Picture me

My name is Ewa.

I was born and raised in Poland. At the age of 26, I came to the U.S for a cultural exchanged called Au-Pair.

I met my husband, got married and now we’re living in California with our two daughters and a dog.

I started this blog shortly after getting married and having our first daughter, Linka to let my creative juices flow and to keep myself occupied during sleepless nights (many of them while raising two tiny babies).

This blog was the inspiration for starting my photography business in 2012.  Within the next year the business took over my life, and this blog was paused.

On June 18th, 2018, EXACTLY 5 years after my VERY LAST POST, I re-opened it with the purpose of sharing my life-stories, review products, books, and share easy and healthy-ish recipes I gathered during the 5 YEARS OF BLOGGING BREAK. 

So, if you’re new or coming back from years ago I warmly welcome you. My life and the life of my family has changed tremendously during the last 5 years.

For example from an apartment, we have moved to an RV. My beloved Di passed away, and we went through 3 different dogs since her loss. My girls are almost grownups (NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!), they talk back, and have their own opinions about everything.

They are my solar power. They are my soil. They are my water.

For the next few months, I will be changing some things on this blog so bear with me. I haven’t touched it in 5 years, so there’s a lot of dust in here…  This page definitely needs an update… but for now… the part below is still from 5 years ago…

If you want to know how to make pierogi from scratch or what’s kisiel and faworki, you are in a perfect place 🙂

and definitely, I am a NIKON girl!

This is my short “life story” in pictures:

Many Many Many Many years ago (I’m the blue one):

Came to the US in 2007 as an Au Pair to the best host family ever:

Here and there in U.S.A

😉

Had a bicycle accident. Fractured several vertebrae and spet almost 5 months as a HOT Robo AuPair.

After that I stopped liking bicycles and moved to the back seat of a motorcycle. I think it’s much safer over there. At least I don’t have to steer.

I’ve established a friendship with one doggy!

and it’s owner 😉

… and my belly had grown a little bit bigger…

and bigger…

and bigger

Finally our” No 1″ joined us, said: gee ! for the first time, and can’t stop smiling since!

Enjoying every single moment with my Little One.

Definitely a breastfeeding mamma 🙂

Loving coffee – all the time, every time, day and night time, etc time.

Loving reflections like loving coffee…

and my tattoo which I don’t see very often. In 2017 I got another one, but on that later… 

Doing yoga in the kitchen between making breakfast for my little one and morning coffee for myself! Every moment is good… .

My growing belly for the second time.

Most of our time we spent in the kitchen, baking, cooking, tasting 🙂

Meet our “No 2” who joined us in 2012.

and this is our newest addition to the family:

MORE UPDATES FROM OUR RECENT YEARS ARE COMING SOON… SO STAY UP TO DATE BY FOLLOWING THIS BLOG. THANK YOU!
