Life & blog update: October 2025

Life & blog update: October 2025 was….a very good month with several autumnal outings. There was yet another fun work trip to Italy and my kids attended several birthday parties. So, read on to find out about our October’s highlights.

My husband attended the board game fair in Germany ( Essen Spiel ) as every year. His first ever board game was presented last year (Choconnect by Snovid) and this year he had another game out. This year Ares published his game Tedoku. We’re all very proud of him.

I took my daughter to the theater for the first time ever. We watched the ballet Cinderella. We’ve both enjoyed it very much. I especially liked the expressive performance of the evil stepsisters. My son’s been playing football matches every Sunday. It’s a bit tiring to wake up early every Sunday but he really loves it and he’s actually quite good at it. My daughter’s still doing gymnastics. Both of my kids love spending time outdoors which is something that many kids don’t do anymore. Here’s a lovely and uplifting video of some Colombian kids playing in the streets if you want to check it out.

We visited a kind of farm/animal place at the beginning of the month. It’s actually in our town but you’d never guess that you’re just 15 minutes away from the busy streets since it’s located in a kind of a small forest. There are horses, mini goats, chickens and rabbits and a cow and a wild boar. We also took a hiking day trip. We went to the beautiful forest area of Croatia (Gorski kotar) and hiked on two paths: Zeleni vir which leads you to a pretty waterfall and Vražji prolaz (Devil’s passage) which is a canyon hike that ends in a cave. It was a perfect autumnal day out full of sunshine and colourful leaves and my kids loved searching for the mushrooms.

Have I mentioned that I’ve started exercising finally? I used to exercise regularly but I just didn’t have the time nor energy in the last two years to do it until now. Other than that nothing else is newsworthy.

The month ended with a great Halloween party for the kids. So, as you can see we’ve all had a very good month.

How was your October? Any travel plans for November/December?

Published posts in October

Have a great November!
