It’s a refreshing change of scenery for me to lounge around my house all day. With a toddler, it’s hard to stay put. They get bored, you get frustrated and before you know it, you couldn’t care less about the scribbling on the walls, if it means getting two minutes of peace and quiet. The […]
Easter in Cyprus is very much about traditions so there really isn’t any better place to celebrate this time of year than up in the mountains at Georgie’s grandparents summer house in the village. Families come together, many beers and kilos of meat are consumed and little cousins play in the back of pappou’s pickup […]
Yesterday, Sunday, was a busy day for us and our new home. Georgie’s name day is tomorrow so it was the perfect excuse to invite friends and family over for a feast! The little get-together was also a good excuse for me to ‘fix up’ a couple of rooms and finally frame some posters. The […]
There is so much catching up to do on this little blog of mine. Shall we start with the weather? It’s been lovely and extremely wet these past few days. However, that subsequently meant that once Georgie was down for the evening I would make a little excuse about the rain, curl up in bed […]
I want to share this new obsession of mine, an unbelievable easy recipe for healthy snacking that Georgie loves. All you do is blend a handful of goji berries and pumpkin seeds and then mix with a heaped tablespoon of heated coconut oil. Roll the mixture into little balls and place in the fridge. This is one […]
I looked at the clock tonight at precisely the time Georgie was born two years ago. And then I looked at my sweet little boy playing with his wind-up toy car on the floor. Yep. Time flies. But honestly, I didn’t dwell on that side of it too much. Oddly enough, I only got teary […]
This post was supposed to be about my love for thrift shops and second-hand goods but today was the type of day that leaves me with enough energy to make homemade bolognese and watch a movie. Why? Well, our morning started off with Georgie spilling ground cinnamon EVERYWHERE. I was making scrambled eggs at the […]
This mask was one of two presents I gave Georgie after returning from London. The first, a vintage Fisher Price wind-up TV, is sitting safely on a shelf. The second, this lion mask I picked up from a One Pound Shop outside of London, is hands-down one of his favourite things to play with. He […]
Have a great one people! And don’t forget to SMILE!
A quick trip to the health food store and Get Fresh this afternoon and we were ready to dig in to a vegetarian lunch. We are big meat eaters in this house but vegetarian options are very frequent due largely to Georgie who loves stuff like quinoa, broccoli and veggie tofu sticks. I found these veggie sticks […]
