Hi there!

I’m Svenja, aka “Mama Mjanja”, mom to a wonderfully wild toddler, living in northern Tanzania together with my family.

You’ll probably find a little bit of DIY in each of my posts, cause I just love figuring out simple solutions with what I have on hand and the great effects that small tweaks to my home can have on my overall happiness.

I'm so happy you are here!

Enjoy browsing through the topics I’m passionate about. If you’re anything like me, you’ll find a lot of relatable ideas on how to get less busy, more crafty and create more meaningful time for and with your family.
