what georgie wore

     It’s uncommonly cold here on the island. I’ve been running errands all day -including changing my hair colour; natural hues were inspiring me- and relishing the moments of wooly hats and warm leggings. We did some shopping in the morning because I needed to stock up on all-in-ones for Georgie. He’s outgrowing everything!  I picked up a few long-sleeved t-shirts from Benetton -including this awesome black Thor shirt- as they had a 50% discount and some pj’s from Debenhmas. A Happy Meal was our food of choice for lunch and an early afternoon nap followed shortly after. Wrap up warm, guys. There might be a chance of snow! READ MORE

all that matters

      My parents left for London this afternoon. My daddy needs surgery. Sigh. I have been writing and deleting wondering if this is something i truly want to share here on the blog. But you know what?  It is. Because this is a trying time for my family and this blog is about both the good times and bad that I know all families have. The photos are a reminder to me and Georgie that despite these difficult times, we were surrounded by loved ones. And that’s all that  matters. READ MORE

conversations

       I was washing the dishes when I heard Georgie saying ‘ello’ back to the TV and then repeating the word ‘apple’. My little dude is growing. Fast. He mumbles all sorts and is building a vocabulary all his own. I really cannot wrap my head around the fact that soon we will be having conversations and he’ll be blowing my mind with the kind of childish fantasy I crave in life. He says the word ‘ne’ – Greek for yes- in a number of voices and tones depending on the question. He can name both grandmothers. He calls his auntie Soula ‘Sasa’ and screams ‘BAAAA’ every time a bus goes by. READ MORE

Happy dance!

 

This morning I was huffing and puffing about the dog relieving himself on my Cath Kidston bag when I turned on the computer and saw a sweet comment in my box. Little Love Nest nominated this blog for a Liebster Award! Thank you! Although I could barely find anything about this award after a quick search, it sounds like a fun and cool way to learn more about the WordPress blogging community. Happy dance, people!

feel good

2013 has brought determination in me. Wishful thinking was convincing me that we would be all moved in our new home by Christmas. When I realised that wasn’t going to happen, putting up the tree and decorating the house had a sour taste to it this Christmas. I had given up making the apartment a home and sort of put everything on hold. Today, I felt so disappointed in myself for fishing out bags of food pass it’s expiration date and tossing it all out. I am disorganised at times and I procrastinate more than I like to admit. That stopped as of yesterday. And I am determined to keep it up. Cleaning through the kitchen cabinets was a major step for me and it made me feel good. Just like spending  more time making this blog something I am proud of will make me feel good. I hope to achieve alot this year in all areas of my life. For my husband, my baby and for me. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Setting simple, small goals is the secret. For now…a smoked salmon and cream cheese baguette is the beginning of bringing a healthy appetite into this home…wherever that may be. READ MORE
