I decided to change a bit my life & blog update posts and to publish them less frequently. I’ll post them every two months or once in three months or whatever schedule suits me best at the time.

So, let’s look back at my January firstly. We celebrated New Year’s at friends’. It was all right as new year’s parties go. Kids had lots of fun and we ate way too much. January wasn’t full of exciting events. It was a month of some tough decisions and some family issues. Kids had some medical check-ups too but luckily all is well. We had a fun day out on Platak. My free weekend finally coincided with some snow so kids got to enjoy some sledding and playing around in the snow. I went with kids to the night at the museum event and we saw an interesting football exhibition.

February was all about the carnival and costumes and masks. This year my son participated for the first time in the kid’s carnival parade in Rijeka and in Opatija. He was in his school’s group and they had a great choreography and a fish costume. We watched him dance in the streets with his friends braving the cold and the wind. Despite the weather, he enjoyed it. Our kids also attended a few costumed parties and we even won a tombola raffle with some great prizes for the kids. There were also a few kid’s birthdays in the past two months so we even spent Valentine’s at one of those. After a long time, my husband and I had a board game night without the kids.

I got to see the latest Bridget Jones movie with friends. It was lovely and we even had a free glass of champagne because it was special ladies night at the cinema. I like Bridget Jones movies even though I’ve outgrown them but they are still kind of comforting to me. I saw the latest Paddington movie with my kids too. I don’t know why kid’s movies have to be so fast-paced and action packed like adults’ movies. I got to see my best friends too and we finalized some last details for our upcoming trip.

As usually, January means posting a few overview posts such as looking back at the past year in terms of blog stats and mentioning the books I read. I managed to post a photography post of our December Budapest trip and I finally blogged about my Helsinki trip from 2023. If you have missed any of these posts, click below.

Published posts in January/February

I’m really looking forward to the end of this month and my girls’ trip. I won’t say where we are going but it’ll be a city break somewhere in western Europe.

How was your January and February? Any exciting travel plans for spring?
