2024 just ended. Holiday is over. I just dropped off the kids back at school and finally had time for some reflection: In the first four months of 2024, I focused on self-care. My younger daughter turned 1 on January 10, 2024, and after the very important first year where I 200% devoted to her,

It’s been one month since I started this blog. Guess what? Job still not found 😅. Last week my family went on a vacation with my parents in law and brothers in law in Bethany beach. We had a great family time, except that my husband was sick for most of the trip. My kids

My mind has been busy in the past few weeks with job applications. I mainly feel stressed. The last week was a bit more exciting, but this week I am “back” to self-doubt, disappointment and at the same time trying so that I am not too consumed about these negative feelings. Just a few minutes
