Girls just wanna have fun and equal rights

March 8, 2023

I think in this day and age everyone knows that feminists can bake, make sandwiches and give blowjobs. That much is clear. What still isn’t a hundred percent clear is that feminism is not about women becoming men and having to posses male qualities to become equal. I know what feminism primarily is for me. It’s living in a world…

Why I constantly talk about food and why it’s such a big topic for me

February 11, 2023

I think the title explains exactly what’s on my mind. I share little texts about nutrition here and there, especially in relation to kids, but I never feel like I have enough space to exactly explain what I mean. A lot of the time, I feel like it comes across as over the top, almost hysterical. So here’s my take…

On fathers and mothers

February 1, 2023

I feel like I have started writing this text to stress the importance of fathers, but it took a completely different turn and all I produced was just a stream of my thoughts. The text was long forgotten in the midst of moving continents. Now, months later, after having left Australia, with our perfect regime of massages, pottery, pilates, physio,…

Bad Ideas

November 6, 2022

A few weeks ago, I have shared a text about the old cottage that we have recently moved into. In the spirit of authenticity, I was going to write about everything. On the day I finally sat down to write, I was in a great mood, the weather was fantastic so the text that appeared on my screen was a…

The real village experience

October 3, 2022

I don’t even know how it happened, but suddenly we are living in a village and living the real village life as it comes. Not the Instagramable village life where you gather walnuts, bake delicious goodies and your kids are somehow still clean. It’s the real Czech village life experience. In a house that’s god knows how old and hasn’t…

Moving overseas – with little kids

September 14, 2022

I am fully aware that I am not the first person to move overseas with two little kids, but it didn’t make it any easier. It wasn’t just a move, it was a move of our first family home. First real home, first home of my own, where I have spent more than two years – six to be exact.…

Instagram versus reality

March 31, 2022

Throughout all the travels, living abroad and raising family across the world, I have learned that it’s not always the good memories that stay with you for life, but the strong ones. Let’s say that on this holiday we have certainly made some strong memories. If you glance at my photos on Instagram, you might think that we are rocking…

Truth be told.

March 11, 2022

(Please excuse any mistakes and incoherent thoughts as I only had 15 minutes for this text.) To say that I have been feeling overwhelmed in the past days (or has it been weeks) is a massive understatement. Having sleepless nights with various members of the family feeling under the weather is a challenge enough. Throw in a need to organise…

It’s absolutely bananas

January 18, 2022

Today I got to use up about thirty bananas. I made banana bread, smoothies, froze up some in a mash for baby food and froze the rest. All the time remembering how not so long ago, in a very recent history to get a couple of bananas back in Czech Republic meant you had to stand in a line clutching…
