    Of Course, I Need Time || daily prompt

    Of course, I need time: not just for myself, but for everything and everyone I love. Being a housewife doesn’t mean I have all the time in the world. It means learning how to share it, balance it, and still find a little bit left for me.

    Celebration of Cultures 🌏 Through My Daughter’s Eyes

    There’s something so special about seeing your little one experience the world through school events. 🥰 During my daughter’s first United Nations Day, she represented Greece (thanks to a lucky Shopee find!) and spent the day exploring different cultures, colors and cuisines with her classmates. Watching her proudly twirl in her costume, paint a cacti…

  • Lately, my toddler’s been singing even when she doesn’t get the words right.  It reminded me.. maybe that’s how motherhood is too? we don’t always get it perfectly.. but in time, along the way.. we learn. 🤎

  • Pregnancy, Motherhood and The Village

    Pregnancy, Motherhood and The Village

    They say “it takes a village to raise a child.” What I’ve learned is that sometimes, that village isn’t something you already have.. it’s something you build. Slowly. Naturally. Through the people who make you feel seen, supported and understood.

    Keeping My Sanity: Rekindling Old Friendships with Mom Friends Who’ve Been There

    Motherhood can be beautiful and could also be mentally exhausting. Some days, I feel like I’m just running on caffeine and willpower. But lately, something has helped me stay a little more grounded: rekindling friendships with old classmates and friends who are now moms, too. The best part? They’ve been on my shoes! 🙌🏽 Their…

    Small Steps, Sweet Words: Trilingual Journey With My Child

    When we decided to enroll our toddler last March 2025 for the last quarter of the school year, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. She was only 21 months back then and it’s overwhelming to think that I will leave her with other people. It was only about three months—just enough to let her…

  • Returning to Katleya Notes

    Pause, losses and new beginnings. It feels strange, sitting down to write again after so many months of obvious silence. But maybe that’s what makes this post necessary.. the pause, the grief, the chaos of life and now the attempt to pick up the words again.. ⌨️ I know, I posted a week ago but,…

  • Grateful for the Ones Who Didn’t Stay

    Not everyone is meant to stay forever. Some friends are seasonal — here for a chapter, not the whole book. And that’s okay. 🌼 Instead of holding on to the pain of their absence, I choose to be grateful for the moments we shared. They may no longer be in my life, but their impact…

    She has always been my definition of resilience—quiet, unwavering, and honest in every season of life.

    What Gives You Direction In Life? || daily prompt

    There are moments in life that redefine us, changing our path and reshaping our sense of purpose. In my case, the shift happened when I started my own family. What once was about personal goals and aspirations has transformed into a focus on nurturing and supporting my little family—my baby, my husband, and our shared…
