almost over and the early spring weather is trying to trick us into leaving our jackets at home and quit all the winter prevention. In our home it’s among other things the care of cracked skin and lips. Moreover, I have a little girl who likes to look into my makeup drawer …

The Valentine’s Day gave us yet another great opportunity for handmade creations, so here’s a St. Valentine’s Day card we made for daddy.
I was really looking forward to this year’s winter. I hoped it would bring much more snow than the last winter and we could finally break in the new sledge and teach our daughter to skate. Even before the winter came me and Lily decided to make our own snow globes, since she liked so …
