MOTHER(HOOD) | YULIA LOVES BROOKLYN

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to raise your family in another part of the world?  In our Love Where You Live  series we get a glimpse into the day to day lives of mamas from all over the world. Where they get coffee, have play dates, date night, shop… It’s kind of like a travel guide for mamas. But more than that, it shows that even though we live in different climates and cultures, we can connect through the universal language of motherhood. xx

FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR IN BROOKLYN IS... the beginning of summer when we have famous Bushwick open studios, pig-roasts in the backyards, and notorious sunset rooftop parties like All day I dream
