#Sponsored I still remember the time after I had just had my first child and was sitting on the couch crying my eyes out because everybody said that I couldn't really continue the career that I wanted. I was told that now I would have to do that which everyone else does because that was just the way things were. I had so much pressure because everyone expected me to fit within the frame that wasn’t who I was, nor what I envisioned for myself.
.
While I tried to keep everybody happy, at one point the realization came that my life is mine and I didn’t have to fall into anybody’s expectations. And while yes there wasn’t anybody doing that which I wanted to do, the only thing that was stopping me from laying the path for myself was simply me, my fears, and someone else’s standards of good and normal.
.
The first few tries were ridiculously scary, I did not know what I was doing. I hated myself and questioned if I was good enough of a mother for wanting to pursue my dreams just as much as I wanted my kids to be able to pursue theirs, but at one point it dawned on me that I couldn’t really reach my full potential as a mother if I didn’t reach my full potential as a person. Once that realization hit, everything started to fall into place.
.
Fast forward to today. While the path was not easy at times, I have zero regrets. Sure, not everything was perfect, but that’s just life in its essence.
So, to all women out there who feel the weight of society's pressure to be something they don’t want to be, know that it absolutely is possible to go for your dreams and stand for what you want in life. We can choose to go for our dreams without sacrificing motherhood, or any other thing that may seem to be standing in the way.

И ещё один пост о жизни.
Я помню, как сейчас, время, когда родился Николик, мой самый первый человечек, ему было несколько месяцев, а я сидела на диване и плакала, потому что все вокруг твердили, что на карьере и мечтах теперь нужно было ставить крест. Все повторяли, что теперь я должна быть, «как все», потому что «так положено». Давление со стороны ⤵️

{русский: муж}
Who knew you would love stories so much🤗
I will do more Q&As then!
Don’t worry, all was done proper and in accordance with Justin’s wishes. Trust me, if he objected to being put under the spotlight like that, he would neither have his own page, nor answer questions. 😊
.
But I want to sum up a couple of things right here and right now. I got quite a few “oh, if only my husband was like this!..”, “if only I had ... then it would be perfect!”.
.
You know, but you already have that.
.
In that “imperfect” and the one “who would be better”, you have the very perfect person you are looking for.
It’s so easy to get lost in comparisons, get offended, find 100 reasons why someone else is better and, quite, literally, set your mind that something is wrong with your relationship, when the reality is... all is JUST FINE.
.
As people, humans, somehow we are always looking for that “ideal” something. Also, too often, we realize that we had that very ideal we spend so much time looking for, right by our side. Usually, that realization comes after we loose it.
.
I guarantee, all of you who wrote how amazing my husband is and how you wish yours was the same, took all his fun qualities
and added them to all the great qualities of your men. Right? And ended up with all-around perfect human.🤗
Except, who said my husband has the qualities you assume are “a given” ?
Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t 🤗
.
A balance, ladies, it exists in all things, including character. Much as I strive for self-improvement and all-around perfection myself, my “fairy”-size is balanced out with a healthy dose of a “witch”. Just ask Justin.
.
So, don’t waste your time fixing that which is not broken. Those “perfect ones” are most likely already by your sides 😘🤗

Вот кто бы знал, что сториз вам так понравятся. 🤗
Не переживайте - все сделано чинно и с полного согласия мужа. Не был бы согласен, ни свою бы страничку не вёл бы, ни на мои вопросы не отвечал бы. Уж, поверьте.
.
Хочу суммировать несколько
«Вот если бы у меня был такой хороший муж, то ⤵️

Off for a weekend, because it’s FRIDAY!
.
How we do it:
Very simple! A couple of my musts:
• don’t stress. The worst can happen we forget something. For as long as it’s not one of the kids, it’s easily fixable
.
• kids are responsible for their own entertainment. I have THEM pack their toys and fun.
Guys, this is the best thing ever. They take that which they want to play with and they Don’t get bored!
*side effect : Pre-sort the toys you let them choose from so they don’t bring EVERYTNING. Because they will! 😂
.
• I stash a few extras that I know they will love and show it only during the trip. Works magic. Side-effect: kids will except something fun every time after the first 😂, so, you really need to work hard not to disappoint.
.
• MOST important item: good attitude and sense of humor. Laugh more. Really.
What’s the worst thing that can happen?Things won’t go as plan.🤗
My question is:
What in life does?!
.
Anyone has any fun personal stories?!
What is your one most important tip for a fun weekend getaway?
~
Куда идём мы с пятачком?! ГУЛЯТЬ! Потому что у нас 3 дня выходных!
.
Как мы ездим куда-либо с детьми? Да очень просто, на самом деле!
.
Во некоторые мои личные лайфхаки:
• не стрессовать. Худшее, что можешь случиться - что-то забудется. Если это не один их детей, проблема очень даже легко решаемая на месте. Вот, честное слово.
• дети ответственны за свои собвенные игрушки.
Леди и джентельмены, это был гениальный выход однажды дать возможность детям самим взять свои игрушки.
Они берут то, с ЧЕМ ХОТЯТ ИГРАТЬ! И потом, самое главное, действительно с этим играют.
*заметки: только прежде, чем дать им возможность выбирать игрушки, отсортируйте некоторые. А то они ВСЕ возьмут. Тоже, проверено на опыте.
.
• возьмите некоторые новые игрушки тли игры «на всякий случай», если надо чем-то срочно занять малышей. Всегда волшебно работает.
*личные заметки: только после первого раза вам всегда придётся иметь что-то интересное под рукой, ибо «боссы будут ждать», а боссов разочаровывать нельзя - это все знают 😂
.
• САМАЯ главная вещь: берите с собой хорошее настроение, здравый пофигизм и чувство юмора. Просто смейтесь больше.
Ну, что самое страшное может случится? ⤵️

#Sponsored One of my favorite images. Doesn’t that light just set the mood?! I ❤️ my @Sengled.
.
Do you daydream?
I have to.
No, really, it’s a must. I love cuddling in “my” corner with a book, a cup of tea or almond milk cappuccino and think about life ahead.
I kind of plan a little. I imagine what my kids will be like when grown up. Think of work and all the million ideas I want to implement.
I feel so recharged and so inspired after, it’s my little treat to myself, I love when I have a chance to just chill for a few minutes in the middle of the week.
Some call it visualizing. Some call it mediation. I call it daydreaming.
.
Do you daydream? What about? #Element #SmartLighting #CreateYourElement
~~~~~~~~~
Вы мечтаете?
Я - всегда.
Мне это просто необходимо. Спрятаться где-нибудь в уютном уголке с книгой, одеялом и чашкой кофе или чая, и просто немножко подумать.
О жизни. Сегодняшней и , уже, прошедшей. О будущем. О планах, которые, скорее всего, перевернутся с ног на голову, потому что... жизнь, она такая🤗.
Подумать о работе и миллионе и тысяче идей, которые хочется воплотить вот прямо сегодня.
А потом встаёшь, и вдруг энергии в два раза больше и ощущение, что можешь радугу с неба достать. И все как-то ладится. Даже если и день быть вверх-тормашками.
.
Кто-то называет это визуализацией. Кто-то говорит - медитация. Для меня - мечты.
А ведь мечты, они должны сбываться, особенно девичьи, правда же?
.
Есть мечтатели тут? Сбываются мечты ваши?

I had a few requests for must-read books for pregnancy and birth prep, I think it would be great to share our favorites! what do you think?!
Here are some of the favs on my list:
• Grof’s basic perinatal matrices ; Stanislav Grof.
Groundbreaking for me. You will never look at your child again the same way. I applied his suggestions, the difference was huge.
• Expecting better ; Emily Oster.
This is a fresh look on all standard things pregnancy related. I think there are lots of great things!
• Mindful Birthing; Nancy Bardacke
I think is a good middle ground, mixing the alternative and using modern science and medicine.
• Hypnobabies course. It’s different from hypnobirthing. I personally love the “babies” a lot more and everyone I know who compared the two, agreed that hypnobabies has a better effect. But we all are different 🤗
.
What do you, guys, want to add? What was most helpful to you? I also loved pregnancy diaries - simple, but kept me happy. Anyone used those? Or apps?
#pregnancy #booklist #livingnotesqanda
~
Так, просили список книг для подготовки к родам и почитать во время беременности: пишу!
Некоторые из моих любимых:
• Grof’s basic perinatal matrices ; Stanislav Grof.
Для меня это был переворот сознания. На малыша больше никогда вы не посмотрите так же и понятие «ребёнок раздражает» вообще перестаёт существовать. Самая сильная книга для меня. • Expecting better ; Emily Oster.
Мне очень нравится этот современный подход к беременности. Без всяких «ахов/охов», а так, как на самом деле есть. • Mindful Birthing; Nancy Bardacke
Чудесная золотая середина, на мой взгляд: представляет альтернативную точку зрения, но без фатализма и с уважением к науке и медицине.
• Hypnobabies курс.
Отличается от Гипнородов - техника и исполнение другое, и , как на мой взгляд, так и их опыта других, «babies» более эффективен. Очень рекомендую!
.
А ещё, я использовала просто дневник для беременных - мне очень нравились ежедневные заметки. Кто пользовался такими? Ещё приложения есть разные тоже.
.
Кто что читал/читает, что можете порекомендовать? Что для вас было самым информативным во время беременности?

7th.
.
7th time the nervousness of waiting for the coveted 2 lines.
7th time around puking all 9 months again.
7th time the worry of “what ifs”
7th time breathing through contractions.
7th time around without full night sleep.
7th time around worrying about every cough and sneeze.
7th time tossing and turning at night, wondering if I am good enough of a mother.
.
And also:
.
7th time the thrill and happiness when two lines appear.
7th time around having my heart skip a bit when seeing a heart flutter on ultrasound screen.
7th time the indescribable feeling of kicks inside.
7th time around the tears of joy, when kissing your cheek for the first time.
7th time the happiness of celebrating each milestone.
7th time around dreaming about your happiness and life.
7th time the LOVE.

My happy rainbow wouldn’t be complete without you. 💙

7й раз переживаний и ожиданий сторон зачетной полосочки.
7й раз снова 9ти месячного токсикоза.
7й раз переживаний “а что если?? А вдруг?»
7й раз выходи и расслабления на схватках.
7й раз нового потока бессонных ночей.
7й раз переживаний о каждом чихе и покашливании.
7й раз бессонница по ночам, и голова полная переживаний - а достаточно ли я хорошая мама?
.
А ещё...
.
7й раз счастья и радости, когда показались две заветные полосочки.
7й раз сердце замирало от счастья при мерцании монитора УЗИ.
7й раз неописуемое чувство пиночков изнутри.
7й раз слезы счастья при поцелуе своей тёплой щечки в первый раз.
7й раз радость при каждом твоём новом достижении.
7й раз мечтаний о твоей жизни и молитв о твоём счастье.
7й раз ЛЮБОВЬ.

Становится ли легче? Нет, не становится.
Но и появляется с каждым разом все больше.
Мамочки, ведь так? .

{рус.ниже: письма читателей}
An excerpt from a letter that made us all tear up. We changed the referral to “Madame”, took out some personal details and got the approvals to publish from the reader.
Not all letters are like this. Some are funny. Some are inspirational. But some touch the deepest fibers of your heart. This one did for us. Just read. #LettersToMadame
“Dear Madame,
Why can’t I just be enough? Why do I have to be perfect at everything? Why is it never good enough no matter what I do?!
Ever since my childhood, I was expected to become this perfect something that doesn’t exist.
.
You know the crazy part? I was. I was that “perfect something that doesn’t exist”. I achieved all that was expected of me and more. I never disobeyed. I always brought good grades. I always listened to advice. I never really had any true friends. Not even pets. Not really. But I never complained. Why would I? I loved everyone just because they WERE who they were. I loved everyone.
.
You know what’s even more crazy?
Even when I exceeded all expectations, I never heard a simple “well done!”.
I was told “well, it’s good, but you could do even better”.
So I tried. And tried. And tried. And tried.
I wanted everyone to be happy.
.
Fast forward to adulthood.
.
It doesn’t matter what I do, it’s still never good enough. I achieved so much! More then some do in their entire lives! But it’s still not good enough! The plank just keeps being raised higher, and higher, and higher.
Why?!
When I ask that question, I always hear “because I love you! It’s good for you!”
But where is LOVE?!
And where is that so-called good?!
And most importantly... why can’t “I” just simply be enough? Without all the bells and whistles?
Why can’t I just receive that which I have always given: the love that it not measured by “somethings”, but is just that:
LOVE.
Why?
And also... why can’t I simply CHOOSE my path, MY life, and my own happiness?”
{ your reader}
.
~ My dear Reader,
Please, know that you ARE enough. Without bells and whistles. You are.
And ALWAYS will be.
And I can assure you, that you are loved for just being you. I am confident.
Love is a tricky thing for some to understand, and ⤵️

#ad Prepping for the day, and while on that topic, here is a handy beauty tip. For everyone that has been wondering how I keep my manicures up:
I use a long lasting nail polish. #cndvinylux has been my go-to for a few years now. They have some home options that last for up to a week. The polish is chip-resistant. It’s perfect for do-it-yourself nails or for touch ups in between salon visits. It’s not any different from anything you already do. It does not require a lamp, and you can easily find it at @cvspharmacy @cndworld #CVSbeauty #tips

Куда я, туда и они. Материнство 🤗
По теме материнства и красоты: маникюр у меня - лучший секрет века, которым я постоянно делюсь, но , почему-то, мало кто помнит ( ибо, «когда вы ещё маникюр успеваете делать?» вопрос постоянный)
.
Я использую шеллак или виниловый лак уже много лет - вот и все секреты. Держится минимум 2 недели, как свежий, в потом начинает слезать. У меня и «домашний» безламповый вариант есть во всех моих любимых цветах на случай, если надо «починить» маникюр, а к мастеру не успеваю. У нас в каждом магазинчике в отделе красоты продаётся и стоит копейки.
Из моего опыта, важно подобрать варианты брендов, которые подходят вам, мне далеко не все мега-популярные бренды подошли. Вот и все🤗
.
Кто пользуется шеллаком? Лучше обычного лака же? Или с обычным легче?

{рус: новое и интересное!}
Friends - I am beyond happy today.
After 5 months of work, ups and downs, remakes, set backs and redoing everything at least 10 times, we are ready.
#MadameWithAStroller, that we piloted last year and you have gotten a peek into, is finally here.
.
As you already know, series with Madame focus on all things you asked for in a creative way we envisioned it.
.
But there is more to Madame today, than what we originally thought of her.
Today Madame is also a VOICE.
Your voice.
.
Madame never shows her face, because her faces are many. She is there to be a voice for you ALL, who have things to say that you don’t want to do openly or simply... can’t. At LivingNotes, sometimes we receive close to 100 letters a day. Personal letters. Your questions. Your joys. Your tears. Your regrets or your search for advice. Many of you often asked to publish letters anonymously so that others can help you find your way or learn from your experiences. We’ve created #LettersToMadame , a column where all the things you want to voice can be said in a non-judging, safe environment. Madame will voice all types letters: from inspirational stories that give you that needed boost, to life lessons and, sometimes, regrets, that we all can learn from, to many other topics. Let me tell you, we’ve teared up more than once while preparing this column, and other times we laughed and cheered for you, while reading your letters. I know one thing - no one was left untouched.
Please, continue to DM your stories or send your letters to info@living-notes.com , but now with a subject “letters to Madame”.
.
And then there is a social Madame, of course. .
#MadameWithAStroller has style, she appreciates good food, loves to travel and stay on top of social things and all things art related, and she is a lady, whose life before the baby is not much different from her life with the baby, except wherever she goes now, she goes with a stroller.
She is the best girlfriend a girl could ask for and a loving companion to her second half.
Madame comes with a vast experience of different cultures and has quite a few things to share. Modern Mary Poppins? Could be!
.
Each month ⤵️

The royal kiss 😘😍
.
Who is watching the #royalwedding today?!
I don’t think there is one person who wasn’t moved by the ceremony.
Best wishes to newest Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
.
What do you think?! Wasn’t the ceremony so emotional? I loved Megan’s modern, but very delicate dress! Thoughts?!
.
#meganmarkle #princeharry
~~~~~~~~
Королевский поцелуй 😘😍
.
Кто смотрит свадьбу Меган Маркел и Принца Гарри сегодня?! Мне кажется, нет ни одного человека, кого не тронула бы эта церемония.
Можно только пожелать огромного счастья молодоженам.
.
Кто смотрел? Что думаете? Такая эмоциональная церемония, правда?
Меган - красавица. Мне очень понравился ее современный, но утончённый образ. А вам как?

{рус: кс или ер}
A couple of days ago I had a friend reach out and cry on the phone about the fact that her Dr wanted her to have a c-section again.
She felt like a total failure, and we spent good hour and a half on the phone with her crying and me comforting her. It took some solid facts to lighten her mood and for her to feel like - I am quoting - “a normal woman” again.
.
It broke my heart to hear those words. But I know that she is not alone.
.
I hope that every one of you moms out there don’t let anyone’s views and opinions get crawling into your heads. A birth is a beautiful moment. Surreal and magical.
It doesn’t matter HOW your baby came into this world - the important part is you BOTH are healthy, happy and ALIVE.
.
I had two inductions and the rest were natural births. I can relate to thinking that something is wrong with my body and doubting if it can ever perform the “designed” way. Fearing that the labor “won’t happen” or “something will go wrong”. It took lots of work and practice to get over those fears in preparation for births.
.
Over the years I have, however, learned that what is designed as a life source for one can be a death sentence to another. I have learned that focusing on ideals is limiting, and letting go of control is the path to inner peace.
I loved my peaceful births at home, but let me tell you, I wouldn’t think twice if I heard that a c-section would be better for my baby’s health. And mine too. After all, all babies need their moms.
.
There is no such thing as a “better birth”. The best birth is the one that keeps both, you and your baby healthy and safe.
There is a big difference between a c-section for “personal convenience reasons” and a c-section that saves lives and health.
Even if the latter is scheduled at a convenient time.
.
Take if from a mom of 7: every mom is a hero. Motherhood is no easy feat.
Enjoy the smiles and kisses from your little one - let THAT be your guide in life 😘

Double trouble, ten times the fun, and infinite amount of surprises from these two.

You know, in my vision I had Vasilisa and Evyianne as “twins” - logically, it would make sense, they are much closer in age.
But it is these two who are best mates, worst enemies and simply can’t live without each other.

{русс:женственность и работа}
Women - let’s talk about women.
.
I have a lot of replies from stories on topic of womanhood and emancipation.
.
I think we are confusing some things. Let’s break a few things down:
• emancipation has nothing to do with forcing women to do the job they don’t feel like doing.
It has everything to do with women being able to be heard, being able to be respected and being able to be paid the same as men are for the job they perform equally.
• men and women are different. For sure!
But stating “well, women just can’t do the same physical work as man can” stands on nothing. Of course, women cannot do all that men can. Neither can men birth, breastfeed and nurture children.
What does it have to do with being equally paid for the job done equally good?🤗
The measuring bar should be the work, should it?
• women take more time off because of kids - no, not true. Some sub-cultures EXPECT women to take more time off. The question is - WHY? Both parents are very equally capable of taking care of sick kids, of getting up at night and of sharing the parental responsibilities, aren’t they? It takes TWO for the baby to be born, it definitely takes that many to raise one as well.
If i am correct, in Sweden the leave is both - maternal and paternal. BOTH parents are able to take a year off get adjusted to the life with the new baby. We could take a leaf out of their book.
• there is a big difference between a woman making a CHOICE to stay at home and take whatever role she wants and a woman who is forced to succumb to a mold that someone feels she should be in - don’t you agree?
Wouldn’t you think that YOU ( and gender doesn’t matter here ) should be paid the same for a job you do as good as someone else does? That seems logical, right? Results is all that matters.
So, why are we finding excuses as to why pay women less? What do you think?

Motherhood in a nutshell:
it’s worth it all because of those eyes 😍
.
PS: we have a crawler, guys! He is still a little unsure, but he is crawling! I am so happy on one side, and so ... slightly sad on the other side. These milestones are so emotional to me. I know, we’ve “been there, done that” 7 times already, but there is something about him being last that all these little things mean 1000 times more.
.
Anyone can relate? It always feels like I want to push a “time freeze button”. This time I don’t - I want him to grow, but it’s oh, so bitter-sweet. You know what I mean?

Материнство в одном предложении:
пойдёшь на все ради этих глазок.😍
.
PS: а мы ползаем! Медленно и неуверенно, но ползаем! Я так рада, с одной стороны, а с другой ... немного грустно. Эти новые ступеньки несут с собой столько эмоций. Да, я знаю, что не в первый раз нам уже через все это проходить, но , наверное потому, что Елисенок - младший, все эти шажки вперёд значат в 1000 раз больше.
.
У кого было так? Всегда хочется остановить время, хоть на секунду. Но тут другое - я хочу , чтобы он рос и делал первые независимые шажки вперёд, но сердце немножко щемит внутри. Понимаете о чем я?

In the world filled with all types modern trends of success,
if I were to pick one I always stand behind, it’s motherhood.
I believe that women can be what they want to be. I believe that every woman is a mother to someone, and each of us has our own definition of a family that is not always defined by blood.
I believe that amongst all of the “musts” of life, family and motherhood are the two things that worth celebrating daily. They are worth all the effort, they are worth all the sleepless nights, they are worth every second of every day.
Motherhood is not glamorous.
Motherhood is happiness.
.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all 💞

В современном мире, переполненном трендами и определениями «успешной жизни», если бы я могла выбрать что-то только одно, это было бы материнство.
Я верю в то, что женщины могут и должны быть самими собою. Я верю в то, что любая женщина является матерью для кого-то,; в то, что у нас у каждого есть своё определение термина «семья», и это не всегда кровно-родственные связи.
Я верю в то, что из всего, что можно праздновать, семья и материнство заслуживают празднования каждый день. Они стоят всех требуемых усилий. Они стоят всех бессонных ночей. Они стоят каждой секунды каждого дня.
Материнство - это не гламур.
Материнство - это самое счастливое счастье.
.
С Днём Мамы всех празднующих! 💞

Now, that I’ve shared the relaxation and mind clearing techniques that I use, here are a few hacks that help me stay focused and productive throughout the day, and allow to maximize the time:
• time blocks
Blocking out small segments of time, 5 to 15 minutes, to do something doesn’t seem overwhelming, but is very helpful.
Set a timer for 5-15 minutes. As you keep practicing, you won’t need to use timer, the sense of time will come organically.
• reward
Get into a competition mode with self: set a timer and tackle something that is being put in the back drawer because it’s too overwhelming to do. Set a goal that’s big for 5 minutes and then set a timer; mentally break a big task into several small sub-tasks and tackle as many as possible of those in 5 minutes. If the goal is reached - get a reward! In times like these, I plan something that I really love but find it hard to justify the time for.
• layering
Layer, layer, layer : there are lots of things that take 2 minutes to start that can be layered with other things. Set a dedicated productivity hour and fill it with tasks that can be layered one over he other. It takes 2-3 minutes to start laundry; at most 5 minutes to start a multicooker, I fill the remaining time in 5-15 minutes blocks and speed-tackle 3-4 different things during that hour.
Try it for one hour, and I promise, one concentrated hour will free up 3 hours in your day.
~ tips to note:
* kids - get them helping or reserve a safe space where they can do whatever they want while you are doing what you need.
* phone calls/text - unless phone calls fall under the dedicated category or it’s an emergency, don’t answer.
* background music is great, “background TV” is not so great.

How do you multitask and stay concentrated?
