1. I love Frances McDormand. After watching this short clip of her speaking about aging, I admire her even more.
2. Inspiration for the modern mama.
3. I WILL make this macrame curtain soon. The step-by-step instructions are fantastic and make it look so easy.
If your child is at the stage of seeking his or her independence then you’ll probably know that in the beginning the whole process can actually take longer! It’s a trying time, waiting patiently as they study their pants, shoving their legs in the wrong hole and then putting their trousers over their head. You feel like yanking the clothes away and doing it yourself but you don’t need me to tell you that is wrong.
Taken five months ago during a family visit to the village of Handria, in the Pitsilia area, where a friend’s parents live, these photos depict the making of soutzouko, a favourite traditional sweet.
Watching the process and even pulling my sleeves up to have a go was an amazing experience. Traditions and village gatherings such as these were never part of my childhood since none of my grandparents lived in Cyprus, so I adore them and find them fascinating.
What is your daytime skincare routine? Every morning I cleanse my skin with Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser, then I tone with Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner. I follow that with two drops of Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment and Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum to the face. I also use the Pro-Collagen Lifting Neck and Marine Cream followed by Elemis’ Liquid Layer Sunblock with a SPF 30. I follow this routine every morning including brushing my teeth.
2. So proud of papa. He won first place.
3. My sister made more cinnamon rolls this weekend. I may have to kill her.
4. Have you caught Georgie on TV? I haven’t yet!
5. Most Saturday and Sunday mornings, we find these little lego gifts outside our bedroom door. Could he be any more adorable?
