How did our past week go…? – The Newborn edition –
Dear Reader, who has been following our story here in this little virtual nook for almost a decade now!
Allow me to introduce the youngest member of the S&Rú diaries and the newest addition to our wolfpack: Wolfie!
We’ve already been home for a week, spending our days in peace and a little bit up in the clouds, getting to know our new family model, getting used to the new sounds and needs, the changing dynamics and the extra layer of bonding that now fills our home. I’d almost forgotten what life with a newborn is like – the milky‑scented little head, the tiny hands, and that gaze that looks straight into your soul. And with two strong, determined boys in the house who are ready at any moment to take over cuddling, rocking and nappy‑changing whenever I need a few minutes, I truly have no reason to complain.
Even though our hospital stay unfortunately turned out longer than we had planned, by now we have nothing else to do but eat, sleep and love each other. 🙂
A million kisses,
S & Rú
& Laci
& Wolfie
Our first days at home
Our first coffee out in the open in Tulln, then at home in Klosterneuburg:
And our first little mum‑and‑Ruben outing for a treat while dad stayed home with the baby (the day after coming home from the hospital, still a bit wiped out):
And one of the good things about breastfeeding: the wonderful food:

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. Later, I took on a new role at the Department of Health within the Ministry of Interior, continuing my journey in the healthcare field from a different perspective. Life has also grown in beautiful new ways: a wonderful partner has brought fresh energy and warmth into what was once just me and Rú—now we’re a family of three. 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!
