shopping discovery

  Shopping with Georgie can SOMETIMES be fun. Those times however usually include a space where it’s safe for him to roam about. It’s such a shame there aren’t more stores with beautiful kiddie corners stacked with books and toys and no holes to escape. Last year I discovered Jellybean on Stasicratous Street in Nicosia. An utterly gorgeous space packed with cute clothes, great books and Tigadoo’s wooden toys. Here, Georgie can play and so can I! The bandana he’s wearing? I couldn’t resist! And I couldn’t resist this black tank top either!

sugar and stickers

This afternoon, my sister came round with her two older kids, Angelo and Mia for some Scotch pancakes with jam and chocolate cake. We had to figure a way to balance all that sugar and energy so we gave them two large pieces of paper and as many stickers as we could find. Georgie was having so much fun at one point he started pulling faces and running up and down the flat!  I was surprised at just how much fun kids can have without necessarily getting dirty. Can’t believe I didn’t think of stickers before.

market love

This afternoon we showed our support for my gorgeous friend Z, who organized a street market in the old town of Nicosia. Old furniture, albums, books, trinkets and clothes were on parade in a small alleyway where music was blaring and the mojitos were on fire! I could’ve spent at least a couple of hours browsing the stalls but alas motherhood was calling so we said hello to friends we haven’t seen in AGES, took a few pics and headed to the nearest cafe for homemade lemonade and supper for Georgie.Note the Snoopy tie!yes please! to those camel colored flats.I can’t even begin to tell you how sad I am that bag is not in my closet!Really looking forward to more market love. xxx

getting creative

This evening, after tucking in Georgie, papa, S and I stepped outside for a ciggie and a glass of wine. Looking at the poor state my unimaginative drawings on the veranda wall were, we decided to get down and dirty. Enjoyed every minute of it!

artist at work…please be quiet!

I finally got around to getting georgie fingerpaints. Basically, I was browsing this awesome blog called Entertaining Monsters and found this fantastic idea to incorporate into his first fingerpainting session. I got a blank canvas, bought some stickers which I stuck on the bottom of the canvas and let him run wild!He began slowly…only putting his fingers in his mouth once before going absolutely crazy. I swear in a single second the paint was EVERYWHERE. I used a whole pack of wet wipes, which worked surprisingly well on georgie and the floor and the kitchen cabinets and my nose!My baby’s first piece of art!
