1.Tell me about your family, who is the boss in the house?

I'm not sure that there should be a main person in the family. I immediately have a question: what matters is he in charge of?) For me, the most important thing is respect and understanding. And the question is not who provides for the family and who cooks dinner, who doesn’t let you sleep at night and who chooses a new country for travel, who decides about the color of the walls and pastime on the weekend. We are still learning to live in such a composition, and it is important for me to respect the opinions and interests of both my spouse and the smallest people in our family.

2.Why do you think your blog on Instagram is so popular?

It’s difficult for me to answer for sure, because I don’t teach any courses or seminars on saving humanity, I don’t participate in marathons on how to get rich) My Instagram is just a piece of my life, the life of my children and the whole family. With travel, with problems, with victories, with reflections and thoughts. Sometimes they write to me that my Instagram helped someone decide to have a new baby in the family, cope with some difficulty and overcome some fear. I don’t know how true this is, but if there is even a drop of truth in these words, this is the best feedback from my readers.

3. What questions do your blog readers most often ask?

About the clothes on me and the children, about vacation spots, about countries and cities, about food, books, about education. There are a lot of questions, simple and not so simple. But more often from the simplest mothers, just like me, so I always keep in touch. This is important for me, as well as for them.

On Nastya: Quis Quis dress, headband and bag, Dolce&Gabbana coat.

4. Describe a typical schedule with children?

Our days are divided into training days and rest days. Training days are most often on the road and in classes. Nastya does ballet and gymnastics, Fedya does drawing, and recently decided to play football. On our free days, we walk a lot, meet with friends, go to children's cafes and playrooms, or sometimes just spend time at home.

5.Best places to relax with children?

It depends on what exactly we are talking about. Is it a cafe or country houses? Or maybe countries and hotels. I have a lot of experience in all this and I try to always leave voluminous and objective reviews about it.

6.Favorite clothing brands?

The category of clothing also matters here. Because we really love Next for underwear and pajamas, jeans, especially for petite Nastya, are only suitable from H&M, T-shirts and shirts from Zara, sweaters and turtlenecks from Next and Gap. This applies to the regular mass market.

7.What do you recommend from children's cosmetics? I love Kiehls and Mustela for bath products.
8. If you could write a letter to your children now, knowing that they would read it in 40 years, what would you write to them?

That at three Fedya kisses me, and Nastya confesses her love to me more often than her husband :)), but not because he does it rarely, but because they are like that, they pamper me :), but seriously, I will write that they are the most the best, and that I am most grateful in the world that they chose us as their parents.

9.What is the most important thing in communicating with children?

Remain an adult and be at the level of a child. Near.

Nika, how long have you been on Instagram?

Since my first pregnancy, that is, already 4 years. At the beginning, I simply shared my photos with friends, posted a lot of things that surrounded both me and the baby. Later, when there were quite a lot of subscribers, I began to be more selective and even responsible in choosing pictures.

Anya, did your profile appear with the birth of your children? Did you immediately decide that it would be about them?

I remember when Nastya was 8 months old, one of my friends asked how to find me on Instagram. It was the first time I heard this word, but after a couple of weeks I already registered there (laughs). A month later I made new friends, and by the way, we still communicate with many of them. These are mothers from different cities, and we dream that someday we will definitely meet together for a cup of tea.

I can’t say that my Instagram is dedicated exclusively to children. It's about pieces of my life, about love, about motherhood, about travel and our daily pastime.

I don’t create anything, I don’t sew, I don’t sell, I don’t sing or dance, although sometimes I would really like to (laughs). In general, for now I don’t have any hobbies or activities that I could promote on Instagram as professional. But soon my friends will create a large charitable foundation, where I will act as a trustee. This means a lot to me - such an exciting and responsible position.

On Anya: Ma YA dress, on Nastya: David Charles dress, on Fedora: Simonetta Mini set.

Nika, is maintaining Instagram a hobby or a job for you? Instagram for me is everything at once (laughs). Here I find sources of inspiration, my work is also connected with it, and sometimes, when I want to relax, forget about daily worries, I come here just to look at photos and funny videos of friends and smile.

Are you not superstitious, are you not afraid that your whole life is being observed and discussed by strangers?

Nika: No, I'm not superstitious at all. I generally try not to think about the bad, I focus only on the good and believe that this is how it is attracted. In the end, strangers on the street may also look at us differently.

Anya: I have a lot of thoughts about this. But I am absolutely sure that, first of all, everything depends on our attitude and perception. And, of course, I sincerely believe that we are surrounded by good people.

Do you have any favorite profiles?

Anya: I have a very different feed: with people of different ages, nationalities, religions, different professions and tastes. That's what makes her interesting.

Nika, what is the most common question your readers ask you?

About the husband’s nationality (laughs), the age of the children, and how we raise them to be so friendly.

Will you answer?

My husband is Tuvan. I have never been to Tuva yet, but I hope I will be able to do so.

The children are one year and nine months apart: Daniel turned three years old in September, and Emily is now one and a half years old.

As for the relationship between the children, there are no secrets: we just love them equally, and nothing has changed for Daniel with the advent of Emily. Since Em’s birth, we did everything together, Dani helped, and dad played with him as much as possible while I was with the baby, so there was no jealousy from Dani.

He immediately liked taking care of his sister, now they play a lot together, they already have their own jokes and even little secrets (laughs). Of course, it happens that children may not share a toy or argue over a cartoon, but usually they quickly give in to each other, or we connect and resolve the situation peacefully and without tears.

But the main thing is, of course, our own example. Children should learn everything by watching their parents.

Anya, your profile is full of photos from different parts of the planet. Do you already have plans for your next trip?

Of course there is a plan! And we will implement it very soon. But for now I will leave it a secret, because everything can still change more than once.

Nika, where and how are you going to celebrate the New Year?

At home, with family. I love a cozy, homely atmosphere, when many close and dear people gather nearby. We try to meet together more often, play various fun games. Such moments are the most valuable for me.

What 3 wishes will you ask Santa Claus to fulfill this year?

Anya: We just recently moved to a new apartment, this is a long-awaited step in our family life, so now my main desire is to arrange our new house as quickly as possible.

We also want to get a dog. Fedor loves all the dogs in the park so much that we are seriously thinking about it. Well, I would really like to visit Iceland next year. In fact, I still have many, many different small and big desires. There are very large-scale ones related to major projects and the future of children, but I’ll probably keep this in my thoughts until New Year’s Eve.

Nika: I have a lot of plans and goals set for myself for next year, so I wish myself a couple more hours in the day! And of course, so that everything I have planned will work out and bear fruit! The second wish, of course, is that my children are always happy and make me happy. And I will do everything possible for this! Well, I want to dedicate my third wish to my beloved husband. I wish him patience, because it can be difficult with me (laughs). We are very different, but every year I love him even more than before. And may this connection of ours become stronger and stronger every year, no matter what!
