water, baby

   There’s a reason I sort of ‘believe’ in star signs. Georgie’s a Pisces and guess what? he LOVES water! I don’t know if all kids are as obsessed with water as my little dude is. If so then I have a question, parents? how do you ever get them away from it??? You have no idea how much the poor thing cried when it was time to go. He was inconsolable. When we’re at the beach, things aren’t so bad. But give him a hose, water and trees and he can mess around all day- now if only he had all day. Today he helped his grandfather water the cucumbers, courgettes and tomato patches. He was having so much fun until he got too wet, bedtime was approaching and I had stuff to do. He cried all the way home…all 10 minutes.xxx

mother’s day lunch

Spent an entirely relaxing day yesterday which didn’t even include checking my e-mails. that’s how relaxing it was! so today i’m posting a super yummy and healthy lunch Georgie and I really enjoyed. i stopped by Get Fresh and picked up some sushi for me, edamame and a salad with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and avocado for georgie. i also sneaked in some rice from my sushi. i haven’t given him any to try yet-sushi, i mean- even though the doc did say it’s ok. i feel i should give him a little more time and then papa, him and me can all go out for sushi and maki.

fish, sheep, birdies and chickens

This is what we had for lunch today! I wish I could say papa fought a vicious battle to bring this 5 kilo fish home but the truth is we bought it from a fisherman and decided to take to my sister’s house for a big lunch with the familia. Not quite sure what type of fish it is but it tasted AMAZING as you can imagine!It took two and a half hours to cook it to perfection so Georgie, my mum and dad and I took a walk down to the farm. Georgie’s been doing this funny thing where he mimics Tano by growling, eating food off the floor and chewing toys so it was only natural he would mimic the other animals too!

today…

…Georgie and I chilled. We had strawberries and weetabix for breakfast……went to the mall for a milkshake and some book browsing… (ended up buying wrapping paper and a DVD)……took a quick trip to the park for some ice cream……and we then ended the day getting dirty, feeding Tano and using our new chalk on the veranda wall. I picked up this natural and above all washable chalk from Tigadoo, one of the only-if not the only- eco-friendly kids’ stores in Nicosia. Such a great variety of wooden toys, clothes and hygiene products. Love that place!Moments like these make me wish I could feckin draw! But I can’t so poor Georgie will have to do with a orange-lemon tree. Hope you have a lovely weekend!xxx

big lunch, healthy snack

what’s that in Georgie’s hand? It’s a chicken bone! I find they are great for babies to suck on or even use as a spoon!of course you should make sure the bone is big enough and that your child can’t bite the edges off. I also don’t even think i should mention that you never leave your child unattended while eating. I boiled some chicken last night and teamed it with some spaghetti -real comfort food. Georgie had some for lunch today mixed with yoghurt. Later on, he threw a fit when he spotted the fresh strawberries I picked up at the market. i couldn’t cut them up and get them in the net thingy fast enough. Can’t complain though. My baby’s a healthy eater and I am very happy! Poor Tano had to    watch from afar because Georgie kept ‘offering’ him some. So cute!
