This can definitely be classified as a way to be happy and healthy. Give your blog a facelift! I’ve been itching to do this for a while now so it feels good to finally see the new logo. And it feels even better to unveil the inspiration behind it: my new business cards designed by Design Lab, a local mother-run business that’s worth learning all about if you run a business too.
The kids are back at school so I’m assuming, like me, you are faced with a landslide of forms to fill in and various belongings that need name tags. Ever since Georgie started preschool over four years ago I have been using a number of ways to keep track of his lunchbox and water bottle and school bag, all of which have disappointed me. So when I discovered Unicorns and Superheroes who specialise in kiddie stationery and name tag WATERPROOF stickers I knew I could now relax.
A few months ago, during a usual busy evening with the exception of being heavily pregnant, I was huffing and puffing, folding clothes, picking up toy cars up off the floor and rushing to get dinner ready when I heard Georgie talking in his room. Loudly. It was 8.30 and he was supposed to be in bed. Manically, I made my way up the stairs, fired up to give him a scolding. But then I stopped. As I came closer to his bedroom door I realised he wasn’t talking. He was reading.
Two days after I excitedly posted on Facebook about our first Easter as a family of five, James had a fever. A very high fever that started early on Easter Sunday and lasted throughout the week. So our two-week break from reality and routine didn’t go as planned but we did have a few glorious moments.
When a good friend of mine contacted me about trying out something new that involves chocolate I jumped at the opportunity. The fact that it’s a student start-up company product competing in the Junior Achievement Cyprus competition made the notion even more intriguing. So on a quiet afternoon Georgie, James and I sat down to test-run the mouth-watering experience that is Chocsticks.
