Wedding gift traditions around the world

Recently I was scrolling through one of my favourite blogs, Cup of Jo when I came across an article about weddings and cash registries in the US. Joanna, author of the blog, explained that she once had the urge to give cash as a wedding gift instead of usual household registry and that she used a cool site where couples register for cash in a sweet way. Interesting no?

Bits and pieces of our Easter

I decided to take a few days off blogging and rest up with the family during the Easter holidays. Our past two Easters have been spent travelling so this year we wanted to be with our families and really ‘feel’ Easter.

Keeping the kids busy: What do you take with you?

We were having dinner at a little restaurant in Vienna when I noticed Georgie and his tablet seemed to be getting a lot of attention from the people around us. It didn’t occur to me at the time but later on I realised that tablets/iPads/tech gadgets weren’t popular among kids at restaurants or coffee shops. Actually I don’t think I saw a single child carrying or playing on one the whole time we were there. READ MORE
