Georgie and I will be taking a little four-day trip to Vienna this week. He’s super excited about it as am I because we both love travelling so much. And despite having been to Vienna before I can’t wait to go back and take Georgie with me as it’s such a beautiful and child-friendly destination. And so close! Just a three and a half hour airplane ride from Cyprus.
I am totally head over heels in love with these handwoven baskets by Plum and Sparrow.
Aren’t they phenomenal? And the story behind these gorgeous baskets is even more amazing and worth loving. Apart from being a Fair Trade Federation small business, Plum and Sparrow‘s one-of-a-kind baskets are handmade in Africa. Ultimately, 10% of all baskets sold help support over 400 African weavers and their families providing them with school supplies, healthcare and the funding and building of community weaving centers.
I was unsure about sharing my birthing experience on the blog. I’ve always felt it was too personal. It’s been almost five years since I started Georgie’s Mummy and among all these words and pictures not once have I mentioned my birth story. While I won’t go into details -perhaps another time- I have decided to share one big part of my story. This is mainly due to the fact that I am on my way to having the kind of birth I never thought I could have. A natural birth.
We don’t buy cakes often. If papa, Georgie or I crave a certain type usually I’ll just bake it over the weekend. We all have our own favourites so nothing takes too long to whip up. But then there are times (and as my pregnancy progresses they’re getting more frequent) when baking is the furthest thing from my mind. But eating isn’t.
1. How to write smarter to do lists.
