Mother's Day - SHOWTIME!! - daysonpaper.com

About Us

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!

And finally, it was here, blessed with sunshine, new sandals, and a delightful outing!

Lately, I’ve chosen to commemorate holidays not with presents, but with memorable experiences. Thus, our Mother’s Day surprise for Grandma materialized as a trip to the Vác flea market, a leisurely walk along the Danube, and a satisfying lunch. On every similar occasion, I always try to ensure Rú is included in the good times (I’m certainly happier with a contented four-year-old than a grumpy one!), and Vác’s main square turned out to be the ideal spot. We discovered a toy bazaar, a magician, a fountain, child dancers (little girls in glittering costumes! 😉), and a band playing children’s tunes that had all the kids in the square grooving! We even stumbled upon Spider-Man tattoos, a scooter rental, a special greeting for great-grandma, and a mother-daughter eating spree – though, truthfully, we don’t really need a special occasion for that!

Here’s to our day, mothers, celebrated fittingly with a comprehensive photo album!
