This week the kids have been off school for half term, I’ve launched my new podcast and it was my birthday yesterday. Suffice to say it’s been a busy week. But no matter how busy things get, if it’s my birthday I want to have a mini celebration with my nearest and dearest. Organizing a party, albeit a small one, would have been a struggle with three kids and very little time, which is why I was so happy to work with Rocking Sugar for my 38th birthday celebrations.
I’m writing this with just one day away until a podcast I have created will launch. As always I keep it real and raw so here are some behind the scenes photos and words on how Mamma Mu, the one and only podcast for women and mamas in Cyprus was created.
Ever since I discovered a world of beautifully curated local lifestyle shops for kids, now I rarely, if ever, shop on the high street or at the mall. Especially when it comes to birthdays and Christmases. I absolutely love the fact that now I can buy my kids clothes, toys and books without feeling bad about the lack of sustainability and quality. I can support local businesses, ones that are run by mamas and families and I am able to offer my boys some of the best choices available to parents. All this fits in perfectly with my recent kiddie shop discovery, the Little Heroes Boutique in Nicosia.
Keeping up with my Be Happy Be Healthy series and all the little things I am doing to stay on a positive vibe track, I wanted to tell you all about my meditation journey. Up until a couple of months ago and despite knowing all the amazing benefits that come with shutting down my brain for a few minutes every day, I couldn’t meditate. Not for the life of me. No matter how much I tried, I felt lost and unable. It felt scary.
Hello and welcome back. So let’s talk energy balls because I’ve been making loads over the past year. There are a number of reasons why I have become slightly obsessed. They are easy and uncomplicated to make, it usually takes less than 15 minutes and it means I have a constant flow of healthy treats to snack on during the day and evening. I am a big snacker so this is huge for me. After trying a mixture of recipes here are my favourite which make for great after-school treats too.
