About Me

Hello dear mums who find this blog. My name is Anja and I am a proud mum of two wonderful children. In 2020 I became a mum for the first time, and it was wonderful, exhilarating, terrifying, anxiety-inducing, boring, overwhelming, aggravating, a dream-come-true, enraging, engaging, and so much more. Working with children has been a huge part of my life – even before I had kids, and it’s a topic I have read on and researched extensively.

I wanted a new place to share my personal experiences as a mother, as well as share books to read, lifestyle tips and talk about books I have read on parenting and life as a parent. Thank you for coming along on this journey with me, and I hope we can be friends.
