Peppers are very nutritious and healthy. They can protect us against many chronic diseases. They are an excellent source of vitamins, especially vitamin C. I like them in salad the most, but I also like roasted peppers with cheese, fried peppers with eggs, stuffed peppers with meat and rice ... And what about you? Do you like them and how you like them the most?

"Jenga" I was at a toy store with my son when he chose this toy. At first it seemed to me that it wouldn't be so interesting toy for him, but he insisted to buy it. Now I understand why. The game is great. It's called "Jenga". It is a block-balancing game. You should slide out blocks one by one, and place them on top of the stack, but you shouldn't let the tower fall. There are many benefits to playing Jenga, which include improving manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination,…
More than just a movie A few weeks ago, I watched one movie at the cinema and that is currently the most popular movie in my country. Remember this fact "at the cinema", because it is important. That movie is called „Toma“, directed by Dragan Bjelogrlic. It is about one man who was a very popular singer in my country due to 1970s and 1980s years. He is not only remembered for his songs, but also as a bohemian in his behavior and his soul. Ha had a specific and unique way for…
When my son woke up this morning he said that he wants to eat sandwiches for breakfast. I decided to make not just ordinary sandwiches and he helped me. He was drawing with ketchup and had a great fun. If you want to make this sandwiches you will need bread, milk, ham, ketchup, gouda cheese, a mixture of eggs and sour cream and oregano. Then you have to bake them for 10 minutes and that's it. What are you preparing for breakfast today?
Your unique face It is truly fascinating how among so many people around the world, each has their own face that is different from the others. That is the first thing that we should have on our mind, if we come to situation where we compare ourselves with other people. Comparing is pointless because we are all different and unique. That is a very important reason for respecting yourself. **Do you like your face?** You shoud like your face because... Your face never lies.…
Currently the most popular movie in my country is "Toma". It has a great emotional impact and whole my country is crying because of that movie. 😊 My favourite quote from that movie is "it doesn't matter how long life lasts, but it is important how much life we put into each of our days“. I wrote an article about that movie on read cash. Here is a link if you want to read it. https://read.cash/@Jelena/more-than-just-a-movie-ec701046 photo: https://sr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki
Radishes... Do you like them? I like them very much. Great, refreshing salad at the end of the day. Radishes can help us against viruses. They are very powerful.
Special needs children What is your first thought when you hear for "special needs"? It certainly is something special and something that needs our attention. We are all different and respecting differences between children and people is crucial for one society. Special needs refers to some specific difficulties and disabilities that could be mental, physical, psyhological and medical. We can see children with special needs everywhere around us, but sometimes we don't…
Have you ever planted with your child? My son was very happy when he planted this bean. We put a few seeds in a pot and it grew very fast. He likes to take care of it and notices changes every morning when he wake up. That makes him very happy.
Do you like my cakes? I made them for one special occasion. I like sweets very much but they shouldn’t be eaten a lot. I am always trying to put less sugar and more fruits. What is your favourite cake?
Imaginative cakes To be imaginative... Sometimes it's not so easy, especially when you get home from work, tired and exhausted. Only thing that you imagine at that moment is going to sleep and having a nice dreams. But then you see eyes and smiles of your little son, who can’t wait to wake up tomorrow to celebrate his birthday and you suddenly gain strength and become very imaginative. In November last year, my son motivated me to think about the most imaginative cake I…
I just saw a ladybug on my leg. People say that it brings good luck. I hope I will be lucky today. 😊
Hand in hand There is something more than having a good job, normal salary, nice apartment, car, enough money for food, clothes and travelling. There is something more than having a child. That "more" refers to having a two or more children. Few years ago I was pretty sure that I don't want one more child. I was satisfied with my four-year-old son. We were spending great time together and we became very connected. I really thought that there is nothing bad about it to have…
It would be nice if this bus actually drove to Paris, Rome or Istanbul as it is shown in the picture, but unfortunately, it takes me to the place where I live.😊 Anyway, it's nice to imagine and think about travelling. If we don't dream, dreams will not come true.
Today I made my family happy with this wonderful Christmas cake. It is not yet Christmas time but it doesn't matter. 😊 This pastry is filled with hazelnuts and jam. It has very interesting shape and it is easy to make.
Soulmate Everyone has own way. On that way, we meet different people, get in love, find a husband or wife, form friendships. Sometimes we form friendships with people who later disappoint us. We get married and then get divorced. We get in love and when we get to know a person we are in love with better, we are not in love anymore. We meet different people who become our neighbors, colleagues and sometimes we feel that we don't need them and that we would feel better if we…
This is the hotel "Moskva". It is more than just a hotel. Moskva is the symbol of Belgrade. It has been a monument of Serbian culture since 1946 and it is opened in 1908. People say that it is the most welcoming hotel in my country. If you visit Serbia this hotel will be an excellent choice because it is located in city center.
This is the chocolate of my childhood. It is a small, thin and very tasty chocolate bar. When you open it, there is a picture of some animal inside. When I was a child, we pasted those pictures into an album and when I filled out the whole album I got a great package of chocolates as a gift from the factory that makes those chocolates. I was very happy.😊
Belgrade's charming street. I love Belgrade in the evening. You can walk for hours and you will not be bored. Do you like walking in the evening?
Oh that ragweed Ragweed or ambrosia is a type of weed. It is the only thing that I know about that plant and I don't need to know more, because it is enough for me that I feel it. I have problems with ragweed allergy and every summer I have a new mission... how to avoid its effects. Sometimes it is really difficult. **What does it make ragweed annoying?** Ragweed is annoying because it irritates nose and causes sneezing, coughing and itchy eyes. I have reaction to its…

Rainy day Rain will be your best friend when you want to clear your mind.

You will have a choice, to open your umbrella and hide. You will be protected. You can also let the rain wash your…

Do you like to receive flower bouquets and do you like to give flower bouquets? I got this one from a friend. It was a pleasant surprise.
Haircut changes life I got a haircut today. People say when you have a haircut that you actually feel that something changed in your life and you start to feel different and more satisfied. Haircut certainly changes the way we look. I can not say that I feel some big change but I can notice that there are some changes in my mood... For example, I am laughing more since I have finished haircut. I am not so tired. I am very efficient and I feel like I got some positive energy.…
What do you think about my new hairstyle? 😊 Changing your hairstyle can sometimes change your life. For the first time I have a "bob cut" hairstyle. Since I changed my hairstyle I feel like I’ve gained some positive energy. I wrote an article about it on read cash.

Week of surprises Few days ago, my son celebrated his 5th birthday. I wanted to do something special for him so I made up a week of surprises. I had idea for every day how to make that day special and he really enjoyed. My goal was to make him happy and to see as many smiles on his face as possible and I think I did it a great job. First day, we were at the theater for children. We watched theatre play which is called "Giant cake". The play was so interesting that the…

Fear of giving birth If you ask me when I was the most scared in my life, my answer will definitely be when I had to give a birth. I am a mother of two children, so I was pregnant two times. I couldn't ever imagine the moment when I would give a birth. It was very difficult for me to live with that fear and annoying thoughts, every day, every moment. I had many sleepless nights, a lot of questions in my mind and I had impression that I will be the only woman in this world…

Where is the money? Where is the money? I often hear that question. I usually hear it from myself, but sometimes I hear it from my husband too. I actually don't like to hear that question because I never knew where my money was. I spend money very fast, but I never buy unnecessary things. I usually spend money for groceries because when it comes to spending money the priority is to feed the family. There is no life without food. I am happy when I can make someone happy so I…

Utopia Sometimes we need to imagine our perfect life if we want to get closer to something that could be almost perfect. I say "almost perfect" because "perfect" is relative term. Perfect life for me doesn't have to be perfect life for you. I remember from my studies that Thomas Moore defined utopia as a place that does not exist. But sometimes I think about whether utopia exists or not. In my opinion, utopia is possible and I am closer to the idea that utopia exists. It…
Volim ovu kinesku poslovicu. Nije loša za početak dana.😊 I love this Chinese proverb. "You don't have to work like a horse for your children and grandchildren, because they will anyway get their piece of luck."
Paradižot ili šnenokle sa keksom, jedna od mojih omiljenih poslastica. Podseca me na detinjstvo. Da li volite ovu poslasticu? Delicious sweet dessert with milk, eggs, cookies and cocoa. When you don't have many ingredients, this dessert could be a good idea. This dessert reminds me of childhood. In English, this dessert is called "floating islands".
Wild horses in the south of Serbia I had never seen wild horses until that day. That was a few years ago when I went to one small village in the south of Serbia to visit a relative. The road was long but we were surrounded by beautiful nature all the way so it was really nice to enjoy that view. I had never seen that landscape before. Actually, I was there few times before that journey, but I don't remember how it was, because I was a child. We were traveling and then…
My 5 year old son drew instructions for me - what to do during the day when I get up and he pasted it on the wall next to my bed. He illustrated all the daily activities, feeding the baby, preparing lunch and even going to the toilet. 😀 I was laughing a lot when I saw that.
Daily instructions I received one unique and creative present from my five years old son. He drew all activities, that I should do during the day, every day. He insists that I follow all the daily instructions that he drew and he doesn't allow me to do anything else except those activities. I feel like I am prisoner, but I must say that it is funny. 😊 He pasted his drawing on the wall next to my bed, so I could see what I should do everytime when I wake up. Here it is... I…
