Los Angeles – the final chapter
I will fit in here everything else I couldnt put in its own category.
(Мr.Blab said it was not very inspired work “just mailed it in”, he said)

Тhis is the outdoor mall in Glendale – the “Americana at Brand”
Looked brand spanking new and grand.
The shops were all around the park in the middle and there [...]

International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women
25th of November
I cant start this post with Happy International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women! It is a sad enough fact that this day needs to exist as a testament to the suffering of millions of women around the world. Its even more chilling to know that nowhere, nowhere in the world have [...]

Random creativity
I think I have mentioned it before, but I dont feel pressure to fill my kids time with activities. If they say “I am bored” for example, I dont feel like a bad mom shortchanging my offspring. It doesnt happen often, but if it does, I just say “then do something”.
And they do.
