If you don't know what to do with the glass jars that you don't need anymore, you can paint something and put some flowers, pencils or whatever you want inside...

I had a good rest today, while my child was making this plasticine house...
@Jelena
I saw this painted wall on the street. I was watching it for a few minutes and I really rested my eyes. Nice view.
@Jelena
Today, after more than 50 years when we have modern technology, the music still sounds better on this old gramophone and piano...
@Jelena
Do you see anything strange in this photo? 😊I was in the car when I saw this. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. At first I was scared and then I realized it was someone’s joke. A scary joke.😊
@Jelena
Autumn sunset at the sea. I don't know if there is anything more beautiful...
@Jelena
Autumn brings grapes, a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you want to eat something healthy today, eat grapes. These grapes were harvested yesterday in my grandfather's vineyard...

One good way to feel and taste a Greece at home is to make a Greek salad. 😊

Good morning😊

Do your kids like garbage trucks? My son loves garbage trucks very much. Every night he waits for the garbage truck to pick up the garbage and then he goes to sleep. Sometimes in the evening we have to wait a long time for the garbage collectors to come... 😊
@Jelena
Every time we have stale bread, we go to the river and feed the swans. My son likes to feed them. Relaxing family time...
@Jelena
I don't like when I have to put the phone on the floor or on the table while it is charging. I saw this idea on the internet and I like it. It can be easily made.
@Jelena
I love street art. Brazilian street artist Fabio Gomes Trindade is great. He combines painting and nature. I like his works.
@Jelena
You don't have to be a painter to paint a picture. You can always paint something that inspires you and it doesn't matter if the painting is professional or if the picture is nice or not. It is important that you like it and that your eyes like to see it every morning when you wake up. Little things make life better.
@Jelena
My son just gave me this. It is the most beautiful flower bouquet I've ever received. 😊
@Jelena
It's time for fig jam. All you need are figs, lemon and sugar, but just a little, because they are sweet enough. The taste is great!
@Jelena
My son went to the doctor with this scary mask. He scared all the medical workers there.😊 He likes to wear it. Halloween mode
@Jelena
Do you like stone art? It is very decorative and you can make a lot of things with stones. I am thinking about some ideas to make something interesting and I found this pictures on the internet.
@Jelena
Eucalyptus tree. It smells so good. I can't wait to feel that refreshing scent again. I also like eucalyptus tea. I got it from Turkey. It is good for relaxation and stress relief.
@Jelena
Today I made a turkey meat whit pasta called "mlinci" for lunch, for the first time. My family liked it. "Mlinci" is a thin dried flatbread that is easy to prepare by simply pouring boiled salted water or soup over. Turkey meat has many health benefits and that's why it was my choice today.
@Jelena
I have only one memory from the place where I was born and that is the most valuable thing I have. These little stones were taken from the beach of that beautiful place in Croatia. I would like to visit soon that place again. I haven't been there for a long time. These stones make me happy. What is your favourite memory?
@Jelena
It's nice when people strive to make their environment more pleasant and beautiful. I was walking when I saw this little train made of wooden crates. When you put flowers inside, it looks really nice and decorative. If you have your own yard you can use this idea.
@Jelena
The tree of life There are some moments in our lifetime which happen so quickly and spontaneously, but leave a strong impression and worth memory. I am a mother of 4 year old boy and 7 month old girl. Every moment I spend with them is a new experience and new reason for smiling. Last weekend was very sunny and we enjoyed a day by the river. Some places make you feel free, relaxed and happy. That was just such a place. Long quay with path for driving bycucles, few street…
@Jelena
My favourite educational toy. The puzzle. We have a lot of puzzles and it's not just a toy. It's so beneficial activity. My kid and I have a great time every morning while we are putting together the puzzle. Except brain developing, this activity improves your child's self confidence and its emotional, attentional and social skills. If you have a kids, encourage them to play with puzzle.
@Jelena
There are a lot of old plane trees in the place where I live. They are very tall and it's nice to be in their shadow. It is interesting that the typical patches of the plane tree bark inspired the design of military uniforms. Because of the flaking bark, the plane tree looks like it is covered in military camouflage.
@Jelena
Sometimes it's nice to walk alone, to clear your mind, to make a plan. A lot of constructive ideas and solutions a person comes up with when he is alone. I live in a city where the air is polluted but we still have a few places in the city where you can breathe fresh air. This forest is one of them.
@Jelena
It's time for snack. I know it’s healthier to eat fruit without icing but I love fruit with icing and I really enjoy the combination of flavors. In a bowl are apples, peaches, pears, blueberries and honey. Small pleasures make life happier.
@Jelena
Lost in hurry This is a story about one woman. This is a story about all of us. Every day we are hurry up. We are trying to complete all obligations that are chasing us. We try to do everything what we can imagine, even if there is not enough time. Then we force ourselves and do impossible things, because we have to. She was always in a hurry. Every day she hurried to get a bus, which would take her to her workplace. At the workplace, she hurried to finish her job on time so…

What do you think about saving money? My child likes to save money. He is only 4 years old but every day he has a new business idea for the future. 😊 He has 3 money boxes in which he saves money. I think that saving money is useful and good only if we have a goal and if we save in order to realize some of our wishes and ideas. If we save money without a goal then it could be obsessive and it's not good. There are many ways to save money. I will tell you the secret of my…

Since the pandemic has started, these people have a lot of work to do. Every day they deliver food all over the city. They are tireless, always kind and efficient. This post is my support to them.
@Jelena
When I was a child, I was afraid of grasshoppers. Once it happened that it entered my room while I was sleeping and I found it in my hair. 😊 I heard that they symbolize freedom and independence. Are you afraid of insects?
@Jelena
There is one town "Sremski Karlovci" where I feel really relaxed. When you walk, everything is quiet and you can enjoy pleasant sounds of bird singing, people's footsteps and music of street singer who sing and play guitar. Every street in this town has its own story. It is famous for its spirituality and culture.
@Jelena
Reading to children All of us know how important is reading a books to children, but often we don't have enough time for that activity. We live in time where everything is happening very fast and usually we are very tired, when we need to dedicate time to our children. If you find time for reading to your children, not only your children will be happy. You will be happy too. It is a great way to relax yourself. When you read to your children, you actually travel with them to…
@Jelena
Painting on flower pots is very creative work. You can paint what ever you want and each of your flower pots will have its own story. It will make your days more beautiful everytime you wake up and see them. I've already painted on a glass jars but I didn't try to paint on flower pots. I saw that idea on the street and I took a photo. I will try to do something like that.

This is my aunt's cat. Its name is Harry. Harry behaves like a man because it constantly spends time with her at home. Harry loves my aunt a lot and is jealous when someone wants to hug her.😊
@Jelena
Looking for happiness Happiness is the most positive feeling. Sometimes we are trying to find it, but it is right here, with us and inside us. We just need to understand and listen to ourselves better. All answers are usually inside us and we don't need a questions. We will find out everything what we need to know in order to be happy, if we just listen to ourselves and believe in ourselves. There are also people in our life, who really believe in us, who understand us and…

Do you believe this "housekeeper" plant is really guarding your house? I saw this one in a yard that has grown a lot and I took photo of it. The family that lives there should be very happy because it is protected by this plant. 😊But it is just symolic meaning. I really don't believe it is true. 😊
@Jelena
My child likes to play with toilet paper rolls. A lot of things can be made with them. He decided today to make a lion and a turtle. I didn’t realize at first it was a turtle but he told me that it is. 😊
@Jelena
Favourite cartoon of my child is "Paddington bear". It is very nice cartoon. The bear is funny and teaches kids to be kind and behave nicely. This cake I made for his last birthday. I also printed out pictures of Paddington's bear and pasted them on the wall above his bed. When he woke up he was very surprised and very happy. Do your kids like cartoons?
@Jelena
Magic flour When I prepare food for my family I always keep in mind that meals should be halthy and nutritious. I know that dough shouldn't be eaten often because it could make us fat, but if you choose the ingridients carefully and if you don't eat it in large quantities, you would not have a problem. When I want to make something for my own pleasure, I am doing experiments with flour. My family also likes pastries and my little son has an idea to open a bakery, because he…
@Jelena
I got this photo from my aunt. She went to one village in the south of my country and she saw these wild horses along the way, so she took a break to take photos of them. When I am looking at them, I see freedom and the power of nature. Do you have the same impression?
@Jelena
Do you like surprises? I was very surprised last year when I received this New Year's gift from the company I work for. Gifts were delivered to all employees at their home address. These are all natural products, very nice and delicious.

Waiting for a bus... How much time in your life do you spend waiting for a bus? I spend a lot of time. If you live in a big city, then you have to wait for the bus at least twice, when you go to work and when you come back...
@Jelena
Today I made pumpkin pie. It is filled with a mixture of eggs, sour cream and pumpkin. You can also add an apple if you want. It is a great choice for autumn days.
@Jelena
Life puzzle Sometimes it seems like life is made up of small pieces of a puzzle. If you lose one piece, you will never be able to put it together again. Sometimes we need a lot of time to assemble a puzzle. In fact, when it comes to life puzzle, we need a whole our life. Everything starts when you are a child. As a child, you don't think so much about your life, because someone else is doing that for you. That person "someone else" is usually your parent. Parents are the…
@Jelena
This is a strudel made by my aunt. She wanted to surprise me and it really wasn't an ordinary strudel. It is filled with vanilla cream and hazelnuts. I like her idea of drawing on pastries.
@Jelena
When I saw this, I immediately wanted to come in. Welcome can be wished in various ways and this is a very creative way. I didn't make a mistake when I came in. It was a great choice and now I have a great memory and one more idea for flower pots. 😊
@Jelena
Do you like to see yourself in the mirror? I have a habit of looking at myself in the mirror several times during the day. I like mirrors. The face talks a lot about how we feel and sometimes we are not even aware of it.
