style and beauty

style to the kids


I like my boy in t-shirts and sneakers. I love him in cut off jeans and I cannot resist a superhero t-shirt. I am pro-tomboy all the way. It’s hard to understand why I ever worried about dressing a boy. It is an absolute uncomplicated joy. Yet sometimes I catch myself walking straight into a heap of tutus and frilly bows and smiling. I am drawn to the cuteness of a little white dress, an embroidered flower and fine fabrics. This does not happen often but when it does it’s usually worth mentioning, so if you have a little girl who you just love dressing up, take yourself down to Marasil. There are stores in Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia. They stock truly gorgeous dresses in lovely fabrics and a number of christening options without the tulle overload. Basic, everyday clothes in breathable materials are available here. Everything is made in Europe, which I appreciate and there’s a cool boys collection too with the coolest croc swim trunks I’m thinking of grabbing.

Vienna

This past week, I took three days off mother-duty and flew to Vienna with my best friend for a Pearl Jam concert. The first time we saw them live was at Rock Werchter in Brussels in 2012 and despite having an absolute blast with a mix of Lana Del Rey, The Gossip and most notably, Jack White, it dimly compared to the three-hour musical sensation we were lucky to experience this week. Just a few rows shy from the stage, we danced amongst a sea of 10,000 fans on the floor alone. My expectations were surpassed when they played my favourite song, which you can see on the YouTube link below.

In the kitchen- Flourless peanut butter chocolate chip mini blender muffins

This has to be the easiest muffin recipe ever. I mean, I am fully aware that muffins are easy to make but this is utterly ridiculous. All you do is stuff the ingredients in a blender, blend and scoop. And the best part is NO FLOUR and NO SUGAR! And yes, they are mouth-watering yummy.

Ingredients include peanut butter, one egg, one banana, baking soda, vanilla extract, honey and chocolate chips, which are optional.

an art corner

Displaying Georgie’s art has been on my list of things-to-do for an embarrassingly long time. I have a folder where I keep not only Georgie’s musings but also my godson’s and niece and nephew’s. But there’s always one favourite hanging on the side of the fridge or sitting clumsily on the blackboard in the pantry. So it was about time I got some wire, two nails and a few pegs and created a little art corner.

The Parent Hood//02

I’m excited about this week’s The Parent Hood. There’s a good mix and an eye-opening read. Grab that cup of tea.

The only reason kids love the beach is because of SAND. I’m seriously considering doing this.

Always on the lookout for inspiring ideas for Georgie’s bedroom.

I have been keeping up with Jacqui’s blog since she lost her beautiful three year old son, Ryan. She is using the space to write her way through this tragedy. She is a remarkable woman.
