Fresh mixed juices and smoothies: Five places I go to get my fix

I’ve been meaning to buy a juicer for ages. I’ve even done the research and nailed it down to a couple that suit my needs. But every time I’m about to hit the purchase button I hesitate and ask myself: Will I really use it? And, I’m ashamed to say, the answer is no. To be honest, for now, at this busy point in my life and especially during the week when I’m doing the school run, I would rather grab and go and get my fix from a few places I have discovered that are thriving in the fresh mixed juice and smoothie game.

How to refresh your style as a busy mum

Being a parent is the best job in the world. However, parenting can often mean that you spend your time chasing around after the kids without having a single second spare to spend on yourself. There is no doubt that your new role as a parent can become all-consuming. In those first years as a parent, it can be challenging to find any time for yourself, and your own interests may be put on hold during this time. During this period, many mums start feeling a little lost and no longer like themselves.

munching in the fresh air

        There seemed to be a light breeze in the air today which meant that Georgie could play outside. I grabbed some awesome lunch from Get Fresh and headed to the park. There wasn’t a soul around. Georgie had the playground all to himself.

Today I realized that being at the park surrounded by trees, dirt, sticks and stones is the only place where he really enjoys himself and doesn’t ‘need’ me. At some point, he was sitting in the same position for at least five minutes…A book or a magazine may have come in handy. He NEVER sits still for one minute, let alone five! I guess it’s nature’s effect.        Picked up this shopping bag yesterday and already it has made my life easier.        Overall, a beautiful day.

home and design, let's play

things are getting a little crazy…

This past week I have come so close to going crazy, I swear it’s not even funny. Last night I couldn’t sleep(never happens to me!) and yesterday I was convinced my favorite maxi dress was washed, ironed and ready to be worn, when in fact it was so deep in the laundry basket I worried I wouldn’t be able to get rid of the creases. I had turned my wardrobe upside down, which meant that i was left sans maxi dress and a whole lotta mess. The reason for my recent state of mind is the house we are building. Oh my! Have you ever attempted to renovate or build from scratch? If you have then you understand. This is my dream home I keep telling those who say I should enjoy the adventure. It’s no time for adventures. I need to get it 1000% right! Everything needs to be perfect. I want to look at it everyday and marvel. But how do I really know what is perfect? I see something. i like it. easy, right? not when you have a million choices and happen to like a lot of things. This-liking a lot of stuff- is my main problem, my friend believes. I should narrow down what i like. Still, deciding on what color I want my house to be, what tiles go in the bathroom, if I want a wooden staircase or a marble one or what type of wood i prefer in my walk-in-wardrobe (oh yes!) or choosing between a classic or modern touch is just too much for me. I know there are people with serious problems out there but this house is costing a lot of money and I need to be careful when making thousands of euros worth of choices. This is it. We’re nearing the finish line and finally able to give Georgie a beautiful home with a garden and decisions need to be made.
