I am wearing slipper booties right now, so I am officially saying bye to summer. It’s been a blast. The festivities and events, barbeques with friends, late afternoon swimming in the sea, daily excursions and weekend vacations with my little dude in tow are moments I love and live for. Looking forward to so much more in the coming years. But right now, give me cold, dreary, wrap-up-type-of weather. Apart from new warm clothes and accessories I’m dying to put Georgie in -not to mention Christmas songs I am extremely patiently waiting to listen to-, I am really stoked about using our new fireplace and spending our first Christmas in our home. Bring it on, autumn!

Leftover edamame and avocados, were two of the ingredients I used to make this green dip. You can add fresh garlic-if you’re brave and won’t be socialising for the day- some basil or cilantro, lemon and olive oil. Put everything in a blender and enjoy with warm pitta bread or chicken.

We are loving our new GoPro Hero camera. It’s perfect for capturing Georgie underwater. Hope this puts a smile to your face. Have a great day.
Before my sister kissed her holidays goodbye, we had planned to take the kids on a little excursion. We chose the Santa Marina Retreat-which was actually our second choice but that’s only because we were rejected by our first choice due to having too many children! 4 children. Sorry. Too many. I’ll have to tell you about that one day. Anyway, so fate had it we would spend a fantastic yet very hot day in Parekklisia, Limassol, feeding fish, riding horses and walking ALOT. Georgie loved every minute of it. Except-as you can probably tell from the photo above- the moment he was told he couldn’t actually RIDE the horse. He was merely allowed to sit on it. I died when I saw this picture. I felt so sorry for my little dude who thinks he can do everything! One day, my love, I tell him.There are a number of activities to try at the retreat like archery, paintball, golf, wall climbing. We didn’t do half for a few reasons. Very young children, no booking in advance and no papas with us. Yet the kids had the time of their lives. Seclusion in the mountains: good stuff.
