Blogger/Mom

I was born and raised in Russia, half of my family being Ukrainian. My sister and I grew up with an abusive father and an emotionally absent mother. At 18, I moved away from my family and at the age of 20, I left my country. Since then, I have been living in Hungary, mainly volunteering at local orphanages until I got married and had a baby. Now my husband and I continue visiting orphan kids regularly along with working and growing our family! In 2021 I started a food blog that is dedicated to gluten-free recipes and it has been growing for the last 1.5 years. It has been a struggle for me to not feel guilty for pursuing my dream of blogging while also having a one-year-old in my care! However, I find that having a business helps my mental health and thus positively affects my ability to care for my baby. Having said that, I also must add that sometimes it is hard to not overwork and spend a lot of needed quality time with my family!
