I love having things at home that have a story behind them.

This painting was actually here when we bought the apartment. We changed pretty much everything during the renovation, but somehow kept it.

I didn’t want to throw it away, but I also wanted something that felt more like us. So I decided to paint over it.

Of course, halfway through I completely changed my mind about what I was painting 😂

And somehow, what started as a random creative project turned into a little family portrait. Three cheetahs. Me, my husband and Dawid. Because cheetahs are his absolute favourite animals 🐆

Three days, barely any breaks, paint everywhere… and now probably my favourite thing in our home.

Definitely not what I planned, but I love that it turned out this way🤎 taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by @thekatebird

I used to put together an outfit and then choose the shoes.

then I discovered some Ukrainian brands.

Apparently “I have nothing to wear” sometimes means “I have something to wear, but it needs feathers”🪶

Had an event to go to and a yellow dress I’d never worn. A little too basic for the occasion, so naturally I gave myself a sewing project 🪡

Pink feathers, a little draping… suddenly I’m very interested in wearing it taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by @thekatebird

my camera roll, if you could hear it 🎧

i can’t do anything without music, so naturally my photo dump has a soundtrack too.

a song for each little moment — something i was listening to, had stuck in my head, or would pick as its soundtrack.

apparently even baking an apple pie needs one now 😌

think i’ll make this a regular thing 🎶 taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by @thekatebird

I’ve been waiting for this trip for sooooo long…

I almost missed it after coming down with pneumonia just one week before we left, but somehow I made it… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

The best part? Experiencing it all with my girls🤍 From spontaneous laughs and endless walks to beautiful dinners and unforgettable little moments, this trip was made even more special because of them.

I completely fell in love with Paris ( my first few times I had zero feelings for this city) and now I’m seriously considering living here for a while. I came back inspired by everything: the beauty, the art, the fashion, and that effortless French way of living.

I love how the French seem to know how to truly enjoy life ..slowly, beautifully, with good food, long walks, beautiful places and absolutely no rush.

Paris, you really got me this time🇫🇷🥐 taken in Paris, France by @thekatebird

back in Dubai after almost 6 months away 🌀
straight into school runs, family logistics & approximately 847 things on my to-do list 🫡

6 months away + moving everything back from Bali = opening boxes like mystery bags
“oh wow… I own this??” x 50

Dawid started first grade 🎒🧃
which is crazy because I’m pretty sure he was born last Tuesday

one child started school
three people’s lives got reorganised 📎🫠

my newest daily 6 am brain teaser: what can I put in this lunchbox that will actually come back EMPTY? 🫐
the stakes are surprisingly high

school until 2:30, Fridays until ELEVEN, no nanny & Dubai outside is currently preheating ♨️
we’ve entered the “make your own entertainment” era

back to my natural habitat 🛋️💻
laptop, low lighting & pretending this counts as an office

me after coming home:
“the apartment is finished. I’m not touching anything” 🧘🏻‍♀️

also me before the week was over: 🪚🪩📐
so… 1 or 2?

Przemek got himself a nice peaceful office
unfortunately, I found the spare desk 🧵🪑

sewing machine relocation pending…

Przemek trying to work
Dawid making sure work-life balance is taken VERY literally

until I master this school-mom thing
we’re keeping expectations realistic 🫡🥣

finally back to our evening walks around the neighbourhood
missed this part of our Dubai life so much

off to make dinner 🍳🧚🏻‍♀️
apparently cooking is part of my personality now

I was ready to get rid of this skirt, but apparently it has range. Even gave me a bonus look 💞

If you’d asked me at 22 where I’d be at 32, I would’ve never guessed this.

I genuinely believed successful people found one path early and stayed on it.

So every time I wanted something different, I thought something was wrong with me.

Now I think the opposite.
