Passionate about helping children living in poverty. I am a children's book author & social worker. Proverbs 16:24
I disappeared for a while.
Three years passed in a blur of motherhood, work, exhaustion, growth, and real life. But today I renewed this space because it still matters to me.
If you’re still here after all this time, thank you. I’m back — slowly, honestly, and with new stories to tell. 🤍
Have you seen the recent interview with Martha Stewart on Netflix!?
If not, then you are missing a beautiful, blessed and amazing story that most probably will inspire you ❤️ 🙏
Wow, she was and is such a vibrant, inspirational woman. So creative and tough. I simply love ❤️ her.
Check it out on Netflix

My house, actually wait, it’s not my house, it’s a rented house, so my rented house which I really like but expensive, it’s very disorganised!
This makes me lazy, you would say?! Well, I consider myself a busy mom, not a lazy mom. You still don’t believe me?
Here is my invitation for you, please join me for a cuppa, from 12 pm to 2 pm you’re more than welcome! Before “my tiger” invites herself for tea…
I am enjoying my English tea, right in these moments. It’s called self-care.
Amelia is sleeping after her first day of settling in at the nursery and what better way of relaxing a mom can have than a cup of tea and a 10 minutes of reading…
Tidying up this home is scheduled for Friday, as for Saturday a guest is coming for a visit.
I am not even making dinner tonight; I have already informed my husband and he said “That’s ok”! I don’t think his brain was transmitting the information correctly to the right wire, but I recorded him so I have the proof!
We need days like this, where all that matters is the child and nothing else.
Being Amelia’s mother it’s a blessing! But let me tell you that I have dark circle around my eyes. I am sleep-deprived!
She is teething and using my breasts as a dummy during the night, or wakes up crying 5-10 minutes and then back to sleep.
Oh, yes, I am trying to wean her off but takes time.
We are in 2024 not 1995 when my inexperienced mother listened to a “witch” neighbour to apply some chilli powder around her breast to wean me off. My mother stated that my mouth was swollen and I cried all night long, well what would she expect!?
Amelia is just fine, playing while myself is sitting and wishing for 2 more hours of sleep.
Wait, are you wondering why I am not calling a family member to look after her while I rest? Good joke, there’s no one, apart from me and her Dad!
All her so-called family is in Romania, but even if we were in Romania I don’t see anyone coming to help, or maybe one of my sisters 🤔…
Some parents were blessed with childcare for free and others with this statement “Please pay your childcare fees by the 10th of this month 60% of your salary!”
With the rest of the 40% pay half of your rent, and welcome to the UK!
Amelia will be starting nursery in 1 week. Blessings and tears surely are about to happen 🙏
Parenting is all about loving unconditionally, waking up at 2 AM, paying nursery fees, wishing for 2 more hours of sleep when you know the Genie is blocked in the teapot 🫖 and drinking 5 coffees a day to keep that motivation and so much more.
Stay humble and honest, parents!
Happy 2024!
We wish you a blessed new year!
The year 2023 was a blessing to me as a Mommy to Amelia
Started in early January to be a 24/7 Mommy and it was tough! Why, you may wonder, well not having anyone (apart from my husband) to support, and comfort you when the baby is sick, colicky is though, overwhelming!
Wished I had a friend, mom, or mother-in-law to at least tell me “Hey, let me hold her for 5 minutes, this shall pass too”.
My husband did all he knew and felt was responsible in that moment but having a woman support you as a new mom must be a blessing!
I learnt a lot this year, how to be more patient, resilient, emotionally stable, and organised as a Mommy while taking care of my home and family. I did it! In a week Amelia is turning 1.
Now, at the end of 2023, I can only be thankful for becoming a Mother.
Thank you as well for your support towards our families from Budila. 41 kids and 12 families had a splendid ✨️ Christmas 🎄
Hello dear readers,
This year we are blessing 10 families withntheor Christmas dinner and presents 🎁 for the little ones.
These families are living in poverty, some are widows, low income…
We can make the children smile 😃
Would you donate one smile for them? Sharing is caring too!
A phobia is an extreme fear of something or a situation.
This is a complex phobia that can be developed after the adolescence period. We also call this ”social anxiety”.
Social phobia makes the person feel anxious when they have to be in contact with other people. They might be frightened that other people are going to criticise them or that they will do something embarassing.
Social phobia can be about only one social activity like speaking to group, called public speaking. This is common known as stage fright and can result in vomiting and may render the person literally speechless and unable to performe.
Many people are stuck in a bubble 🫧 not progressing in doing what they want/love to do because of not having the necessary tools to get out of their bubble. But what is that God wants us to do, stay there and moan? I think God wants us to burst the bubble and blossom 🌸. Do what we can with what we have, with faith 🙏 in Him.
Have a great Thursday!
Someone supported our fundraising with £5, much appreciated!
Please consider supporting the little ones. I am attaching the link here.
Do you often feel discouraged or overwhelmed by life? Like how everything seems to go wrong and you need words of encouragement to get by?
You need to feel weak for you to be strong. Your failures, while they do not define you as a person, determine your success.
