Easter 2021 – Preparations

Well, I know this isn’t really the kind of year when I can gather the whole family for a big Easter lunch (which traditional holidays usually provide a perfect excuse for), but with a little boy by my side, it’s impossible to stay completely indifferent. Although Ru has already outgrown the little-kid Easter phase (I still haven’t fully come to terms with these changes, but I’m trying hard), a family still needs to pay attention to events that color everyday life. And well, work is work, and childhood is childhood, so no matter what, the conditions for these occasions have to be created.

So for setting the mood (between two emails), I thought nothing could be more fitting than a carrot cake and a basket of chocolates, which of course also belong to the Easter egg hunt!

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
