Motherhood, on our island

I took a conscious parenting workshop. Here’s what I learned.

If you’ve been reading the blog for a while now – and following along on Instagram – then you know that during the last 18 months I have entered a crazy zone. The transition from one child to three in under three years came as a shock to me and, almost literally, turned my world upside down. I didn’t know what I was doing anymore, I often felt scared and I was not feeling like me anymore. Life became a chaos and I got lost in it. In bed every night I would lie awake thinking about one thing: how the fuck am I supposed to be a parent to my kids? It’s funny how some answers just come and find you. I got invited to a Conscious Parenting workshop. It hasn’t changed my life. It’s made it better.

Plant pot spray painting

We’ve had one of those big ceramic pots on our veranda for over two years now. Inside is a climbing plant – not sure which kind- that quickly managed to cling onto the wall next to it. So when we decided to spray-paint the pot, we knew we wouldn’t be easy. Turns out it wasn’t that hard at all mainly because we had one of those spray paint handle grips. What a life changer. I have always loved spray painting stuff. Frames, pots, glass jars, ornaments and light fixtures. So I know a good spray paint brand when I see one. Enter Pinty Plus. Oh and they have little ones too. You know, for little hands.

Easy and sweet traditional Japanese matcha recipes

I received my first pouch of matcha powder earlier this month from Boost Bio Market and Ev Zin Bio. I’m a big fan of matcha smoothies but other than that I had no idea what to do with it. Enter a good friend, fellow boy mama and all around awesome person, Minako. I first wanted her matcha tea recipe. Then I wanted her matcha parfait recipe. Soon I was receiving photos of mouth-drooling Japanese treats and simple little recipes. So we decided to share and here they are!

Why I love going to summer music festivals

Last Saturday night I was sitting on the floor, outdoors, in an music arena, by the water in Faliro, Athens with a beer by my side and not a care in the world. I am about to dance and sing with thousands of people to the rhythms of rock legend, Iggy Pop. I noticed a feeling, the same feeling I always get when I am part of a large crowd at a music festival. Good vibes take on a completely different meaning during long warm summer moments like these. I have been traveling to summer music festivals abroad on and off over the past 8 years and it is an experience I am literally hooked on.
