Mindful Memories: A Journey of Reflection for Expat Moms

-

Dear fellow moms/moms to be living in a foreign country,

I'm thrilled to introduce you to "Mindful Memories: A Journal for Expat Moms," a heartfelt companion crafted with love for our unique journey of self-discovery and cultural immersion. This journal is not just a book of blank pages; it's a treasured keepsake designed to capture the essence of our expat experiences, embrace our growth, and celebrate the beautiful moments that shape our lives abroad.

As we embark on this captivating voyage, "Mindful Memories" warmly welcomes you to express your thoughts, aspirations, and even the occasional uncertainty that comes with living in a foreign land. Within its inviting pages, we find solace and joy in documenting our personal growth and transformation throughout this incredible adventure.


One of the most powerful aspects of our expat journey is mindfulness and appreciation. In "Mindful Memories," you'll discover dedicated sections that gently guide us to practice gratitude, stay present, and find beauty in every little detail. Embracing mindfulness has helped me stay grounded amidst the excitement and occasional challenges of expat life.

Each page of this journal holds a little piece of my heart—lovingly hand-drawn illustrations that infuse a personal touch to our reflections. I hope these illustrations bring a smile to your face and remind you of the unique moments that define our expat experience. I had great help form our son who is now assisting me in all illustrations, making decisions and he also chose the cover for this journal from the 3 options we had. The watercolours on the cover are home made by me and son, so please have a look inside at the videos before deciding to buy (it is a print on demand book).








As we create memories that last a lifetime, "Mindful Memories" offers dedicated photo sections for family adventures, cultural encounters, and new friendships. These pages double as a photo album, allowing us to visually relive the laughter, joy, and togetherness that fill our hearts.


Writing has become my therapeutic outlet—an emotional anchor in this ever-changing journey. The journal's ample space provides the perfect canvas to pour out my thoughts, feelings, and hopes. It's like talking to a dear friend who listens without judgment and offers comfort in uncertain times.


As an expat mom, my heart yearns to preserve the precious moments that weave into the fabric of our expat life. With "Mindful Memories," I have found a timeless keepsake that captures the essence of our journey. I know that years from now, flipping through its pages will transport me back to the moments that have shaped us as a family.


Please know that "Mindful Memories" is a passion project, and each illustration is lovingly hand-drawn by me. I invite you to watch a sneak peek of the journal on our social media—a glimpse of the heart and soul that went into creating it.


Whether you're a seasoned expat or a first-time adventurer, I hope "Mindful Memories" becomes your cherished companion—a place to celebrate your uniqueness, document your expat experience, and cultivate gratitude in every step of this beautiful journey.

Let's embark on this journey of reflection and create mindful memories together. "Mindful Memories: A Journal for Expat Moms" is waiting to be a part of your story.


I did not write at all here on the blog about my published journals so far, but I think now is a good start because this place is where my inspiration started a few years ago. Until next time, all the best

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
