I took Georgie to the hair salon to get his first haircut. It only took five minutes and technically it wasn’t even a proper haircut because I couldn’t bare to take too much off. just a little here and a little there to tidy things up.

let’s play
Sunday started out as a lovely sunny day. Georgie was in his blue jean dungarees, mummy was wearing a long black flowy dress while papa was in sneakers and a t-shirt.We had lunch then headed to the park where we were having a super fun time until…Georgie slammed his head into the rocky ground. i can’t tell you what happened in the next few seconds because i honestly can’t remember. All i remember is seeing blood pouring down his face into his eyes and the wet wipe I had pulled out of my bag, before SEEING the blood, painted red! We’re going to the hospital, was apparently the first thing i said before rushing across the park, black flowy dress blazing. i didn’t care who was there, who was looking, where my bag was or my mobile phone. i always wondered about those kind of things when watching a movie. i mean, something happens and the next thing you know, fancy clothes are being torn, cars are being torched and basically everything we seem to bloody depend on is now useless and disposed of.
Well i’m not sorry actually because only if you’ve experienced the real meaning of ‘going crazy’ will you understand my obsession. It’s a healthy one and it ensures my child sleeps, gets his rest, recharges his batteries, relaxes his busy brain and basically just chills! this means that i am one of those mothers who uses a prop to help my baby sleep. after reading a truckload of books on the matter, all of which specifically point out the importance of falling asleep without aid, i beg to differ.
After watching Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute meals show i decided i should cook more! The truth is I really enjoy cooking especially if it’s something that requires lots of different spices, fresh organic produce and some good wine but I make excuses more often than I tend to admit. I remind myself how much satisfaction I get from serving a dish with pipping hot homemade food and this past few week I’ve managed to cook three times in a row! Yesterday I cheated and made a pasta dish but it was baked and with tuna! oh! but the best part? the heart-shaped pasta!
please put your hands together for my boy who now sips from a straw! The things that make mummies happy… hope you’re having a relaxing weekend!
ps: couldn’t resist posting a picture of the river that passes through the village where my parents and sister live.
