Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Nadja, a new mom to our little girl, Hannah, wife to my amazing husband, and someone who’s been navigating the beautiful chaos of homemaking. I’m all about embracing the simple, wholesome moments in life, especially as I step into this new chapter of motherhood.

My husband and I got married in 2020, in the most magical little church tucked away in the Swiss mountains, not far from where I grew up. There’s something about that place—so peaceful and full of beauty—and I truly believe it set the tone for the way we want to live our lives: close to nature and with a lot of simplicity. So, as newlyweds, we made the big move to the Netherlands and settled into a home that’s far from ordinary—a working windmill! Yes, you heard that right, we live in a windmill! It still does its job, keeping the land below sea level dry. How cool is that?

Then in January 2024, our world changed forever with the arrival of our sweet girl, Hannah. She is an absolute joy—so curious and full of energy, always soaking in the world around her like a little sponge. Being her mom is a gift I can’t quite put into words.

One of my favorite things to do (when I get a spare minute!) is tending to our garden and hanging out with our chickens. There’s something about being outside, getting your hands dirty, and then being rewarded with fresh veggies and eggs that just feels right. It’s all part of the rhythm I’m learning as I try to make our home a warm, welcoming place.

Honestly, I won’t sugarcoat it—motherhood and homemaking can be overwhelming. Some days I feel like I’m just trying to keep my head above water. But I truly believe we’re called to live lives of intention, of simplicity, and of grounding our families in what really matters. I want to embrace every little moment and lesson, even if it’s not always perfect.

This blog is my way of sharing that journey with you. I’ll be talking about everything I’m learning as a new mom and homemaker. My hope is that you’ll find some encouragement, maybe a laugh, and definitely a sense of community as we all figure out how to do this whole thing called motherhood—together.

So grab a cup of tea (or coffee, or whatever your favorite drink is) and join me on this journey as I share the highs, lows, and all the wonderful moments in between of making a home, raising a baby, and embracing the beautiful chaos of it all!

Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad we’re in this together!
