About Prime Mon Ami

Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here. Prime Mon Ami is a lifestyle space for women navigating changing seasons with more steadiness, intention, and room to breathe. I’m Mariya, and this space reflects the parts of life I keep coming back to: self-care, home, family, food, travel, personal growth, and the small rituals that help everyday life feel more meaningful.

I started Prime Mon Ami during a season of life that feels both full and quietly shifting — raising a family, preparing for new transitions, caring for a home, noticing my own energy changing, and wanting a softer place to gather the ideas, routines, and reflections that help me feel grounded.

I’m a mom to Daniela and Jeremy, both navigating big transitions as they grow into their own independence. I’ve been married to my husband, Andre, long enough to know that partnership evolves just as much as we do. And our two dogs, Milo and Luka, are very much part of the rhythm of our days — usually nearby, usually curious, and always reminding us to slow down.

By profession, I work in IT. But Prime Mon Ami was born from something much more personal: a desire to create a space that reflects real life in midlife — not rushed, not performative, and not weighed down by all the things we think we “should” be doing.

Why This Space Exists

Prime Mon Ami is for women who are no longer in the frantic early years of building a life — but are absolutely not done growing, dreaming, or changing.

It’s for the seasons when:

• our kids need us differently
• our homes feel quieter — and sometimes louder in new ways
• our bodies ask for more care and attention
• our pace naturally begins to soften

I wanted a place that honors this stage without trying to fix it. A place for practical ideas, honest reflection, and small comforts that make everyday life feel more grounded.

Here, you’ll find writing about:

• gentle self-care and hormone-aware living
• creating calm at home, one small ritual at a time
• food that nourishes without overwhelming
• travel that feels meaningful rather than rushed
• family life through change and transition
• caring for pets as part of everyday well-being

This isn’t a blog about doing more. It’s about living well — intentionally, kindly, and with room to breathe.
