boy oh boy

He shrugs his shoulders and walks off. I had just asked him where his shoes are and that’s all I get. Shoulders shrugging. It’s so weird watching Georgie act like a grown up, making grown up expressions and saying grown up things. It makes me laugh. I imagine him as a teenager and even though that comes with a pang of anxiety, it makes me so excited about watching him form a character all his own. My favourite part of the day is when I put him in the bathtub and let him play. He talks to himself. Questions and answers flow and he even changes the tone of his voice according to the dinosaur he has in hand. It might sound like the silliest thing but it is what makes me happy. Georgie, my darling, YOU make me so happy.

a birthday

Last week we celebrated my birthday. Our families came round for souvlakia and cake. Oh and champagne! We put our fireplace to good use for the first time too, welcoming the cold winter nights that have finally decided to make an appearance. By far the highlight of my day was the vintage Kodak Bullseye camera papa gave me. I love that guy! READ MORE

In the kitchen— Mushroom and spinach omelette

As much as I like to cook, I have noticed that I tend to avoid complicated recipes. A never-ending list of ingredients scares the shit out of me. I love a good challenge in the kitchen but most days I want to avoid the hassle.  That’s why I love quick, simple, get to the point type of recipes. These types are made even better when they don’t break the bank and can be found (or should be) in your pantry, fridge or freezer. This is a great example. You can whip it up in minutes if you have a few eggs, some spinach (frozen will do), a couple of mushrooms and some shredded cheese. It’s filling, healthy and quick. Pop some tomatoes in the oven before you start and enjoy a good old hearty omelette. READ MORE

chalk and black

Getting a big blackboard hung on the pantry wall is something I have wanted to do since we moved in. Using the veranda wall back in the flat was OK but I wanted the real thing and lots of pieces of chalk!I’ve been picking up chalk font ideas on Pinterest for ages and can’t wait to start putting them to good use. Like designing a big monthly calendar or even a weekly meal planner with scribbles of quick recipes and dessert ideas. Georgie has shown a massive interest in the big black board even though it probably has something to do with suddenly not being screamed at when he’s caught scribbling on the wall. Plus he gets to stand on a stool which is always a toddler favourite! So for now I’m letting Georgie take the stage.  READ MORE
