I wasn’t too keen on the idea of taking Georgie to a waterpark- a wild toddler amongst swimming pools is what I call NERVE-WRACKING!-but I am so glad we did. It’s a new family ‘tradition’ we have had every summer for the past six years-maybe even more and this was our first time as parents -last year at only five months old, Georgie stayed home. It was also the first time Georgie felt the flutter of jumping into a swimming pool. He kicked his legs and stretched his little arms. These moments…
When S came over the other day-bearing delicious homemade peanut butter cookies, I should mention- her hairstyle quickly got my attention. Courtesy of Tania at Curlisto, this is the perfect alternative for these hot humid days that doesn’t involve a bun. Let’s face it, most of us just pile it on the top in a messy bun or tie it all into a ponytail when washing the dishes or out and about on errands. If you can’t master this yourself-even after consulting a video online. I certainly couldn’t!- ask your hair stylist to do something fun and romantic instead of the usual blow-dry next time.
Ever since purchasing my first laptop in a VERY long time, I’ve become a tad obsessed with the internet. Actually, ever since I started this blog I’ve become obsessed. I can’t get enough of gorgeously designed blogs, crazy ideas on photography and food and the large community of mummy bloggers there is out there. It really is becoming an integral part of our generation, blogging I mean. Call it what you want but it is opening my eyes more and more each day. Here are bits and bobs I found interesting over this past week. Have a look.
While papa was busy working late a few nights ago, I decided to take the opportunity to catch up on my movies. I have a few DVDs unopened but after checking what was on the telly, I knew what I was going to watch. Frida came out in 2002 yet for some reason, that is totally beyond me, I have never seen it. I think it may had had something to do with Salma Hayek’s acting abilities and lack thereof, I say feeling guilty because I was pleasantly surprised that night.
I am extremely proud to be one of those daughters who thinks her daddy is the best in the world. Our bond runs deep, doesn’t it? It hasn’t always been smooth sailing though. Remember my many many late nights and ridiculous crazy fashion choices? What about the piercings and smoking? Nothing was really that unusual about my behavior growing up; I was merely a rebellious one. For the life of me I could never understand the insistence on table manners or putting the lid back on the coffee pot, or taking my coat and shoes off as soon as I get home. But guess what? Now I do. I see the tiny important things you have taught me in my everyday life now as a mother and I hope that I will be able to give Georgie the same strong foundation. And our love of music! I am more like you than you will ever know! I love you, daddy. xxx
