This is me a few days ago.... I was trying OH so hard to catch a bit of zzzzzzzz's, considering I had pulled an all nighter the previous evening. Let's see.... traveling 23 hours, an 8 hour time difference and add the all nighter to the equation and you have one TIRED mama! So I'll be back chatty with you VERY soon, I promise. And I've decided I'll sprinkle bits and pieces of my vacation (because I do have lots to share) in between other … [Read more...]
The “Must Do’s” in the Motherland
As a parent, I feel I have a responsibility to teach and show my kids certain things when traveling (and otherwise), help them learn and grow, and to experience those things that until now, have they only seen online, in textbooks, or on tv. Hence, you can call me the "tour guide" or as I have called part of this summer, "our summer vacation is one big field trip". So if you find yourself ever traveling to Greece, I wanted to share with you … [Read more...]
The Motherland Part 1
Where do I begin? I know that sounds like the beginning of the Dr. Zhivago love song, but that is how I feel when I speak of this subject. My travels to Greece. I'm writing this to you from vacation, and my head spins with so much.... As a little background to this post, some of you might know already, I am Greek, and the hubs is Greek, and we both grew up going to Greece almost every other summer. After life's happenings, we are now back … [Read more...]
In the News… Gladiators.
Being that I'm in the motherland and have had not such great internet, I am becoming less and less "social" per-se. And to be quite honest, I've been so busy with family (we can leave that for another post!) that between that, trying to NOT eat too much, and catching up on sleep, the internet hasn't been at the top of my to-do. Sometimes we need to UN-PLUG and decompress. But, of course, in the back of my mind, all of you lovies are here and I … [Read more...]
Parisian Pretties
Wrapping up some thoughts and images of Paris for you. A few final pictures that captured some of the uniqueness and beauty this fabulous city had to offer... Look at that fantastic display at Galleries Lafayette for the swimwear department. I fell in love with all the darling flower shops on the streets. I was so taken with all the beautiful architecture and ironwork. All of the buildings are so old and … [Read more...]

Paris Fashion on the Streets, Part 1
I was SO taken by Paris and as I had said before SO overstimulated, I was taken by every sight, every smell, every sound. And of course, fashion is definitely a huge part of that. So much so that the sneaky side of me was coming out (driving the family INSANE, by the way!), that I tried to take pictures of strangers on the streets to share with you. This one shot I think defines it all... Isn't she absolutely FABULOUS???? What you … [Read more...]
Welcome to Paris
You know how people tell you how certain things can over stimulate a baby's mind? Like patterns or colors? Which depending on how you reference it, can be a good or bad thing..... in a baby's room where he needs his sleep, perhaps not so much, but in toys, probably yes. Such is the case with MY brain right now! I'm overstimulated and cant settle down! Take a look at this picture and you'll begin to see why.... This view is what we … [Read more...]

Gladiator Sandals
from Stuart Weitzman or these.... ELLIE 120-MAX Knee-High Multistrap Women's Flat Sandal with Zipper Here is my take on these.... I got these a few years ago at Victoria's Secret, but never wore them. Love em or leave em? Yes or no? Please chime in. The hubs can't stand them. And every time I wear them I get looks, points and comments. Personally, none of that bothers me, but I'd love to know what my … [Read more...]
