How To Stay Connected When Exploring Egypt, With Or Without Kids

September 19, 2012
How to stay connected.

Baby Nerves…

September 11, 2012
I sit and wonder what he'll look like and who he'll be.

Out for the Summer

So we're out for the summer...I cannot believe it's September already.

Something We Made Earlier…

September 6, 2012
My husband (and quite possibly my toddler's) take on nesting is involving baking-a lot of baking, like every evening this week. I'm not complaining, although my thighs might be when I finally get back on the treadmill post baby.

Nesting Mode…

September 5, 2012
I appear to be in full on crazy lady nesting mode right now and find myself obsessively organising like crazy. Even my Tivo box favourite shows are in order of preference (Kardashians and back issues of TOWIE first)-what I'm pregnant... and yesterday saw me sorting out my husband's sock drawer. In my defence I was high on Celebrations chocolates and the latest episode of Corrie.
Cyprus

Far Away Family…

August 30, 2012
I often think of my far away family and more so now the new baby is nearly here. As a British born Greek Cypriot, my beloved 95 year old Grandma (Yiayia) lives in Cyprus with the majority of my father's family and my husband is an English South African whose relatives live in Port Elizabeth.

Friday Fun…Celebrity Mothers of Sons

August 24, 2012
In keeping with my light hearted Friday fun posts, I thought I'd bring you Celebrity Mothers of Sons-just because, well I'll soon be a mama of two boys myself and I want to know which celebs have boys too, get some style tips and indulge in a futile but fun post. Enjoy!

What Will My Baby Look like?

August 21, 2012
I'm going through that stage where I physically can't wait to meet my baby and see his little face. You know that crazy 'time-stops-still' moment where they hand you your offspring for the first time and you remain in shock for the next two years, yeah that...

Breathtaking Canvas Prints

August 20, 2012
I feel super lucky that the generous folks at Photo-Canvas offered to send us two 60x40 canvases using photos of our choice. We had to select our little star for one of them and also opted for a stunning landscape that my gifted husband Peter took of the view from the garden.

Essential One Newborn Clothes

August 12, 2012
I'm so grateful to receive beautiful blogger's perks and was literally bowled over when the fabulous family run online boutique The Essential One sent us stunning gifts for Baby No 2.

Piñata Time! Guest Post by Mr HonestMum

August 11, 2012
Now I'm not saying I often get a pizza delivered on a Saturday night. I'm not even saying I know the names of most of the delivery guys. And I'm definitely not saying I keep a lookout for the voucher SMS's from our local Domino's.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

August 10, 2012
Preparing for Baby No 2's arrival got me thinking back to other monumental days and most recently our wedding day-we celebrated our 7 year anniversary (6 years since the Greek wedding, 7 since the English) last month and time has truly flown by!

Taking two out of three of my children (the other Taking two out of three of my children (the other had different term times and football commitments so couldn’t make either weeks, and my husband was working) as well as my maman, we enjoyed art, culture, exquisite food, shopping and sightseeing of course together (bonjour La Tour Eiffel) in a nourishing ‘week’, clocking up an average of 20k steps a day (without complaint, miraculously) in the stunning city of lights!

We thankfully missed the riots but did see some of the aftermath with designer shops being boarded up and some smashed-up shop fronts. We didn’t feel unsafe however and felt lucky to not have experienced anything troubling during our stay. We left before the second scheduled riot. Now, let me begin by stating that Paris is not only child-friendly but child-centered with bistros, fine-dining restaurants, art galleries and shops welcoming children with open arms. Everyone we met from shop assistants and waiters, receptionists in the hotel, to those working in the airport, referred to Florence as a princess and directed conversation to her before us! The Parisians were always kind and affable, and we experienced excellent service everywhere we went! Dix points! In just 20 images, I share my tips if you’re considering a trip to Paris. There are more details on my blog. Don’t forget to save it! #paris #advice #travellingwithkids #explore #travel
