I'm Ela: Navigating Motherhood and Creativity Together

This blog is my creative refuge, where I explore my passions for home decor, DIY projects, and photography while documenting my journey into affiliate marketing.

"As I embrace the joys and challenges of motherhood, I find myself at a crossroads, unsure of what I truly want to pursue in life. This uncertainty led me to start this blog—a space where I can connect all my passions. From home decor and website building to Pinterest inspiration, DIY projects, and photography."

I’m the proud co-creator of Verka, a brand I started with my mom

We design playmats and toys made from sustainable materials. Although my mom has faced some challenges with her hand injury and can’t sew as much as she used to, we’re still pouring our hearts into our creations whenever we can.

Honestly, I often feel a bit lost, juggling all these interests and not being an expert in any one area. But I believe that’s part of the adventure! Motherhood has transformed me in so many ways, and while I cherish my role as a mom, I’m also determined to rediscover myself in this journey.

Fun Facts about me

I’ve played ice hockey for over 20 years, starting at 6. I’ve traveled the world with my team, represented my country at 10+ championships, and earned multiple awards.

I’m from Zagreb, Croatia, a beautiful and safe European city. I love my dog and appreciate nature, enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and gardening.
