About

My name is Otilia and the name of the blog started because of my romanian provenience. I am 37 years old and have a license in Law. I married a yorkshire man called Adrian in 2006 and a couple of years later our daughters where born – Miss K born in 2009 and Miss A in 2012.

I started blogging in 2010 and since then I made lots of friends and change my career forever. Now besides being a blogger, I am also offering my services as a Social Media Manager for companies.

My life is nevertheless exciting and although I am working from home my career has developed so much since I started. I learn new things every day and although I am reaching 40s I am glad to say that I can keep up with the younger generation.

Combining family life and career is possible if you do what you love.

How to photograph children

Miss K – Born in 2009 she is now in school and bilingual – romanian & english but her 1st language is english. As you can imagine she loves ballet, cartoons, princesses and all the other dolls but she truly enjoys doing puzzles. Although she is only 5 and a half at the moment she can manage 7 + puzzles without problems. She is also reviewing and taking part in most of my recipes for kids and she has her own Youtube channel called BoogTV

Miss A – Born in 2012, I still see her as my baby. She is a lot messier and naughtier than Miss K use to be at her age. She loves balloons, singing and dancing and her older sister.
