I miss the sky and it makes me sad. Those living in Cyprus and experiencing this horrific dust cloud phenomenon will understand my depressive mood. I don’t think I will take a blue sky for granted ever again. Moving on…
1. Grand decisions have been made to fix up a much-needed little work room in the house. Love these inspirational spaces.
Wednesday marked Georgie’s first day back to school. His excitement about moving up a class was adorable and also contagious. That means no tears this year. I’m actually quite proud of myself! Ha! Remember last year?
I have been thinking of changing up The Parent Hood, adding more lifestyle inspiration and hopefully posting every Friday so these cool links can be read over the weekend with a hot cup of tea and some peace and quiet.
One day over the summer, my dad handed me a big cardboard box. It was packed with drawings and paintings, school report cards and birthday cards and even a diary I kept as a teenager. Memories and keepsakes from my childhood and a bunch of other utterly irreplaceable stuff were discovered during a cupboard clear-out and I could not be more thankful to my parents for saving every single piece.
This morning, my eyes were literally swollen shut. I am in a state of shock and saddened to my very core. Yesterday, at 4:15 in the afternoon, papa and I braced ourselves as we said goodbye to our beautiful darling dog, Lily Rose.
Over the last one month Lily’s health drastically deteriorated. Yesterday we found out this was due to a misdiagnosis of a well-known Mediterranean disease called Leishmania. Symptoms can be hard to detect until they’re not. And you’re suddenly faced with a very sick pet and the sickest of all feelings that something is definitely not OK.

2. This is a brilliant post by the 50s Housewife. An age by age list of ways to show your child how to clean up after themselves and contribute as a member of a household.
3. New favourite blog! That has absolutely nothing to do with parenting.
