Hi, I’m Janie

Mother of two. I’m Ukrainian-American and have spent my life between these two countries.

I love to be surrounded by nature, whether I’m reading a good book, drinking a cup of something caffeinated or going on outdoor adventures, some more wild than others.

Lately I’ve been learning how to balance solo parenting with full time work and daycare while trying to give my kids a nature-filled, play-centric childhood.

Hi, I’m Lydia

Wife and mother to two girls that are 19 months apart. As I adjust to life as a new mom, I’m learning to move on from my former lifestyle of traveling, reckless decision making, chasing storms, and frequenting local bars for countless games of pool.

My aim is to capture this period of my life while I focus on developing a strong set of skills to help me become the wife, mother, and homemaker I've always dreamed of being,
and at the same time, preserving my own sense of self.
