In Times of Less Words, More Could be Achieved

-

 I have not found the power to post in a while, in view of recent world events and the situation in Ukraine. The way all world seems to be connected and fight for good overwhelmed me, the difficult times of Ukranian people made me less willing to talk. I am sure no one noticed the lack of posting in here and that is not really the point of this article. The point is that sometimes we can choose to be silent and still achieve things, help the ones in need. Be it a donation, volunteering your free time and so on. I have posted a few links on the FB page ExpatMom, with helpful information in these times, we choose to donate what is possible for us. Anyone can help in this situation.

I spent most of the last days with our family and at the small garden, praying and helping in the way we could with the war situation. Czech Republic welcomed more than 200,000 refugees and that is something  indeed. A lot of suffering people need help and support right now. 

What else can I write or say, will probably not help or change the tensions or make it easier for anyone.

No amount of anxiety or worry about the future could ever change what is meant to happen.

Stay safe and offer unconditional love to the world. 

In case love is not possible, offer your attention to those who need and appreciate it. 

Attention is also a precious gift (if not the most) in the busy times we live, times of noise, war and extreme weather changes.

How to Put Back On the IKEA Mattress Cover

So, you washed your IKEA cover mattress despite the clear instruction on the label to not do it. Well, I did it because...I have a toddler and had to try and save it. I also washed the cover in a 3h program on 50 degrees Celsius. it did not shrink but I had a very hard time putting it back on. I would do it just once in a mattress' lifetime and only if necessary. If you are in the same situation, do not give up and run to IKEA for a new mattress...If I could put mine back so can you. Here a few tips: - turn the cover inside out and start pulling it on the mattress from one part slowly - grab small parts of the cover so it slides onto itself, allowing thus a smoother pulling on the mattress surface - pull each side at a time, with patience All operation took me about 8 minutes, here I share a video showing my struggle, you might find that helpful: Putting Back On the IKEA Cover Mattress

List of English Speaking Doctors in Brno

-
I have put together a list of English speaking doctors for Brno area, in hopes it might help expats to find the help they need easily. Most of the doctor professionals bellow are recommended from own experience, for few specialties I had to gather the links from other friends' or expats' recommendations, as some do not accept anymore new patients (like for ex.: my gynecologist, dentist). Urology: Surgal Clinic  -  MUDr. Jan Králík . Private clinic but, as most in this country, it helps and accepts also public insured citizens. Appointments go smooth and you must call or email before just to be sure your specialist doctor is available Bohunice Pavilion X also has Urology Ambulance  (link here) and all doctors there speak English, but is harder to get appointments because the nurses handle the calls, but the medical care is excellent; private Urologic Clinic  -  must pay out of pocket, not for public insured people MUDr Pavel Trojan Endocrinology: MUDr. Karel Starý
