About Us

We believe life should be enjoyed every chance you get. Finding contentment and joy in everyday simple pleasures and purpose in what appears mundane is what we aspire to and hope to inspire you to do the same!

Why wait, right? We’re here for this one lifetime, so we might as well experience all the beauty it has to offer – take that trip, get out and hike a new trail, try out a new recipe, get a massage, buy that dress and go out with your people, watch a movie with your crew and laugh your heart out.

We’re full time parents, and part time travelers with a passion for family adventures, coffee shops, curated trip itineraries, new experiences and always on a hunt for things that make our day to day easier or more enjoyable (stay tuned for gift guides and lifestyle round-ups of our favorite discoveries)!

We’re hosting, decor loving homebodies with a travel bug. We started a quest to see all 50 states with our son, without realizing it at first! We took some road-trips close to home, then our radius expanded, and before we knew it, we had driven up and down the East coast and over 15 states in, now we’re on a slow journey towards all 50! Over time we developed an active, see and experience as much as possible approach, one we try to slow down once in a while, for contrast, but a flow full of sights, local flavor, and memory snapshots. We like a “balance” of rest and culture, lounging and moving, combination of decadence and reasonable accommodations, all of which we love sharing with you!

Strongly foodie influenced, though we lean towards simple, family friendly, healthy-ish, mindful day to day diet, when exploring, we love sampling most interesting flavors a place has to offer, while attempting to balance indulgence with reason… still working out the kinks on that one!

When we aren’t curating experiences, traveling (which is not as often as we’d like), or sampling and recommending the best NYC (and the Tri-State) has to offer, we are the hosts! We love family time and entertaining in our Brooklyn apartment (hopefully back yard, someday), trying out new recipes, healthy and decadent, depending on the mood, coming up with a perfect gift, planning new getaways and giving recommendations of all our favorites, because, for us, the best part is sharing the excitement of a new find.

And when we aren’t hosting, and Konstantin isn’t down the rabbit hole building new travel itineraries, we love reading as a family, educating our kid, and cozy movie nights, with snacks! A fun fact, we were competitive ballroom dancers (in another lifetime), that’s how we met!

We started this blog because when we like something, we LOVE sharing it even more! Breathe Eat Create is what we believe a full life can’t be without – nourishing food, moments that sustain and fill us with air, and the creative drive that inspires us to keep going. This blog is an in-progress, messy, busy family life, full of less than glamorous moments, but lots of life, honesty and a ton of exploration. Here, in this space, you will find a little bit of everything that excites and matters to us from busy weeknight recipes, occasional home decor inspiration, travel guides (itineraries Konstantin creates are too good not to share), and all the rest of that jazz. We embrace the now moments, because they only come around once.

Our philosophies, while always in progress, come down to moderation, mindfulness, and awareness, returning to intentionality and grounding in the “Why”. Thank you for being here, we hope you will find something useful and enjoyable.

Here’s to many more adventures!
