ELEVEN! The double digits feel more real this year and at this age the birthday parties are becoming harder to come up with. Some of the girls are into makeup and some are still not there BUT everyone loves cake. What a lovely experience at Jeanettes Cakes! The unassuming building where its located does it...
A few weekends ago I had a client ask me, presumptively even, if I took lots of photos of my kids as a photographer (and all…). The answer was no, not really. It was a passion early on in the career, perhaps a self-driven desire to improve, to photograph the ordinary in my life. As...
March break this year came fast and we were without plans. Plane tickets skyrocketed due to some of the restrictions being lifted and we opted to drive to New Orleans, for the first time. It seemed to be way more complicated in our heads then in reality. Kids did amazing and the driving wasn’t bad...
As the summer is coming to a close on the calendar, I’m reviewing my camera roll to relive the experiences. Unlike me, I hardly reached for my DSLR while back home in Croatia. I didn’t want the camera to come in between experiencing any of the social gatherings or trips we took. It could also...
Another covid birthday for my girl. However, for this one we came prepared with our bubble friends and it was amazing. The girls had a sleepover party the weekend prior to the date, with cake, dancing, playing, pancakes and tie dye shirt making. It made me reminiscent of myself at that age and how awesome...
My little boy turned five this late August, and while we’re still in a pandemic we managed to have a small celebration. The kids needed this so badly. Since they’re still unable to vocalize mental health concerns I am never sure how this is affecting them. However, after seeing how happy Maja was to see...
Now that school is almost done I have time to finish this blog post that is long overdue. My roles are home have changed leaving less time for creativity outlets, but its also allowed time for growth and change. After homeschooling my kids for 3 months I’ve realized I make a poor teacher but luckily...
The Balkans all might seem very similar to an outsider but to those who live there know very well how we are all so different. Same goes for Hercegovina. The people, the dialect, the food, all differ so much from their neighbors that live jut 30km away. It is the birthplace of cevapi, my utmost...
Its become a tradition for us to visit Niagara-on-the-lake on the May long weekend and this year was no different. First, we go for a coffee and walk through Queen St. However, its become so busy on this particular weekend that we now scurry to the park at the end of “downtown”. With six kids...
Every year I do my best to make Maja’s birthday special. To incorporate her evolving interests and personality into the activity and theme of the birthday.
