_zagrebelnaya_ No one talks about this part of owning a home…

You don’t just get a backyard… you get a whole new personality 🙃

I used to think grass is just grass. Now I’m learning about sun vs shade and why some spots need something different.

I found Pennington Smart Patch Dense Shade online at @HomeDepot and it made this whole process feel a lot less intimidating. They also have a grass seed quiz that actually helps you figure out what your yard needs (because apparently… it’s not all the same 😅)

If you’re also in your “figuring it out” era… you’ll understand 😊👩‍🌾🌱

_zagrebelnaya_ #AD The older Benjamin gets, the harder the questions become.

Lately we’ve been talking about space, dreams, life, death… basically all the things I definitely don’t have perfect answers to 😅

It’s been really fun watching him explore those conversations with BubblePal from

@haivivi_official and seeing one of his favorite stuffed animals become something he can actually interact with.

_zagrebelnaya_ #ad Nobody talks about this part of getting older.

A few years ago, my ideal night looked very different. Now it’s picking tomatoes from our garden, making homemade pizza sauce, grilling pizza in the backyard, and opening a bottle of J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tonight we used J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon in our pizza sauce and paired it with the finished meal. There’s something special about slowing down, cooking with ingredients you’ve grown yourself, and sharing a simple summer evening with the person you love.

Funny how the things that once sounded ordinary somehow become the things you treasure most. ❤️🍅🍷

What’s something your younger self would be surprised you enjoy now?

_zagrebelnaya_ #ad The backyard era has been everything I dreamed of… except the seasonal allergies part 😭🌼 Ever since we moved, I’ve been spending so much more time outdoors gardening, relaxing, and soaking in slow mornings outside, so having little spring essentials nearby has become a must for me. @zicam has officially earned a permanent spot in my bag this allergy season 🤍

Anyone else turn into a completely different person the second pollen season starts?

_zagrebelnaya_ [AD] One thing I refuse to do as a mom is raise a son who thinks women are supposed to take care of everyone else and never themselves. 🤍

So lately, Ben and I have started doing little self-care nights.☺️He brings me tea, snacks, turns on my @skghealth Neck Massager and Waist Massager, and reminds me to slow down for once. 😅

Honestly, my favorite part isn’t the massage. It’s watching him learn that moms deserve care too.

What’s something you’ve learned later in life that you wish you knew sooner? ✨

_zagrebelnaya_ 💕Starting Over in My 30s 💕

Being strong got me through a lot of hard seasons. But eventually, it became the reason I stayed in survival mode for too long.

I’m learning that not every problem needs more strength. Sometimes it needs rest🙈 #redesigningmylife #slowliving #burnout #corporate

_zagrebelnaya_ #AD I used to feel like my house was constantly one mess away from falling apart 😅 But lately I’ve been realizing how much easier life feels when your home can almost take care of itself. @Narwalrobot Freo Z10 has genuinely made keeping our floors clean feel effortless, especially in a busy house with everyday chaos.

What’s one household task you wish you could completely outsource?

_zagrebelnaya_ 💕 Immigrant Diaries #1 💕

The hardest part about moving to the US wasn’t learning English. Eleven years ago, I moved here from Ukraine with about $2k and a lot more confidence than common sense. 🙈Everyone assumes the hardest part was figuring out the language, but honestly, Google Translate can only solve so many problems. 😅 The hardest part was walking into a room and knowing exactly who I was... but having no way to show it. I had opinions, jokes, dreams, stories, a law degree, and a whole personality. But when people spoke to me, all I could do was smile and hope I understood enough to respond. Looking back, learning English didn’t change my life. It gave me my voice back. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Have you ever gone through a season of life where you felt like nobody could really see the real you? #immigrant
